Eng. Standards define quality and minimum requirements and provide
recognized solutions for the protection of consumers, health, safety and

Eng. Standards provide clarity about the properties of a product and are
considered to be clear and recognized rules of technology. In contracts,
reference to Eng. Standards increases legal certainty. Moreover, it is be-
coming increasingly common to refer to national, European or interna-
tional Eng. Standards in laws, ordinances and regulations in order to
adapt them to the latest state of technical development.
