Setting The Standard for Automation
ISA
provides a wide spectrum of services to its members ranging from the
highly technical to the social and political.
The main
objective of the Standards & Practices program
of ISA is "To
enhance instrumentation technology by preparing recommended practices
which are competent, unbiased, widely acceptable and authoritative".
In the past, most
corporations had large staffs of engineers and designers who
worked on
projects of all sizes and also developed and updated in-house standards.
In the 80's and
the 90's , with the downsizing and decentralization of these
corporations
the central engineering staffs are being scaled down , hence the work on
updating corporate standards suffered.
To keep up with
the rapid development of the measurement and control
technologies, the need for standards is more important than ever to
insure good product quality and plant safety , also to make sure that
all the pieces fit together during field construction.
Widely used ISA
standards also help us in promoting our US made products and
services in the
global market place.
By supporting the
S&P program by giving from your time and financial resources,
we can all
fill the void that has been created, and make sure our industries stay
young, competent and competitive.
