on a par
At equal standing
On a par means equal in quality, status, or level—neither better nor worse than something else: Her skills are on a par with anyone in the department.
The phrase comes from golf, where par is the expected number of strokes for a hole.
Something on a par with a standard meets but doesn't exceed it.
