Standardisation is the process of establishing and applying agreed sets of solutions intended for repeated application.
Standardisation thus enables a systematic rather than a disorganised approach to production — enabling economies of scale, and the production of goods that are more clearly understood and therefore more highly valued by end consumers.
Having established national and international standards it is then possible for manufacturers to work to the standards for the period in which the standard is recognised, producing in an ordered way and enabling the producer to benefit from more consistent manufacturing and economies of large scale production where appropriate.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Pork product labelling 'misleading'
British pig producers are calling for the closing of a loophole which they claim allows companies to pass off foreign pork as British.

The Executive, part of the Meat and Livestock Commission, claims this shows that the number of pigs being produced to UK standards in countries importing to Britain is totally inadequate to meet the volume of meat which is in fact being imported.
