  • With CPSC in Limbo – Consumers Need to be on Guard

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has had a turbulent year. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Last week CPSC lost its quorum…again. For those of you who may not intimately follow the cloak and dagger politics of the safety world, let me explain why all of this matters...

  • Part of the way there

    NEMA staff do a lot of meetings. A lot of meetings all over the US, sometimes Canada, and sometimes Mexico. Most of the hotels that we hold the meetings at are environmentally conscious. They ask their guests to re-use towels and linens to help them "be green." Unfortunately, they are only...

  • Let’s Map Quest Harmonization

    As with most journeys, there are usually multiple ways to get to the final destination. Shortest route, shortest time, intermediate stop offs. We all get tired of going down the same old road, day after day, week after week and as in some standard development cases, year after year. Too bad there wasn’t...

  • “Off-Center Stage”

    Flattering as it might be for NEMA – in its role as Chairman of the Zero Tariff Coalition -- to be invited to sit on a panel, there remains the reality of getting through the thing, and so it was with last week’s Global Business Dialogue event on India, free trade and World Trade Organization negotiations...

  • Manufacturing a recovery, but still a ways to go

    The manufacturing sector’s rebound has been one of the major linchpins for the broader U.S. economic recovery.

  • Do standards really make a difference?

    Some recent problems in Mammography make it abundantly clear that they do. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) got reports indicating that image quality from a number of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) units was being compromised when their images were displayed on some third-party...

  • CT Proposes Tax Regulation for Voltage Regulation, Rest of World Scratches Head

    In what could potentially be the most confusing double uses of the term "regulation," the Connecticut Senate Energy and Technology Committee advanced a bill last week to provide tax benefits for voltage regulation devices. The concept is sound: air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators run...

  • L-evating the Stakes

    Last week the U.S. Department of Energy announced that it has signed up utilities that service over 70 percent of U.S. electricity consumers. For what, you ask? To support bringing to market and consumers the high-efficiency solid state lighting products that will be identified in the coming months through...

  • Taking Inventory

    With a light week of data releases on tap and no apparent end to bailouts in sight, now is the time to look at under-the-radar indicators that might shed some light on where the economy is headed. Take inventories, for example. As a recession deepens, stockpiled inventories become a widespread problem...

  • When the Bears Ate Goldilocks

    Today's brutal payroll employment report capped one of the toughest weeks for economic data that I can remember, with events ranging from the Dow's expanded dollar menu to skyrocketing mortgage delinquencies . Perhaps one of the more troubling reports to come out this week was the Fed's Beige...
