Today is the World Standards Day. This year’s theme is protecting the planet with standards. Standards cover all aspects of energy savings, water and air quality. They lay down standardized protocols and methods of measurement. Their broad use helps reduce the environmental impact of industrial production and processes, facilitates the reuse of limited resources and improves energy efficiency. We at CertAlarm like to contribute to the protection of the earth by offering certification schemes that guarantee compliance to European product, system, installation and service standards.
