Where can I find a cross reference to link 303 S.S. or X8CrNiS18-9 to A1?

RE: Stainless Steel
Type 303 stainless steel (UNS designation S30300) is equivalent to the EN grade X8CrNiS 18-9 (Number 1.4305). There are a number of references that are available to show equivalent grades. I recommend the following:
Stahlschlüssel (Key to Steel), 19th Edition
http://www.asminternational.org/Template.cfm?Section=BrowsebyTopic&template=Ecommerce/ProductDisplay.cfm&ProductID=11723
or
Worldwide Guide to Equivalent Irons and Steels, 4th Edition
http://www.asminternational.org/Template.cfm?Section=BrowsebyTopic&template=Ecommerce/ProductDisplay.cfm&ProductID=11476
Page 453 of the 18th Edition of Stahlschlüssel shows a table cross-referencing this grade among the following SDO's: DIN, AFNOR, BS, UNI, JIS, SS, GOST, UNE, and AISI/SAE.
RE: Stainless Steel
Sorry for being too vague with my post. I'm a first timer.
Anyway, we have begun manufacturing (machining)parts for theme park applications. These parts have high liability requirements and must be supplied certified exactly to print. The problem is that the prints are European prints. This particular part requires A1 stainless. I thought that 303 was equivalent but needed a path to verify that link. Since my post I have found more info that may be helpful to someone. ASTM F738M lists A1 as a property class of stainless that allows 303, 304, and a few others. I think this will be sufficient for my certification.
