ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we introduce the types of agencies and organisations that provide knowledge, advice, guidance and practical assistance to those involved with equipment management, under a number of topics (see a summary in Table 13.1). We explore some key issues, highlight representative bodies and some of the resources they offer, and indicate where a professional might interact with them or contribute to their work. More information can be found on their websites, which are readily located by using an Internet search engine.
