Singapore to develop over 40 new standards for drones, additive manufacturing, video analytics

MORE than 40 new standards for nascent areas including drones, additive manufacturing and video analytics will be developed over the next year, as the Singapore Standards Council steps up its standardisation efforts to keep pace with economic transformation and novel technologies, it said on Monday morning.

Enterprise Singapore , which oversees the execution of the Singapore Standardisation Programme led by the SSC, said it will also increase industry collaboration by getting more new industry experts to lead and support the development of these new standards. 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.

SSC will also strengthen its participation in international fora, to continue advancing Singapore's interest in standards. It currently participates in technical committees developing international standards in areas like blockchain, artificial intelligence, circular economy and smart manufacturing. Said Choy Sauw Kook, ESG's director-general, quality & excellence:"It is important for Singapore to deepen its involvement in the global conversation on standards to ensure that our industries contribute to the development of new international standards and meet requirements as they are launched."
