Standards Development Program

The Standards Development Program involves creating and updating technical guidelines or rules that ensure products, services, and processes meet quality, safety, and compatibility requirements. Experts from industry, government, and other stakeholders collaborate to develop these standards through a structured process. Once established, standards help ensure consistency, improve efficiency, and support innovation across different sectors. They are voluntary but often serve as benchmarks that organizations adopt voluntarily or through regulations to enhance performance and safeguard public interests.
