regulatory and standards bodies

Regulatory and standards bodies are organizations that establish rules and guidelines to ensure safety, quality, and fairness in various industries. They create standards for products and services, helping to protect consumers and facilitate trade. For example, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets global standards, while government agencies, like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regulate specific sectors such as food and medicine. By enforcing these standards, these bodies help maintain public trust and promote consistency, ensuring that companies meet specific requirements for their operations and offerings.
