Standards

A standard is a printed or digital publication where the specifications and requirements for a product, service or system, for example, are precisely defined. Standardization means the development of best practices and solutions – the common methods, procedures and requirements. Any expert of the field in question may participate in standardization work.

As a Metropolia student or staff member you have access to several databases containing standards. Printed individual standard publications are also available in the library. Their information can be found in MetCat Finna.

SFS Online
