They create standards for a multitude of materials, products, test methods, and systems for a variety of industries.​

IAAPA works with ASTM, and other international standards to educate professionals on best practices, emergency procedures, and the latest safety technology.

European Committee for Standardization

The series of three documents—titled EN 13814 by the European Committee for Standardization (Comité Européen de Normalisation in French and abbreviated as CEN)—is a publication of accepted safety rules pertaining to ride design, manufacturing, operation, and inspection across Europe. The newly expanded standards apply to both manufacturers and suppliers, as well as owners and operators.​

The International Organization for Standardization​

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, brings global experts together to agree on the best way of doing things – for anything from making a product to managing a process.
