The paper deals with the globalisation and internationalisation effect on international standardisation. The findings based on an analysis of academic literature and available government and standard-setters’ documents prove firstly the growing importance of standardisation for international stability, and secondly the growing international standard-setters’ co-operation on the field of standardisation. Due to their mutual trust, the standards’ quality has been significantly upgraded. As a result of research, a preliminary long-term outlook of standardisation was elaborated.
