Hi David Standards Australia performs a somewhat different function in that it does not maintain reference standards or do testing but rather it produces written standards such as for construction of buildings, electrical wiring and food standards. Standards Australia is certainly authoritative in that it is partly supported by a Government grant and has a range of specialist committees with Industry and Government representation and the written standards it produces are often referred to in Federal and State Government legislation and then have the authority of Law. Reference standards are maintained by a range of other bodies but the prime one is the National Measurement Institute.
