GOVERNMENT INFORMATION: STANDARDS &
SPECIFICATIONS
Standards and specifications provide guidance
and instruction on how goods and services are to be designed, constructed,
manufactured, handled, conducted or tested. Specifications outline requirements
for specific items or services; standards provide guidance for more general
applications. Several United States Federal government agencies develop and
issue standards and specifications, including the following:
To identify those issued use the Index of Federal Specifications,
Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions (published by GSA) and
The Index of Specifications and Standards
(published by the Department of Defense) or their electronic equivalent. Both of
these indexes are available for consultation in the Government Documents and
Information
Center
There are four basic categories of Federal standardization
documents:
- Federal specifications describe essential and
technical requirements for items, materials, or services bought by the
Federal government.
- Federal standards serve a variety of purposes
and provide standard data for reference in Federal specifications.
- Commercial item descriptions are simplified
specifications intended to be used in the acquisition of products available
in the commercial marketplace.
- Qualified products lists are lists of
products, by plant, which have been tested for conformance with the
appropriate specification requirements.
Federal standardization documents are available either as a
subscription or on an ad hoc basis as needed. Businesses may obtain such
documents from the following address: General Services Administration, Federal
Supply Service, Bureau Specifications Section (3FBP-W), Suite 8100 470 L'Enfant
Plaza, SW Washington, DC 20407 Telephone: (202) 755-0325 or 0326.
Unrestricted and unclassified military
specifications and standards may be obtained by request from the following:

Avenue, Bldg. 4D Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094 Telephone: (215) 697-2179 or 2667.

Besides the U.S. Federal government, standards
are issued by industry and international organizations, including the
International Organization for Standardization and the American National
Standards Institute. Each of these organizations provide online a catalog of
standardization documents which are available for purchase.
The National Standards System Network provides a
link to other standards information.
