Voluntary Standards

Voluntary standards are guidelines or rules established by organizations or groups to ensure consistency, safety, and quality in products, services, or practices. They are not legally mandated but are often adopted by companies to meet customer expectations and industry best practices. These standards help promote interoperability, reliability, and trust, and can influence regulations or market competitiveness. Since adoption is voluntary, organizations choose to follow them to demonstrate commitment to high standards and improve their reputation without legal obligation.
