When products and services meet our expectations, we usually take this for granted and are unaware of the role standards have played in the production process. It becomes all too apparent though when standards are absent; we soon notice the poor quality. Standards aide us to produce with quality so goods do fit, are compatible with equipment that we already have, and are reliable and not dangerous.
To aide the general public in understanding the benefits of complying with Australian and international standards and the use of industry accepted guidelines, BetaTek has dedicated this section to providing links to the official sites of the standards and guidelines providers.
BetaTek believes that access to educational material of standards and guidelines greatly improves the implementation of accepted practices that saves money and time throughout the life of a project. We encourage you to invest your time to better understand how complying with standards can benefit you.
From Standards Australia: "...[standards] documents are practical and don't set impossible goals. They are based on sound industrial, scientific and consumer experience and are constantly reviewed to ensure they keep pace with new technologies."

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on their site say they develop interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential.
From the W3C site: "W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines. Since 1994, W3C has published more than 110 such standards, called W3C Recommendations. W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software, and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web. In order for the Web to reach its full potential, the most fundamental Web technologies must be compatible with one another and allow any hardware and software used to access the Web to work together. W3C refers to this goal as "Web interoperability." By publishing open (non-proprietary) standards for Web languages and protocols, W3C seeks to avoid market fragmentation and thus Web fragmentation." |

A non-profit organization, IEEE is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology.
The IEEE says "[That its] core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity".
As the world's leading standard developer, the IEEE is also a leading source of information and resources on standards, their applications, and their impact on designing new products, processes, and services.
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a leading developer of industry standards in a broad-range of industries. Globally recognized, the IEEE-SA has strategic relationships with the IEC, ISO, and the ITU and satisfies all SDO requirements set by the World Trade Organization, offering more paths to international standardization.
