摘要

The report focuses on important issues that will arise during an effort to offera full-scale Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) conformance testing (CT) service to U.S. industry. The content presented here draws from the Industrial Technology Institute's (ITI's) past conformance testing experience in order to provide a perspective of the real-life problems associated with developing and offering testing services. Thus, to the decision-maker and funding agency considering active participation in STEP CT, the report identifies major issues confronting CT in general, and STEP CT in the United States in particular. It also offers insight into the direction that U.S. activity should proceed.
