On September 11-13, 2024 in Milan, was held a meeting of the International Technical Committee ISO/TC 227 dealing with standardization in the field of metal springs. In addition to the plenary meeting, there was also a meeting of the International Working Group dealing with the revision of the ISO 16249 standard describing symbols for the spring industry, which is part of this committee. Representatives from the USA, China, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Poland are involved in the project.
In this standardization body, as Poland, we are represented by Mr. Oscar Sowa, who is a member of the Polish Spring Manufacturers Association (SPPS) and a delegate of the Polish Committee for Standardization (PKN) to ISO/TC 227 as a technical expert and head of Polish delegation.
One of the primary goals of standardization is to promote quality and safety in products, in this case in springs, which very often play a responsible role in many mechanical systems.
As an association, we are proud that we can take an active part in revising or creating new standards, while sharing our experience and knowledge.
