History
The Versailles project on advanced materials and standards (VAMAS) was founded at the 1982 G7 Economic Summit. VAMAS support pre-standards research by providing the technical basis for measurements, testing, specifications, and standards. Using interlaboratory studies, this will lead to new improved test procedures, refence materials and data, or algorithms and software with the researchers being drawn from VAMAS and non-VAMAS countries. Results of these activities are submitted to ISO, Regional or National Standards bodies. VAMAS founding countries are (1982-1983): Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA, EC. Some countries enjoined later in 2007-2008: Brazil, Mexico,Technical Work Areas
