Celebrating World Standards Day 2025

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.
