Overview
We encounter standards every day. Almost every product and many of the services that we use are standardized. Standards influence our lives and make things easier without our even realizing it. For example, they ensure that toothpaste doesn’t scratch against our teeth like an abrasive cleaner, that your barbecue items don’t fall through the gaps and that children's playgrounds are safe places. Would you like to find out more about these "guardian angels" of our everyday lives? This e-learning course gives you initial insights into the world of standardization by way of a practical guide. A mere 20 minutes is all it takes to gain a concise understanding of standards.
