technical standards
Engineering compliance rules
Technical standards are documented specifications that establish uniform criteria for products, processes, or practices.
They ensure compatibility and interoperability—USB ports work across devices, electrical outlets accept standard plugs, building codes keep structures safe.
Standards may be set by industry groups, government agencies, or international bodies.
The company's software doesn't meet current technical standards.
