What is a Standard?

• “An agreed way of doing something”

• Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise

in their subject matter and who know the needs of the

organizations they represent – people such as

manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade

associations, users or regulators.

• Standards are knowledge. They are powerful tools that can

help drive innovation and increase productivity. They can

make organizations more successful and people’s

everyday lives easier, safer and healthier.
