Standards and Codes, although relatively new constructs in their modern forms, can be traced back thousands of years. Standards and codes were, and continue to be, one of the important ways in which humanity communicates. Today, even more so than in the past, standards and codes serve public interests though the development of uniform and harmonized social and economic procedures. Whether in professional or private walks of life, standards and codes are part of the fabric of society and often provide the basis for collaborative practices and provide an important social function. When standards and codes do not exist, are ignore, or are in conflict, the uniformity and harmonization of occupational/consumer safety and quality control procedures are at risk.
