Abstract
Standards provide a way of establishing principles for delivering the new products, services and solutions required to meet the future needs and preferences of ageing societies. The work of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 314 Ageing Societies recognises that different lenses need to be applied to the global issues of ageing and the benefits of standardisation. This chapter will discuss the initiation of the ageing societies standardisation work and the targets and achievements of this work, and it will explore the various work packages being undertaken.
