What are standards designed to do? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
ensure safety
B
limit imports
C
offer domestic industries an advantage
D
support domestic industries
E
protect consumers

Explanation

Standards set requirements for the quality, safety, or characteristics of products and services. They can ensure safety and protect consumers by helping products meet reliable requirements, and they can support domestic industries by establishing common rules for producers. Limiting imports or giving domestic industries an advantage are not the general purposes of standards.
