The Role Standards Play in Machine Manufacturing

OEM magazine

Aug. 8, 2025

The bottom line is essential for OEMs to stay in business, but manufacturing standards are just as crucial. Standards provide a common ground for best practices related to machine safety and functionality, and they illuminate a path to achieve uniformity across major markets.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s “The Impact of Global and Local Standards on OEMs & Suppliers,” a white paper that discusses why standards are important to machinery builders, what core standards are relevant to packaging and processing, how to determine what standard(s) to follow, and what is currently happening with standards. The report also includes a list of links to standards, documents, and resources that PMMI offers to its members.
