VAMAS

VAMAS is the Versailles project on advanced materials and standards that aim to establish the scientific foundation for standardised measurements, testing, specifications, and standards through international collaborative projects. VAMAS promotes global trade in goods depending on innovative materials technologies.[1][2]

History

The Versailles project on advanced materials and standards (VAMAS) was founded at the 1982 G7 Economic Summit.[3] VAMAS support pre-standards research by providing the technical basis for measurements, testing, specifications, and standards. [4] Using interlaboratory studies, this will lead to new improved test procedures, refence materials and data, or algorithms and software with the researchers being drawn from VAMAS and non-VAMAS countries. Results of these activities are submitted to ISO, Regional or National Standards bodies.[3][5][6][7][8]

VAMAS founding countries are (1982-1983): Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA, EC. Some countries enjoined later in 2007-2008: Brazil, Mexico, Chinese Taipei, South Africa, Australia, South Korea, and India. China joined in 2013.

VMAS is supported by leadership in National measurement institutes (NMIs) including National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS),[9] National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) [10] National Physical laboratory (NPL), The British measurement and testing association (BMTA),[11] International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM),[12] and Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM).[13][14]

VAMAS was linked with IEA in 2002, International Bureau of Weights and Measures (WMRIF) in 2008, BIPM in 2008, IEC in 2014, ISO in 2014, Asia Pacific Metrology Programme (APMP) in 2020. 85 national, regional or international standards, ~50 VAMAS reports, 5 ISO technology trends assessments (TTA), and ~600 publications resulted from VAMAS work.[3][5]

VAMAS members can send up to three representatives to the steering committee which meets annually and consist of three representatives from each member.
