Title: OECD Compendium of Policy Good Practices for Quality Infrastructure Investment

The compendium also provides a timely guide for developing infrastructure that supports a strong, resilient, inclusive and green recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. It also offers guidance on making infrastructure more resilient to natural disasters and other threats such as pandemics.

This compendium compiles and provides a unique set of existing integrated and multidisciplinary international good practices and measures relevant to policymakers and practitioners in both developed and developing economies to pursue quality infrastructure investment. These good practices promote a shared understanding of the elements needed to support quality infrastructure investments in alignment with the G20 Principles for Quality Infrastructure Investment and in accordance with international standards.

SO 17296-2:2015 describes the process fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing (AM). It also gives an overview of existing process categories, which are not and cannot be exhaustive due to the development of new technologies. ISO 17296-2:2015 explains how different process categories make use of different types of materials to shape a product’s geometry. It also describes which type of material is used in different process categories. Specification of feedstock material and requirements for the parts produced by combinations of different processes and feedstock material will be given in subsequent separate standards and are therefore not covered by ISO 17296-2:2015. ISO 17296-2:2015 describes the overreaching principles of these subsequent standards.

SO 25337:2010 describes a statistical, so-called single-measurement, model for using single measurements for production quality control purposes at a producer’s manufacturing site, even if a standard test method specifies replicate measurements. The statistical model is also applicable to test methods which call for repeated operations. A general approach to the precision statement in test method standards which produce numerical results is also described. The statistical model is only applicable to test methods which give results that follow a normal (i.e. Gaussian) distribution.

Buildings have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment. During their construction, occupancy, renovation, repurposing, and demolition, buildings use energy, water, and raw materials, generate waste, and emit potentially harmful atmospheric emissions. These facts have prompted the creation of green building standards, certifications, and rating systems aimed at mitigating the impact of buildings on the natural environment through sustainable design.
