Federal Standard (FED-STD-101)

By standardizing terminology and labeling methods, FED-STD-101 helps different departments communicate effectively and maintain uniform records, which is crucial for clarity in procurement, technical manuals, and records management. Overall, it facilitates clear, organized, and professional handling of visual information within federal operations.
