General benefits of specifications:

• Increase production efficiency
• Improve production quality
• Reduce costs
• Conserve materials and resources

The purpose of adopting international standards:

• Helping to liberalize trade and enter new markets by harmonizing local and international standards.
• Ensuring the development of internationally agreed-upon technical specifications, as those involved in preparing international standards at the International Standards Foundation represent expertise and competence in the field of standardization from around the world.
• The fact that international standards are internationally agreed upon by all member countries participating in preparing and commenting on them encourages innovation, improvement, and competition to ensure product quality.
• Reducing the cost of producing and preparing standards, which sometimes requires extensive scientific research and expertise unavailable locally.
• Protecting consumers from imported goods that do not conform to specifications.
