Standards are documented agreements containing specifications or criteria to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose. They are developed by national and international bodies (e.g., ISO, WHO).
In humanitarian aid, standards ensure pharmaceuticals meet safety requirements, medical supplies are reliable, and aid delivery follows best practices. In AI governance, standards guide transparency and safety reporting.
