Mechanical systems and components for general use
Mechanical systems and their components form the basis of equipment, machines and apparatus needed across many industries including aerospace, automotive and medical device industries. From components such as fasteners, hinges and bearings to lubrication systems and specific design processes all play an important part in producing a safe and reliable product or service.
Standards provide the information needed to guide businesses in their processes and practices to assist with the reliability, durability, safety and quality of mechanical systems.
