International Standard Progress

Attendees of the RIC-RIT World Remanufacturing Conference participated in an interactive feedback session regarding the industry’s interest in pursuing an international standard. The consensus of participants was that the pursuit is of interest to the industry. RIC collected valuable feedback from conference attendees that will help drive the next steps in the standards development process.

RIC was notified that there was not sufficient consensus among U.S. constituents for ANSI to approve the proposal for an ISO Standard. RIC is reviewing the feedback received from ANSI to determine the best path forward.

ANSI announced the public comment period for the proposal to develop an international standard for remanufacturing.

The completed proposal for development of an international remanufacturing standard was submitted to ANSI for approval.

RIC’s Trade & Policy Committee has begun to draft a proposal for the development of an international remanufacturing standard.
