Applying a standard means promoting safety, quality of life and environmental conservation by regulating products, processes and services; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the economic system, unifying products, performance levels, test and control methods; promoting international trade, harmonizing standards and controls of products and services; facilitating communication, unifying terminology, symbols, codes and interfaces; and safeguarding the interests of the consumer and the community." (The Rules of the Game - Ed. UNI).
A standard is a document that prescribes how correct execution must be performed with guaranteed safety and reliable performance.
The standard (product specification) is the instrument that provides the guidelines obtained from the application of one or more regulations for the purpose of guaranteeing a product’s functionality.
