Standards Organization

A standards organization is a group that develops and maintains guidelines, rules, and specifications to ensure products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and compatible. These organizations bring together experts from various fields to agree on best practices, helping to promote quality, facilitate trade, and protect consumers. Think of them as consensus builders that create common benchmarks so different manufacturers and providers can produce compatible and consistent offerings, making everyday life safer and more efficient. Examples include the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
