Codes and Standards Management
Many perfectly developed products have languished and stalled in the area of codes and standards.
This is a highly political arena where competitive interests can effectively stall a product launch by holding up new standards or standard modifications. It is also an arena where a small change in a code or standard could be detrimental to your product, risking its certification altogether. It is critical to know and understand where codes and standards can be modified to accommodate new products and which changes could cause unexpected barriers for existing products.
Jana has an explicit process for managing Codes and Standards that ensures that you have the fastest possible route to market and secures your product in the marketplace through its lifetime. Participation in Codes and Standards activities is paramount to our success. Jana is heavily involved in standards activities at ASTM, ASME, AWWA, CSA, and NSF. In addition, Jana is active at PPI and AGA, keeping a constant pulse on industry regulatory requirements. Because of our dedication to codes and standards activities, Jana can act on your behalf at industry meetings, providing you with a report on standards activities. In addition, Jana can affect changes to existing standards or develop new standards, as required by your business. This can often be done with Jana as the champion, keeping your interests covert and your product development plans confidential.
