Want to know more about standards and conformity assessment? Here’s a good place to start:

Beyond the bottom line: standards impact quality, lead-time, factory flexibility, and supply chain management.		Standardization and conformity assessment activities lead to lower costs by reducing redundancy, minimizing errors, and reducing time to market.		Demonstrating compliance to standards helps your products, services, and personnel to cross borders. Standards also make cross-border interoperability possible, ensuring that products manufactured in one country can be sold and used in another.		Businesses not only reduce the economic risk of their research and development activities by participating in standardization, they can also lower their overall R&D costs by relying on previously standardized technologies and terminologies.
