World Standards Day – 14 OctoberEvery year, 14 October is celebrated as World Standards Day. It was first celebrated in 1970.

World Standards Day aims to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy.

This year's theme is 'Video standards create a global stage'.

The innovation of recent decades has driven a huge leap forward in video quality.
 	Video has also become more accessible, helping people worldwide to share their stories in vivid, moving pictures.
 	These gains in both the sophistication and accessibility of video are built on International Standards.
 	Having standards recognized and respected all over the world means that video encoded on one device can be decoded by another, regardless of the device being used.
