"The digital transformation program, outlined to Standards Australia members at a meeting on Friday, is a central plank in modernising the organisation and shifting it from being a paper-based business to one with a central, searchable digital content repository. It will give Standards Australia much greater clout in future negotiations over the rights to the standards and rules for hundreds of industries across Australia such as plumbing, food safety and electrical wiring.
