Strengthening standards

Description

Strengthening standards involves developing, updating, and enforcing clear, consistent criteria across industries, sectors, or practices to ensure quality, safety, and accountability. This strategy addresses problems such as substandard products, unsafe procedures, and regulatory gaps by establishing benchmarks, promoting compliance, and facilitating monitoring. Its practical intent is to protect public welfare, enhance trust, and support fair competition by remedying inconsistencies and raising performance to agreed-upon levels through effective standard-setting and implementation mechanisms.
