“The Alchemists Laboratory” 1625 | Heinrich Khunrath
The size of the U.S. Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) industry is approximately $48.19 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to about $60.06 billion by 2032. The industry is driven by factors such as increasing government regulatory action, consumer awareness about safety, and the rising need for quality assurance in various sectors like automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, municipal and campus building construction. TIC standards are found in design guidelines, construction contracts, building commissioning and acceptance.
Today we focus on the public commenting facilities of the dominant standards developers relevant to our work:
ASTM International
Intertek
International Electrical Testing Association (Portage, Michigan)
NSF International (Ann Arbor, Michigan)
Underwriters Laboratories
Each of the foregoing organizations have global affiliates such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, and TÜV SÜD which we cover in a separate session at some point in the future. We deal with electrotechnical TIC standards in any of our electrotechnology-oriented sessions every Tuesday.
