Abstract: Abstract Standardization is the process of developing and agreeing upon technical standards. The standard is a document that establishes uniform engineering or technical specifications, criteria, methods, processes, or practices. Some standards are mandatory while others are voluntary. Voluntary standards are available if one chooses to use them. Some are de facto standards, meaning a norm or requirement that has an informal but dominant status, whereas others are de jure, meaning formal legal requirements. Formal standards organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization or the American National Standards Institute are independent of the manufacturers of the goods for which they publish standards.
