Public information [[symbol]]s (e.g. [[hazard symbol]]s), especially when related to safety, are often standardized, sometimes [[International standard|on the international level]].<ref name="10.1007/978-3-319-60582-1">{{cite book |title=Advances in Ergonomics in Design: Proceedings of the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, July 17−21, 2017, The Westin Bonaventure Hotel, Los Angeles, California, USA |series=Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing |date=2018 |volume=588 |doi=10.1007/978-3-319-60582-1|isbn=978-3-319-60581-4 |last1=Rebelo |first1=Francisco |last2=Soares |first2=Marcelo }}</ref>

Standardization is also used to ensure safe design and operation of laboratories and similar potentially dangerous workplaces, e.g. to ensure [[biosafety level]]s.<ref>{{cite web |title=LABORATORY BIOSAFETY MANUAL |url=https://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/biosafety/Labbiosafety.pdf |publisher=WHO |access-date=28 October 2021}}</ref> There is research into microbiology safety standards used in clinical and research laboratories.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Emmert |first1=Elizabeth A.

====Defense====
In the context of defense, standardization has been defined by [[NATO]] as ''The development and implementation of concepts, doctrines, procedures and designs to achieve and maintain the required levels of [[:wikt:compatibility|compatibility]], [[interchangeable parts|interchangeability]] or [[commonality]] in the operational, procedural, material, technical and administrative fields to attain interoperability.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thebolingroup.com/procurementpower/presentations/Moreno_JuanA.pdf|page=11|title=Interoperability and Standardization within NATO|date=8 April 2009|last=Moreno|first=Juan A.|access-date=23 January 2014|work=NATO Standards Agency|publisher=thebolingroup.com|archive-date=2 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202194852/http://www.thebolingroup.com/procurementpower/presentations/Moreno_JuanA.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
