standardized
Following set rules
Standardized means made uniform according to a standard.
A standardized test uses the same questions and conditions for all test-takers, allowing comparison of results.
Standardized parts are interchangeable because they conform to fixed specifications.
The word often appears in contexts of education, manufacturing, and measurement where consistency matters: standardized procedures, standardized formats.
