safety standard

Mandated protection level

A safety standard is an established requirement or guideline specifying minimum conditions for protecting people from harm.

Industries, governments, and organizations set safety standards for everything from building codes to food handling to workplace equipment: The factory failed to meet basic safety standards.

Products may be recalled for not meeting safety standards, and workplaces inspected for compliance.
