Every year, World Standards Day is celebrated globally on October 14 to commemorate the first international agreement on standardization in 1947, which laid the foundation for modern industrial cooperation and a unified system of quality. The day aims to recognize the contributions of experts, institutions, and organizations who develop and implement international standards, making our lives safer, more efficient, and better.

The program will include a panel discussion on the theme “Shared Vision for a Better World,” where representatives from industry and academia will share insights on the modern impact of standardization.

World Standards Day is not just a celebration of standardization achievements—it symbolizes a shared commitment to excellence, safety, and innovation, and to moving toward a better, coordinated, and sustainable future.
