The Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) is the Swiss representative for global (ISO) and European (CEN) standardization, and operates for the benefit of the economy and society. It promotes the development and harmonization of standards, and allows over 2,000 Swiss experts to actively participate in the national and international standardization process. It is divided into seven specialist areas: interdisciplinary standards (INB), machinery, electronics and metals (Swissmem), construction (SIA), roads and traffic (VSS), watchmaking (FH), electrical engineering (Electrosuisse) and telecommunications (asut). Swissmem is the association for the Swiss technology industry. It represents the interests of the mechanical and electrical engineering (MEM) industries in economics, politics and the public sector and promotes the competitiveness of its approximately 1,400 member companies with services tailored to their needs. For many years now, Swissmem has mandated the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) to protect its standardization interests. Electrosuisse is the leading specialist organization for electrical, energy and information technology. For 130 years its focus has been on promoting the safe, economical and environmentally friendly production and use of electricity. Electrosuisse is the source for electrotechnical standardization in Switzerland. The Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (Schweizerische Ingenieur- und Architektenverein, SIA) is the authoritative professional association in Switzerland that brings together qualified specialists from the construction, technology, industrial and environmental sectors. With its standards, documentation and information sheets, it establishes recognized fundamentals for high-quality professional practice. The SIA is considered the leading association in regard to construction standards. The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (Verband der Schweizerischen Uhrenindustrie FH) was founded in 1982 and serves as the umbrella organization of the Swiss watch industry with its head office in Biel. The not-for-profit private association has over 500 members, which represents 90% of all Swiss watchmakers and watch component manufacturers. With the support of its standards committee, the FH coordinates several national, European and international projects in the watch industry. For over 100 years, the VSS has been the standardization organization for the Swiss road and traffic sector. It develops and publishes standards and initiates and guides the corresponding research. The VSS maintains an excellent knowledge network with over 650 professionals in around 80 specialist committees. At the centre of its work is its high commitment to the technologies of the future for the sustainable continued development of its core sector, roads and traffic. DIE PLANER (SWKI) networks, exchanges expertise, generates new knowledge and pools together official guidelines in the energy, environmental and building technology sectors. SWKI guidelines are sold in the web shop of the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the largest developer and publisher of international standards in the world. Its members include national standardization organizations from more than 160 countries, with each country being represented by a single member organization. ISO develops standards that support innovation and offer solutions to global challenges. As an international standardization organization, the IEC is responsible for standards in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and information technology. It brings together more than 170 countries worldwide and provides a neutral, independent global standardization platform for 20,000 experts. The German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V., DIN) is the independent platform organized by private business for standardization in Germany and worldwide. It is one of the oldest standards organizations globally. Together with the business world, scientific community, public sector and civil society, DIN makes a significant contribution to opening up the fields of the future. For more than 165 years, the Association of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure e.V., VDI) has been providing significant boosts to new technologies and technical solutions. In the process it has contributed to a higher quality of life, a better environment and more prosperity. As the third largest technical standards organization, VDI serves as a partner for the German economy and scientific community. AFNOR is the official French standardization organization. The AFNOR Group develops and implements solutions worldwide based on voluntary standards. As part of its standardization activities, the group serves the general interest and provides services in the areas of training, professional and technical information as well as assessment and certification. ASTM International is an international standardization organization with headquarters in the US. It develops technical standards that cover the testing and classification processes for all types of materials. The organization has over 30,000 members from 135 countries. IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. With its seven offices, this engineering association is a global leader in developing international standards in the areas of telecommunications, information technology and power generation. SAE is a worldwide association of more than 128,000 engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automobile and commercial vehicle industries. This US standards organization develops standards for the industries it is involved with, and in doing so guarantees safety, quality and the efficacy of products and services in the mobility technology sector. The German Welding Society (Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren e. V., DVS) is the association for joining, cutting and coating technology in Germany and comprises around 18,000 members. It is a leader for issues related to joining, cutting and coating of metallic and non-metallic tools as well as tools networks. The DVS regulations portal provides access to 500 technical bulletins and guidelines.Our national product range:
