Standards connect the world

摘要

From the simple to the complex, from the minute to Hi the massive, from the local to the global, international standards are omnipresent in products and services and in the components of the global supply chains for which they provide the backbone. The international standardization system that comprises ISO, IEC and ITU transforms qualities like efficiency, effectiveness, economy, quality, ecology, safety, reliability, compatibility and interoperability into concrete characteristics of products and services for implementation in their manufacture, supply or utilization. The three organizations thus develop workable solutions to technical and economic challenges faced by business, government and society and publish them as international standards.
