Standards in transition

Since the end of the 1980s, associations and institutes have been trying to achieve a smooth transition from the German DIN standard to European and international standards, the objective being to take account of the increasing globalisation of markets and the European internal market. This reform, however, is making it more difficult to deal with large numbers of articles, above all in the transitional phase – and not least because of the length of that phase.

Lederer is nevertheless supporting the standardization trends and taking them into consideration when it designs its product range. The best example of this is the classification by standards in this catalogue.

The supplementary explanations necessitated by the changeover in standards are presented in detail on the following pages.
