Standardisation can be broadly categorised into five levels, with more stakeholders being involved, the further up the hierarchy it goes. Standardisation cut across all sectors. Its basic usage and application are significant at organisation and industry levels. Standards at national, regional and internal level encourage harmonisation, interoperability and interchangeability and facilitate international trade.
