I was talking with a friend who is also a standards professional about the challenges of explaining to people what standards are.  He mentioned that he always uses elevator standards, since most people are very familiar with using elevators.  The point he makes to people is that it's the standards that provide us with the confidence to use these conveyance methods.  

And it's true -- in every field, every manufacturing business, every business sector, there are standards that underpin the safety and functionality of the products and services provided.  No matter what your business, use Document Center as your source for standards.  Our expert staff will help you identify and maintain the standards you need for the business you're in.  We're your Standards Experts.
