National Standards Bodies (NSBs)

National Standards Bodies (NSBs) are organizations within each country responsible for developing, maintaining, and promoting technical standards that ensure products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and compatible. They serve as the official representatives in international standardization activities, facilitating global harmonization. NSBs work with industry experts, government agencies, and other stakeholders to create norms and guidelines that support innovation, quality, and consumer protection. Examples include ANSI in the United States and BSI in the United Kingdom. Their efforts help foster fair trade, technological advancement, and public safety.
