Standards and Recommended Practices
Standards and Recommended Practices are guidelines established by organizations to ensure quality, safety, and consistency across products, services, or processes. Standards are official, often internationally recognized benchmarks that define minimum requirements. Recommended Practices are best-known methods or procedures that help achieve optimal results but are not mandatory. Together, they help organizations operate efficiently, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure customer satisfaction. Following these guidelines promotes uniformity, reduces risks, and supports continuous improvement across industries and sectors.
