Standardisation in any industry focuses on the need to continually meet set benchmarks for safety, quality and performance in all areas of an organisation. Creating set guidelines and requirements for certain processes can allow an organisation to improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and meet industry best practices.
Terminology and vocabularies are essential for any industry to understand a set definition or explanation of specific terms. Documentation is also important, with Standards assisting with proper use of documents for many reasons, including part references, part lists, data fields in documents, different document types and overall management of documents.
