standardisation
Establishing common norms
Standardisation is the British spelling of standardization—the process of establishing uniform criteria, methods, or specifications.
Industries pursue standardisation to ensure compatibility: The standardisation of shipping containers revolutionized global trade.
The word implies bringing diverse practices into conformity with an agreed-upon norm.
