In line with the international theme, SCC's 2014 Awards and World Standards Day Ceremony served to showcase how “standards level the playing field” – for businesses looking to compete and sell throughout the world, and for consumers and governments looking to increase their choice of quality products.
The October 15 afternoon event also included a brief update on SCC’s strategic direction and current operations.
