testing standards

Evaluation criteria set

Testing standards are established criteria and procedures for evaluating quality, performance, or compliance.

In education, they define what students should know at each level and how proficiency is measured: The state adopted new testing standards for third-grade reading.

In manufacturing and engineering, they specify methods for assessing materials or products: The lab follows ISO testing standards.

Standards ensure consistency—different testers following the same standards should reach comparable results.
