The NATO Standardization Agency joins the international standardization community in celebrating the World Standards Day. Joint standards make a key contribution to combined operational effectiveness of the Alliance’s multinational forces.
The day highlights the importance of standards-related activities and pays tribute to the collaborative efforts to develop and maintain this important contribution to reach interoperability of the Alliance and Partners forces.
Ultimately, the goal of World Standards Day is to raise awareness of the importance of standardization to meet the needs of all business, industry, government, and consumers worldwide. World Standards Day also pays tribute to the thousands of volunteers around the world who participate in standardization activities.
The World Standards Day has expanded to include its celebration by members of ISO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
