• c. 80–70 BC – c. 15 BC Marcus Vitruvius Pollio ‘The first engineer’
• 1215 Magna Carta Clause 35 established consistent measures

Impact of Standardisation
UK – standards make annual
contribution of £2.5bn to economy
Germany – economic benefits of standardization represents 1% of
GDP
Canada – 9% of economic growth
attributed to standards, 1981-
2004
Australia – Standards in
electrical and water industries
contribute AUD 1.9bn to economy
Global – MPEG-2 digital standard
created USD 2.5tr worth of business
Global – international
crane maintenance
standards have saved USD 3bn
