Standardization in the field of machine elements and design

Abstract

This paper presents a study of machine elements and design standardization. The primary objective of the standards is to eliminate discrepancies between subjects and concepts that serve the same function. This paper aims to catalogue the ISO technical committees that operate in these fields. There are 12 technical committees, with 256 published standards, 68 under development, 587 withdrawn projects, and 7 projects that have been deleted as of the publication of this report. In addition to the committee's review, the most essential and widely used standards for general-purpose machine elements, including screw threads, rolling bearings, plain bearings, and gears, are provided.
