A reminder about the killer argument for
standards – the rationale that, even without the rest of the standards benefits
list, makes using standards a no-brainer: Standards save time. For example:
“FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological
Health (CDRH) encourages manufacturers to use data
and terminology standards in pre-market submissions and post-market reports
for medical devices, explaining how product review occurs more quickly when
manufacturers use the CDRH published standards. Standardized electronic
applications have increased data quality and timeliness and contributed to
reductions in total CDRH review time and approval backlogs.”
Yes, standards are the grease that speeds up business of all kinds. Standards eliminate ambiguity. Standards enable comparison. Standards facilitate decisions. Government CIO
