Did you know that ANSI serves as the participating member for the United States at ISO?

Did you know that ANSI serves as the secretariat (committee manager) for ISO Technical Committee 60 (TC60), covering the subject of Gears?

Did you know that AGMA has been selected by ANSI to be the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for ISO TC60?

Did you know that there are two sub-committees under ISO TC60, SC1 covering Nomenclature and Wormgearing, and SC2 covering Gear Capacity Calculations?

Did you know that the SC1 secretariat is managed by Switzerland (SNV)?

Did you know that the SC2 secretariat is managed by Germany (DIN)?

Did you know that there are currently 14 participating member countries and 22 observing member countries in ISO TC60?

Did you know that AGMA provides a technical expert—a “U.S. Delegate” to each ISO TC60 working group to bring the U.S. position and expertise to the international “table”?

Well, now you DO know! AGMA, and its member companies are busy helping develop, modify, and contribute to the international standards process.  Without the dedication of our U.S. delegates and the shadow technical committees supporting them, the AGMA methods and processes would not be incorporated in these international standards.  See below for a list of our dedicated U.S. delegates and the working groups that they support:
