Adopt Standards

Overview

Many businesses – from food manufacturing to construction – of all sizes benefit from standards. Standards help your company to improve the quality of your products and services, reach new customers and markets, improve performance and enhance growth. By meeting standards, your business can also better collaborate with partners, create new products, build trust and stay competitive.

How do you adopt standards in your company?
 

Here is what you need to know when adopting standards:

Step 1: Define your objectives for implementing the standard

Step 2: Identify key processes and systems as laid out in the standard that will help you achieve your objectives

Step 3: Obtain buy-in from top management and employees in committing to the initiative

Step 4: Establish resources required, e.g. personnel, time, infrastructure, finance or grants

How can you defray some of the cost when adopting standards?
 

The Enterprise Development Grant aims to support SMEs to scale up business capabilities and ensure business sustainability. You can take on projects to adopt standards with the grant. It covers up to 70% of qualifying project costs such as consultancy, training, certification and equipment cost.
