World Standards Day

Each year on 14 October, the members of the IEC, ISO and ITU celebrate World Standards Day, which is a means of paying tribute to the collaborative efforts of the thousands of experts worldwide who develop the voluntary technical agreements that are published as international standards.The aim of World Standards Day is to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy.

Today we celebrate the 43rd World Standard Day, under the theme: “Less waste, Better Results - Standards increase efficiency ” Although standardization is very important to nearly all aspects of human activity, ordinary people are still questioning what standardization means to their lives.

One of the most important aspects of standardization is ensuring that products or services are environmentally friendly and safe for humans. For instance, an electronic goods producer must ensure that products from its factory will not harm end users with shocks or dangerous frequencies.

For that reason, national and international standards have an important role in dictating the technical specifications of a product. Furthermore, standardized testing and assessment methods are also important to make sure products meet the necessary specifications.

And also the standardized measurement is very important in national and international society.Measurements are necessary to make everything standard, and every measurement needs a standard.

In conjunction with the World Standard Day, If everybody follows standards and uses proper methods of measurement, dangerous incidents would occur far less frequently.
