World Standard Day 2016
World Standards Day: celebrating trust
Each year on October 14th, the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union) members celebrate the World Standards Day and the collaborative efforts of thousands of experts worldwide who develop the voluntary technical agreements, published as international standards.
Standards connect us with reliable modes of communication, codes of practice and trusted frameworks for cooperation.
