Minimum Standards

Minimum standards are the basic levels of quality, safety, or performance that must be met in a particular area, such as workplaces, products, or services. They ensure consistency, protect people's well-being, and help maintain fairness by setting a clear baseline that everyone is expected to follow. Meeting these standards indicates that a certain acceptable level has been reached, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the best or most advanced option. They serve as foundational requirements to ensure environments and offerings are safe, functional, and reliable for everyone involved.
