Importance of Global Standards
Global Standards essential in a complex world Standards make things easier Essential for international communications and
global trade Drive competitiveness, for individual businesses
and world economy Help organizations with their efficiency,
effectiveness, responsiveness and innovation Lower prices and increase availability by
reducing technical barriers and promoting compatibility between systems and networks
Manufacturers, network operators and consumers benefit

Standards proven economic tool
WTO trade report 2005 British Standards Institute (BSI): standards
make annual contribution GBP 2.5 billion German standards body (DIN): economic
benefits standardization about 1% GDP Canada: 17 % of labour productivity increase
and nine per cent of growth of GDP 1981-2004 Standards have a significant effect on limiting
the undesirable outcomes of market failure The work of ITU has smoothed the more
economical introduction of new technologies

IoT Global Standards Initiative
• IoT: not a single technology, but a wide-ranging concept
• Huge variety of applications in specific sectors, in addition to cross-sector applications
• Regional differences, e.g., in the use of frequency bands for RFID
• Only global standards can enable the use of interoperable technologies across different suppliers, industries and countries
