Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

According to the United States Department of Energy (DOE)), non-government standards (NGS) are a standardization document (also known as voluntary, consensus, and industry standards) developed by a private sector association, organization, industry association, or technical society which plans, develops, establishes, or coordinates standards and related documents (DOE, 2003 p.2). In addition to standards that are developed by private organizations, governments also develop and adopt standards. Government standards account for fifty-five percent of United States standards. The largest developer of standards in the United States government is the Department of Defense with over 50,000 standards. Federal Specifications and Standards published by the United States General Services Administration (GSA) are used by federal and state agencies to procure common products and federal test methods are used in many industries.
