The norms are technical-legal documents with the following characteristics:

  • They contain technical specifications of voluntary application.
  • They are developed by consensus of the parties concerned:
    • Manufacturers.
    • Administrations.
    • Users and consumers.
    • Research centers and laboratories.
    • Professional Associations and Colleges.
    • Social agents, etc.
  • They are based on the results of experience and technological development.
  • They are approved by a recognized national, regional or international standardization agency.
  • They are available to the public.

The standards offer a common language for communication between companies, public administration, users and consumers. The rules establish a socioeconomic balance between the different agents that participate in commercial transactions, the basis of any market economy, and are a necessary pattern of trust between client and supplier.

Types of rules

There are three types of rules:

  • Morales rules.
  • Technical standards.
  • Legal standards.

A de facto standard can be defined as a technical specification that has been developed by one or more companies and has become important due to market conditions. It is often used to refer to customary rules.

A de jure standard can be defined, in general, as a technical specification approved by a recognized standardization body for its application on a repeated or continuous basis, without said standard being of compliance mandatory (GATT and definitions of EEC directives 83/189). Rules are institutions.
