develops the voluntary consensus safety standards for the design, construction,
equipage, maintenance and repair of small craft. Often, ABYC is the only
source of standards for many aspects of the marine industry. The development
of uniform standards is the basis for industry-wide comparisons of products
and performance. ABYC is also a principal source for the development of
international standards, by acting as the administrator for a Technical
Advisory Group which writes standards for the marine industry worldwide.
