What is a Standard?
Standard is the benchmark that makes everyday life in an organization work towards a positive outcome. It may, for example, set the parameters for the size, capacity or shape of a product, process or a system. It can assign performance yardsticks for a service.
There is Standard at work-when you take money from any ATM and the way a plug is designed for you to charge your mobile battery.
Standards gives businesses and consumers confidence that the goods and services they are developing or using are safe, reliable and will perform the activity they were designed for.
Adherence to standards goes a long way in enhancing the quality of delivery, improving the competitive edge and in the efficient and competent operation of your business in a global market place.
There are over 1 million global standards in the world today which ensure quality products and services, customer safety, efficient processes and procedures across business verticals, accelerate innovation and result in excellence and positive ROIs.
