Standardisation plays a very important role in the industrial development of the country. The entire area of standardisation to the actual production plan is to be integrated by Pakistan Standards Institution (PSI). This will require development of provincial test laboratories and primary standards and similar other activities. In order that tests are performed according to accepted standard only the entire activity needs an integral approach. This includes preparation of standards/specifications, harmonisation of specification for variety reduction and rationalisation, providing adequate facilities to local small scale units as well as qualification approval and acceptance testing and evolving a suitable strategy for implementing the standards etc. It is also important to have a data bank for collection and dissemination of data on various aspects of standardization. All the concerned agencies like manufacturers, contractors, R&D laboratories, universities/academic institutions, PSI and major user organisations etc. should feed the data in data bank. The following information of databank can be categorised (i) qualification approval test reports. (2) manufacturers production test reports. (3) Equipment and system failure reports from tests. (4) Manufacturer's component development and application information. (5) Component specifications (nation-al/international and (6) field test and operation reports.
