1/30 Is there a standards association in Taiwan that's similar to ANSI, JSA
and ISO? I'm trying to look up some standards. Thanks.
\_ After China globalizes and dominates all the markets that Taiwan
used to dominate (motherboard, cheap goods, etc), Taiwan the
island will be completely irrelevant and the US government will
no longer give a damn about Taiwan.
\_ I agree, but right now I'm just trying to look up the official
dimensions of the paper sizes 8K and 16K. Supposedly these are
Taiwan paper sizes. I think they are also called 8-Kai and
16-Kai, but I'm not sure. -- OP
\_ Taiwan mosly use US standards. For size of paper, they use
(I think) European standard. A3, A4, B3, B4, etc. the old standard
has became irrelevant due to the fact that most of the paper making
machinaries are imported from abroad.
\_ So are 8K and 16K really Taiwan standards? I'm not even sure.
Thx. -- OP
\_ It's a Chinese expression. The original definition of 8-kai
means a piece of paper is being cutted into eight pieces,
hence, bigger than a paper which is being cutted into 16
pieces (16-kai). Once upon a time there was a standard on
how big a sheet (1-kai) paper is. I am not sure how relevant
it is now. |
