Transcript of Region 5 sa in a nutshell
Standards
• What is a standard?• A standard is a document, established by consensus that
provides rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results.
• Why are standards important?• Standards play an important role in everyday life. They may
establish size or shape or capacity of a product, process or system. They can specify performance of products or personnel. They also can define terms so that there is no misunderstanding among those using the standard.
