Find Engineering Standards
An engineering standard is an established norm or requirement, typically in the form of a formal document that sets out uniform technical criteria, methods, and processes. These standards are developed by professional committees and are based on what is considered good engineering practices. They govern everything from the design of simple screw threads to the complexities of information technology networks.
Standards ensure that products and systems work safely and effectively, no matter where they are made or used.
