NPES and You: Writing the “Rules of Engagement”

It’s much easier to get ahead when you know “the rules.” It’s even better when you can write them!   

Every year, perceptive competitors gain an advantage when they help write “the rules” that become International Standards for industry. These global guidelines are essential to ensure the quality, safety, and reliability that contribute to bottom-line cost savings, and optimized return on investment. 

Standards build confidence in the quality and safety of traded products with compliance to specific requirements. Conformance to standards levels the playing field, protects consumers from harmful practices, and enables all enterprises to compete internationally.  Plus, standards support sustainable economic growth, promote good regulatory practice, and open international trade by reducing technical barriers.
