Group standards are standards formulated by a certain group or organization, such as associations, academic organizations or trade associations. These standards are mainly to meet the needs of members of groups or organizations, so their scope of application is relatively narrow. Industry standards are standards formulated by the state or industry authorities, which have a wide scope of application and can cover the whole industry.
The formulation process of group standards is relatively flexible and can be adjusted and modified according to the needs of members. Industry standards need to go through a series of legal procedures and public discussions, and the formulation process is relatively strict.
Scope of application of group standards and industry standards
The scope of application of group standards mainly lies in industry self-discipline and standardized management, which can help enterprises improve the quality and safety of products and services and promote the healthy development of the industry. For example, the standards of the medical device industry can standardize the research and development, production, sales and use of medical devices and protect the safety and rights of patients.
Industry standards have a wider scope of application, which can be used in quality control, technical specifications, environmental protection, safety management and other aspects of products and services. For example, ISO900 1 quality management system standard is applicable to all types of enterprises and organizations, which can help enterprises improve their management level and product quality.
