standards bodies

Standards bodies are organizations that develop and maintain guidelines and rules to ensure products, services, and systems meet consistent quality, safety, and interoperability criteria. They bring together industry experts, companies, and regulators to agree on best practices, which helps products work smoothly together and reduces risks. Examples include IEEE, ISO, and ANSI. Their work makes it easier for consumers to trust products and for companies to innovate confidently, knowing they’re following widely accepted standards.
