Industry Codes and Standards

Industry codes and standards are a set of binding guidelines and minimum performance parameters for products and techniques set by a regulatory body. Codes and standards are more common for energy efficiency products and buildings, and are less common for renewable energy technologies, with the exception of safety standards. See also industry and energy efficiency.
