NIST Asks for Suggestions for Standards in Trade Workshops

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is inviting recommendations and suggestions for workshops covering specific sectors and targeted countries or regions where training in the U.S. approaches to development and use of standards may facilitate trade, increase U.S. exports, and/or benefit U.S. industry. NIST will offer a limited number of these Standards in Trade (SIT) workshops each year, which are designed to introduce U.S. stakeholders to emerging standards and conformity assesment in other countries and regions; identify regulatory information and market access issues; etc. Recommendations may be submitted at any time and will be considered on a quarterly basis.
