hi,
What 'international standardization' means,
When the large majority of products or services in a
particular business or industry sector conform to
International Standards, a state of industry-wide
standardization can be said to exist. This is achieved
through consensus agreements between national delegations
representing all the economic stakeholders concerned -
suppliers, users, government regulators and other interest
groups, such as consumers. They agree on specifications and
criteria to be applied consistently in the classification
of materials, in the manufacture and supply of products, in
testing and analysis, in terminology and in the provision
of services. In this way, International Standards provide a
reference framework, or a common technological language,
between suppliers and their customers - which facilitates
trade and the transfer of technology.
How ISO standards benefit society
For businesses, the widespread adoption of International
Standards means that suppliers can base the development of
their products and services on specifications that have
wide acceptance in their sectors. This, in turn, means that
businesses using International Standards are increasingly
free to compete on many more markets around the world.
For customers, the worldwide compatibility of technology
which is achieved when products and services are based on
International Standards brings them an increasingly wide
choice of offers, and they also benefit from the effects of
competition among suppliers.
For governments, International Standards provide the
technological and scientific bases underpinning health,
safety and environmental legislation.
For trade officials negotiating the emergence of regional
and global markets, International Standards create "a level
playing field" for all competitors on those markets. The
existence of divergent national or regional standards can
create technical barriers to trade, even when there is
political agreement to do away with restrictive import
quotas and the like. International Standards are the
technical means by which political trade agreements can be
put into practice.
For developing countries, International Standards that
represent an international consensus on the state of the
art constitute an important source of technological know-
how. By defining the characteristics that products and
services will be expected to meet on export markets,
International Standards give developing countries a basis
for making the right decisions when investing their scarce
resources and thus avoid squandering them.
For consumers, conformity of products and services to
International Standards provides assurance about their
quality, safety and reliability.
For everyone, International Standards can contribute to the
quality of life in general by ensuring that the transport,
machinery and tools we use are safe.
For the planet we inhabit, International Standards on air,
water and soil quality, and on emissions of gases and
radiation, can contribute to efforts to preserve the
environment.
