Abstract
Having not been recognized as an academic discipline yet, the number of lectures and academic programs in standardization increases day by day. Available lectures and programs are insufficient to provide required knowledge and human resources for development, implementation and management of standards. Organizations that aim to provide their customers with high-quality goods and services need production of scientific knowledge of standardization and its transfer into their daily activities. Even so, educational programs with purpose of qualifying people to produce and transfer knowledge of standardization to products are scarcely available. This article discusses solutions for academy of standardization by taking into account requirements and applications of education about standards and standardization. The discussion concludes that educational programs involving theoretical and practical courses in standardization contribute to development of knowledge and human resources.
Keywords: Academic programs in standardization, applied standard education, courses in standardization, education about standardization, education on standards, lectures on standardization, scientific knowledge of standardization, standard and education, standardization science.
