On the 14th October we celebrate World Standards Day, the theme this year is 'Standards for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)'.
The SDGs recognize that ending deprivations goes hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve the environment.
International standards are an important tool to achieving the SDGs; they are developed collaboratively via consensus from experts across the globe and support policy objectives via improved productivity and reduced barriers to trade while also protecting consumers and the environment.
