Manufacturing standards are established guidelines that ensure products are made consistently and safely. These standards cover various aspects, including materials, processes, and quality control. They help manufacturers produce items that meet specific requirements, ensuring reliability and performance. Organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) develop these standards. By adhering to manufacturing standards, companies can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction. Compliance with these standards is often necessary for regulatory approval and market access.
