Announcement of the American Petroleum Institute's Standards
Activities
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of intent to develop or revise standards and request for
public comments and participation in standards development.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The American Petroleum Institute (API), with the assistance of
other interested parties, continues to develop standards, both national
and international, in several areas. This notice lists the
standardization efforts currently being conducted. The publication of
this notice by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) on behalf of API is being undertaken as a public service. NIST
does not necessarily endorse, approve, or recommend the standards
referenced in this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
