    Researchers Professor Andrew Lang and Associate Professor Gregory Messenger studied the ecosystem of standardisation and found:

    • Quality and trust drive the integration of a standard into national regulatory landscapes.

    • Collaboration is key for a standard's success in regulation; conditions vary by sector.

    • National Standards Bodies should engage with other rule-setters to develop high-quality standards.

    • In emerging areas like net zero, National Standards Bodies can utilise their technical expertise.

    • Economic framing is crucial as regulatory levers shift incentives towards high integrity standards.
