World Standards Day 2022 – standards are here to stay

World Standards Day is celebrated every year on 14 October. That's because seventy-five years ago today, delegates from 25 countries gathered in London and resolved to establish an international organisation dedicated to standardisation. This marked the beginning of global standardisation. The goal of the new organisation was to streamline coordination and harmonise the standards developed by its member organisations. Standards have now become firmly established in today's world and in the modern economy, even if consumers are not always aware of them. They can be found nearly everywhere, ticking along in the background.

In our detailed article «Standards are here to stay», you can find out what role the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) plays in the international standards process and what importance is ascribed to standards. We would be happy to provide you with the article if you let us know of your interest.
