Today the
international community faces shifting global markets as well as a need to
balance remedies to macro-economic challenges with the urgent call for a
meaningful response to climate change. In this complex environment,
international standards are powerful tools to lead positive change by detailing
specifications that can open up global markets, create enabling business
environments, spur economic growth and help mitigate and adapt to climate
change.
International
standards represent the consensus view of the world’s leading experts in
industry sectors ranging from energy utilities and energy efficiency to
transportation, management systems, climate change, healthcare, safety and
information and communication technology (ICT). Volunteering their knowledge in
service of the public interest, experts in these and many other subjects come
together to create standards that share innovation with all the world’s
countries and so provide business, government and society with a solid platform
for positive change.
Standards support
rapid economic growth in developing countries by outlining best practices that
enable them to avoid "reinventing the wheel". Given the strong
correlation between economic growth and urbanization, standards are becoming
increasingly important in helping cities develop more intelligent and sustainable
infrastructures, making them better places to live.
International
standards are ensuring that products, services and environments become more
accessible to persons with disabilities.
Standards are also
applied as tools to help reduce climate change by improving energy efficiency
and decreasing waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Standards share best
practices in renewable energy generation, provide cutting-edge requirements and
processes for waste disposal and recycling, and tools to enhance efficiency and
environmental sustainability across all industry sectors.
International
standards bodies such as IEC, ISO, and ITU provide cohesion to a myriad of
national and regional standards; thereby harmonizing global best practices,
eliminating technical barriers to trade, and fostering shared socio-economic
advance.
These benefits are
ultimately all passed on to the consumer in the form of greater choice,
increased quality and lower prices.
