World Standards Day 2020: Date, History, Theme and How To Observe

World Standards Day or International Standards Day is an international day celebrated internationally each year on 14 October to raise awareness among regulators, industry, and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy.

World Standards Day: History


14 October is celebrated as the World Standards Day by the members of the IEC, ISO, and ITU to pay tributes to the efforts made by thousands of experts worldwide, who develop the voluntary technical agreements that are published as International Standards.

14 October was specifically chosen to mark the date, in 1946, when delegates from 25 countries first gathered in London and decided to create an international organization focused on facilitating standardization. The first observance took place on October 14th, 1970.

The World Standard Cooperation holds a contest each year to celebrate the day.
