We partner with national governments, local jurisdictions, standards bodies, and regional organizations to provide access to our model codes and standards, conformity assessment, training, certification, and advisory services to build capacity and facilitate the development of safe, sustainable and resilient communities around the world.

As proud strategic partners of the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration, we actively support the various US Government initiatives that enable harmonization, reduce technical barriers to trade, and open markets to US manufacturers and service providers in the design and construction industry.
