Abstract
This chapter provides detail of standards-related activities for piezoelectric materials—mainly bulk ceramic types. The production of standards, particularly international ones, is a long process. The existence or not of a standard in a particular area is not solely because of the need for such a standard, but is due to the concerted effort of individuals. Documents must be kept current, and may be withdrawn or cancelled if there is nobody prepared to maintain it after publication. There are strong groups for piezoelectric materials standards in Europe (CENELEC) and America (IEEE-UFFC), but some of the most quoted standards have been withdrawn (IEEE 176-1987 [1], IEEE 180-1986, MIL-STD 1376B (SH)). An updated and regularly reviewed set of standards can be found at http://www.piezoinstitute.com.

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) was set up by the Metre Convention and has its headquarters near Paris, France. It is financed jointly by its Member States and operates under the exclusive supervision of the CIPM (a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA) for national measurement standards and for calibration and measurement certificates issued by NMIs). Its mandate is to provide the basis for a single, coherent system of measurements throughout the world, traceable to the International System of Units (SI):
