Standardization

What is standardization?

Standardization serves as a fundamental pillar for the economic progress of society, aligning with scientific and technological advancements.

The purpose of standardization is to establish universally applicable provisions, addressing current and potential challenges, to ensure optimal organization within specific domains.

The principles of standardization encompass the following:

  • Transparency, accessibility to the general public, and specificity: Standards should be easily understood and available to all, promoting clarity and practicality.
  • Public benefit, modernity, and economic efficiency: Standards should serve the common good, incorporating modern practices while promoting economic efficiency.
  • Voluntary participation: Involvement in standardization activities and adherence to standards should be voluntary, providing freedom of choice.
  • Alignment with international and regional standardization principles: Standards should adhere to internationally and regionally recognized principles of standardization.
  • Equal participation of stakeholders: Interested parties should have an equal and fair opportunity to contribute to standardization activities, and decisions should be based on consensus.
