Sec. 101-29.218  Voluntary standards.



    Voluntary standards are established generally by private sector 

bodies and available for use by any person or organization, private or 

governmental. The term includes what are commonly referred to as 

``industry standards'' as well as ``consensus standards,'' but does not 

include professional standards of personal conduct, institutional codes 

of ethics, private standards of individual firms, or standards mandated 

by law such as those contained in the United States Pharmacopeia as 

referenced in 21 U.S.C. 351.
