standardization organizations

Standardization organizations are groups that develop and maintain technical guidelines and standards to ensure products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and compatible. They create universally accepted rules that help different manufacturers, industries, and countries work together smoothly. For example, they set specifications for electrical outlets, measurement units, or data formats. These organizations promote consistency, quality, and safety across various sectors, making it easier for consumers and businesses to interact globally. Examples include the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
