Definition of standardisation in English English dictionary
a method whereby certain marks or grades are agreed to match specific guidelines
{i} act of imposing a standard; act of comparing to a standard, act of checking in accordance with a standard (also standardization)
the imposition of standards or regulations; "a committee was appointed to recommend terminological standardization"
the condition in which a standard has been successfully established; "standardization of nuts and bolts had saved industry millions of dollars"
The development and implementation of concepts, doctrines, procedures and design to achieve and maintain the required levels of compatibility, interchangeability or commonality in the operational, procedural, materiel, technical and administrative field to attain interoperability
the act of checking or adjusting (by comparison with a standard) the accuracy of a measuring instrument; "the thermometer needed calibration"
Standardised evaluations are published for all linear type information It means that the breeding values have been divided by the standard deviation for the traits The result is that all linear traits are published with a range of ± 3 (See Variation)
A common linear transformation often employed to rescale data It may involve subtracting the mean from each score Such transformed scores are called deviation scores, and the transformation itself is called centering, since we are centering the mean at 0 An even more common transformation involves dividing the deviation scores by the standard deviation Such scores are called standard scores, and the process is called standardization
The process of agreeing on a common specification This process can take place at different levels: (1) across an organization; (2) throughout an industry; (3) across a nation and (4) around the world
A consistent set of procedures for designing, administering, and scoring an assessment The purpose of standardization is to assure that all students are assessed under the same conditions so that their scores have the same meaning and are not influenced by differing conditions Standardized procedures are very important when scores will be used to compare individuals or groups
A consistent set of procedures for designing, administering, and scoring an assessment The purpose of standardization is to ensure that all students are assessed under the same conditions so that their scores have the same meaning and are not influenced by differing conditions Standardized procedures are particularly important when scores are to be used to compare individuals or groups
The system of documenting and updating procedures to make sure everyone knows clearly and simply what is expected of them Essential for application of PDCA cycle
The methods used to reduce or eliminate custom, one-time and seldom-used components and processes that introduce variability and potential added costs and quality problems Standardization techniques include rationalizing product line offerings and performing cost studies to determine the true costs associated with designing, documenting, performing, etc a custom or variable process
the absence of variety in a product, process, or service The extent to which all of the products are similar to each other, or the extent to which every customer receives the same service
Systematic standardization and/or determination of a possibly clear order by standards Thus efficient mass production, substitutability of homogeneous products, facilitation of purchase and sale as well as unambiguous communication - nationally and internationally - become possible Standards are accepted engineering rules and generally to be considered as recommendations They are approved solutions for frequently recurring tasks
a process of equalizing electrode potentials in one standardizing solution (buffer) so that potentials developed in unknown solutions can be converted to pH values
is the practice of acquiring parts, components, subsystems, or systems with common design or functional characteristics to obtain economies in ownership costs
The development and implementation of concepts, doctrines, procedures and design to achieve and maintain the required levels of compatibility, interchangeability or commonality in the operational, procedural, materiel, technical and administrative field to attain interoperability The three agreed levels of Standardization are
In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting practices; or on product standards, which detail the attributes of manufactured items and are embodied in formulas, descriptions, drawings, or models. Adoption of standards makes it easier for firms to communicate with their suppliers. Standards are also used within industries to prevent conflict and duplication of effort. Governmental departments, trade associations, and technical associations help to set standards within industries; these are coordinated and promoted by organizations such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
A consistent set of procedures for designing, administering, and scoring an assessment The purpose of standardization is to ensure that all individuals are assessed under the same conditions and are not influenced by different conditions
Raw data may be recorded at different scales, e g height in m and head circumference in mm Inevitably this can result data that have quite different ranges It is possible to remove these scale effects if data are standardised, i e forced to have the same scale There are many ways of achieving this including converting to normal scores (normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1) or scaling to give a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 1
