Celebrating World Standards Day 2025
**********
Celebrating
World Standards Day is an opportunity to engage with the global standards
community and raise awareness. Here's how individuals, organizations, and
professionals can participate:
- Host
or Join Events - Organize or attend seminars, workshops, conferences,
exhibitions, or webinars on topics like AI standards, sustainability, or public
health. For example, the U.S. Celebration on October 23, 2025, in Rockville,
MD, features discussions on "Standards for Public Health and Safety"
with networking opportunities. In India, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is organizing various awareness programmes in various cities in October 2025.
- Share
Online - Use social media to post about the theme with hashtags like
#WorldStandardsDay, #SharedVisionForABetterWorld, or #SDG17. Download and share
the official campaign poster, or create custom graphics highlighting local
standards impacts.
- Participate
in Contests - Enter the World Standards Cooperation Paper Competition or
similar challenges to showcase innovative uses of standards.
- Educate
and Advocate - Conduct internal training sessions on ISO/IEC/ITU standards,
or collaborate with partners on SDG-aligned projects. Reach out to your
national standards body (e.g., ANSI in the U.S.) for toolkits and resources.
By
getting involved, you can contribute to a collaborative movement that makes the
world safer and more sustainable. For more resources, visit website specially developed
for the World Standards Day. worldstandardsday.org.
World
Standards Day is observed annually on October 14 to honour the collaborative
work of global experts in developing international standards that enhance
safety, quality, innovation, and sustainable development. In 2025, the day
falls on a Wednesday and carries forward a multi-year focus on the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a spotlight on SDG 17:
Partnerships for the Goals.
As an individual effort, I have
initiated a “World Standards Day 2025 Learning Quiz – Join the Fun!” on
Facebook. For details CLICK HERE.
