Designing Material Standards

• Material standards are currently developed though building consensus and voting in organisations like ISO and ASME. If these organisations adopted methods from design in the development process of standards, the user perspective could be added greatly improving the usefulness of the standards. This paper attempts to fi nd the user requirements on material standards and evaluates how well it has been met in four different existing standards. The result is that the end user perspective has been forgotten to a varying extent, leaving plenty of room for improvements which is discussed in the paper.
