Summary
Technical standards developed by nongovernment entities are an integral part of health and safety regulation. These “private” standards – produced by industry associations and standards development organizations – frequently inform health and safety guidance and rules issued by government agencies. In some industries, private health and safety standards are more rigorous than government regulations. Private standards may also be the only source of health and safety norms in the absence of government regulation. In addition, private standards govern an array of consulting, auditing, testing, and certification services, which play an essential role in monitoring and incentivizing standards conformity and regulatory compliance related to health and safety.
