This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of developing standards for biomimetic materials, based on the authors experience with International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/Technical Committee 266 Biomimetics. With the expansion of global trade, international standards are increasingly called on to protect the interests of consumers, improve business productivity and facilitate trade. In the past, standards typically addressed form/fit/function specifications and were associated with mature industries. Recently some ISO standards are focusing on processes, quality and consistency, which can support advances in emerging fields. ISO has the potential to advance biomimetic materials and biomimetics in general by developing and promoting frameworks that reflect the evolving nature of biomimetics.

Symbol signs ­– signs without words – are often used to communicate safety or public information messages. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides standards ISO 3864-1 and ISO 3864-3 giving design principles for both graphical symbols and completed signs in the safety arena. The present study shows that for difficult signage circumstances a two-part sign, showing the desired and undesired circumstances with a tick and a cross, can be much more effective than the normal single-part sign provided for by these ISO standards. The present study also suggests that ISO’s sign assessment methods could be efficiently combined and simplified.

AbstractInternational virtual human body (VHB) standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifically used in virtual garment systems in the apparel field, as suggested in ISO/TC 133/WG 2 (Working group 2), contain fundamental content regarding definitions of terms, attributes of composition, and the expression and alteration of VHBs. As the first attempt in the series of international standards dealing with VHBs, this study has dealt with fundamental content related to VHB size. Additional standardization is required to allow the size and shape of VHB to be reproducible. Therefore, this study suggests academic and industrial requirements from the perspective of standardization to identify and solve issues regarding the reproduction of human bodies in terms of VHB size and shape. This study is meaningful in that it provides an overview of current VHB standardization efforts, related proceedings, and additionally required assignments. The suggested industrial and academic requirements are anticipated to be helpful in the systematic development and utilization of VHB and general standardization work.

This is the second article in a two-part series that proposes how healthcare organisations could implement a quality assurance approach based on the requirements of a thus far unwritten healthcare modification of the 2015 International Organization for Standardization (ISO 9001). This second article will address the issue of unexpected failures of manufactured medical implants and medication delivery devices. Issues facing the quality assured supply of medical equipment, as well as the failure of implants during fitting or use and the failure or malfunction of powered syringes or drips, is discussed. At the end of the article, a list of self-audit questions is proposed to allow readers to make an assessment of how their own organisation has responded to the failure of medical implants or devices in the past, and whether action has been taken to prevent any problems reoccurring.

International standardization in the field of boilers and pressure vessels is being carried out within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) by Technical Committee No. 11. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is responsible for coordinating this activity on behalf of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Forty-two countries are involved in the work of TC 11 which is organized into 4 subcommittees and 16 working groups covering major areas such as materials, design, welded construction, and serially made pressure vessels.
