restandardization

Updating baseline criteria

Restandardization is the process of establishing new standards or norms for something that was previously standardized.

The term appears most often in testing and measurement contexts, where assessment tools are periodically restandardized to reflect current population data: The IQ test underwent restandardization to account for rising scores.

It also applies to industrial or technical specifications that require updating.
