As global trade intensifies in our ever shrinking world, there is more than ever a need to agree upon universal standards. Not only to make everybody’s life easier, but also to avoid an awful lot of waste.

Just imagine how much we could save
if there was only one kind of domestic electric plug,
if we all drove on the same side of the road,
if we all used the same system of measurement,
if sizes of clothes and shoes were the same all over the world, etc.

This website not only wants to raise awareness of the problems and waste different standards cause, but it is also a passionate plea for more standardisation. Let's help make life simpler, and try to make our limited resources go further.

I sincerely hope that this website will be a fascinating source of information for everyone who is interested in the subject of standards and cultural idiosyncrasies.
