Standards
Standards are common in business. Those imposed by government agencies are often called regulations. They include the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, and a multitude of environmental standards.
Standards established internally by a company may extend to personnel matters, such as employee absenteeism and ethical codes of conduct, quality control standards for products, and standard costs for goods and services.
