standardising
Creating consistent norms
Standardising is the British spelling of standardizing—making things uniform or consistent according to a set standard.
Industries standardise measurements, procedures, or formats so that components work together and processes are predictable: The company is standardising its software across all departments.
Standardising can also mean evaluating something against established criteria.
