The term standardization has been defined by the international standards organisation (iso) as a process of formulating and applying rules for an orderly approach to a specific activity for the benefit and with the cooperation of all concerned and in particular, for the promotion of optimum overall economy taking due account of functional conditions and safety requirements.

Synthesising the foregoing, standardisation is the application of required rules in the process of production while maintaining the normal product standards to ensure that goods produced and placed in the market are of good quality and safe for consumption.

The Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is the sole statutory body that is vested with the responsibility of standardising and regulating the quality of all products in Nigeria. SON was established by the Act No.56 of 1971.
