There has been a strategic purpose to international standardizing activity. This article claims that international standardizing activity has become strategic for specific regions, especially Europe. The original purpose of International Standardizing activity was to smooth the flow of international trade. Its major players are the International Standardizing Organization (ISO) and the International Electric Standardizing Committee (IEC); the regulations in the GATT Standard Code for making standards constitute a new input in this area of activity. The author presents the ISO 9000 series - a standard for quality control - and the Environment Controlling Standard - a standard for controlling companies' activities affecting the environment. These are examples of new international standardizing activities, which differ from conventional ones in that they are the standards of companies' activities and in that the approval systems based on these standards are supposed. After pointing out that the Committee for European Norms (CEN) and the Committee for European Norms for Electricity (CENELEC) make standards in order to break technological barriers and enhance industrial competitiveness, the author suggests that Japan should make three times as many contributions as it makes now and not only financially but also substantially. Further, it should strengthen communication in this area of activity with the rest of the industrialized world, should particularly collaborate with Asia-Pacific countries to develop standards thereby preventing Europe's monopoly of this activity, and should strengthen the Pacific Area Standardizing Committee (PASC).
