U.S. Millitary and Gov't Standards             Print Page
  
 

Goverment Standards

Unlike industry standards, which are voluntary, most standards developed by various federal and state agencies for procedure, compatibility and manufacture, including the military, are mandatory, especially regarding government contracts and supply.

Standards.Gov offers background on standards and useful links for locating information about the use of standards in government. Their primary focus is on federal agency use of standards for regulatory and procurement purposes
