World Standards Day is observed every year on 14 October to honor the standards-development organizations, chiefly ISO, IEC and ITU, and to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers of the importance of standardization to the global economy. The date marks the anniversary of a 1946 meeting in London, where delegates from 25 countries agreed to found an international organization to coordinate standardization, a year before ISO itself was formally established.
