Voluntary standards can encourage self-regulation.Mandatory standards are referenced in legislation
Harmonised standards can neutralise cross border bottlenecks – SADC, SADC/EAC/COMESAFacilitates market access allowing for smaller countries to benefit from economies of scaleEncourages investment by reducing the chances of failure
