A series of fluid power systems ISO standards development meetings were recently held in London, United Kingdom. The subcommittee for Contamination Control (SC 6), Product Testing (SC 8), Installations and systems (SC 9) and a total of 7 working groups met to further the developmental progress on current projects, systematic reviews of published standards, and to discuss possible new areas of work within the fluid power industry.
Over 50 committee members representing the fluid power industry attended the week-long meetings. Seven U.S. experts who participate on various U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) attended on behalf of the U.S. fluid power industry. The remaining delegates traveled from China, Japan, Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
U.S. Led Meeting Highlights
Contamination Control committee and its working group have many active projects and multiple stages of development. The working group is also leading the ILS for SRM2806e with NIST.
Brand new Energy Efficiency standards are being developed in the Installations and Systems committee

Continuing the Development Process
NFPA members are encouraged to participate in fluid power industry standards development. Whether at the national and/or international level, your engineering expertise is needed
- to help influence global technology;
- give expert input;
- be a part of the U.S. voice in an international arena.
