industry standards
Accepted professional practices
Industry standards are the accepted norms, specifications, or practices that most businesses in a field follow.
Some are formal—published by organizations like ISO or IEEE—while others emerge informally as best practices.
Meeting industry standards signals competence and compatibility: The product exceeds industry standards for safety.
Falling short invites criticism or liability.
