For 40 years we have been a leader in developing standards for products, processes, and services across a wide array of industry sectors. Our standards range from proprietary supply chain specifications to public international, multi-stakeholder consensus standards. They can be single-attribute or multi-attribute in scope, covering selected aspects or entire life-cycles.
