Over 40 new standards to be developed for new tech, business processes

Singapore

THE Singapore Standards Council (SSC) will in the coming months develop more than 40 new standards for nascent technologies and business processes such as additive manufacturing and video analytics, in its push to keep pace with economic transformation and new technologies.

Enterprise Singapore (ESG), which oversees the execution of the Singapore Standardisation Programme led by the SSC, said the council will rope in more experts in these emerging fields to lead and support the development of these standards over the next year. This will be important especially for nascent areas "where greater collaboration and discussion are crucial to identify the new and unaddressed needs for standards development", said ESG.
