Matching dress requirements

A uniform code is a standardized set of rules or regulations adopted across jurisdictions or organizations to ensure consistency.

The term appears most often in legal contexts: the Uniform Commercial Code governs business transactions across U.S. states, while the Uniform Code of Military Justice applies to all branches of the armed forces.

Most states have adopted some version of the uniform code.
