U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day 2007
(Exhibition, Reception and Dinner)
“Standards and the Global Village”
 From
air quality to children’s toys and from alternative sources of energy to
security and privacy on the Internet, standards and conformity assessment
programs have become the tools that bolster social progress and stimulate
worldwide economic development. To acknowledge the significance of standards on
society and the economy, the theme of the U.S. Celebration of World Standards
Day 2007 is “Standards and the Global Village.”
On October 18, 2007, leaders of business, industry, academia and government will
gather in Washington, DC, to join with consumer representatives and experts in
science and technology for a celebration of the relationship between standards
and the well-being of citizens in every corner of the world.
