Oct 14, World Standards Day


Today is the 38th World Standards Day. World Standards Day is celebrated each year on 14 October to pay tribute to the efforts of thousands of experts worldwide who collaborate within IEC, ISO and ITU to develop voluntary International Standards that facilitate trade, spread knowledge and disseminate technological advances.

To mark the annual World Standards Day, the European Commission will hold a one-day conference on 17th October 2007 with the theme «Standards and the citizen: contributing to society». The event will focus on how standards benefit society as a whole for example by supporting consumer protection and accessibility for all. Speakers will include policy-makers, standardisers, representatives of consumer associations and other NGOs.

U.S.A. Celebration of World Standards Day 2007 will be on Oct, 18.

Well, I think it is not good to celebrate World Standards Day in different dates... Where is the standardization?
