You have to learn how to standardize!
Students are tomorrow’s workers. In their future jobs, they will be required to use, or even participate in the drafting of, voluntary standards specific to their sector of activity. So it’s important that, right from school and university, they make the distinction between regulations and patents, and understand the benefits of standardization.
AFNOR offers teachers teaching resources geared to this purpose, including presentations, serious games, videos and testimonials.
Are you a teacher?
Invite your students to discover the world of voluntary standards
and draw your teaching resources from the documents below.
Better still, invite them to follow the development of a standard,
from conception through to publication and public inquiry.

Standardization is a little-known tool for improving a company’s international competitiveness. We need to train the younger generation in this area. This is the mission of the International Federation of Standards Users (IFAN), represented in France by ACANOR.
