Abstract
This article compares the main characteristics of the primary Cs-beam time and frequency standard CS1 in PTB with corresponding standards at the NBS (USA) and NRC (Canada). Some unnormal changes in the performance of CS1 during the last year are reported. The concept of new standards at PTB is outlined.
