Abstract
The development and maintenance of an economy's standards and conformance technical infrastructure is critical to its economic health. By increasing the competence of its measurement and testing capabilities, in particular, an economy can provide substantial benefits to its manufacturers and consumers. It is also better equipped to participate in the confidence building requirements of the region to take advantage of increased trade opportunities. Technical infrastructure development is a major focus of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Sub-Committee on Standards and Conformance (SCSC) and the Specialist Regional Bodies (SRBs) which work together closely to develop practical programs to assist this development.
