This independent report gives advice on how to use standards to meet policy goals. It says standards should be easy to update and work well between locations like Australia and New Zealand. And standards should match what is widely available overseas where practical. This can help people get safer, cheaper, and better products faster.

Note: Chapter 6 of this report mentions 3 standards mapping projects. The author finalised this report before Standards Australia finished those 3 projects. You can read the final versions of those project reports on the Standards Australia’s website.
