Federal Performance Standards

Federal Performance Standards are established rules set by government agencies to ensure products, services, and workplace practices meet certain quality, safety, and effectiveness criteria. They serve as benchmarks to protect consumers, workers, and the environment by requiring organizations to adhere to specific performance levels. These standards help maintain consistency across industries, ensuring that what is offered federally is safe, reliable, and effective. Compliance with these standards is often mandatory, and failure to meet them can result in regulatory actions or penalties. Essentially, they help guarantee that products and services perform as promised and meet minimum safety and quality expectations.
