What are the differences between the standards and norms?

To illustrate, a lab analysis is ISO 68 . .  For this ISO standart, we have two different norms, namely; Turkish norm and French norm. These norms must be same or not?

Not.

A standards organization publishes standards for general use which are optional for a company/country to follow. If the company or country chooses, it can have different requirements for its purpose which can be more tight or more relaxed, suiting its own purpose or it own application (Every standard has an application). These are generally called norms or Internal standards or Company standards or National standards (in case of a country).

Mr. Rao. If norms are changable and have different requirements for company's purpose, it will be different result at the end. For example, i have two different different laboratory norms, namely; Indian norms and French norms. The application of the standarts is a little bit different. Is it normal and why? I want to state that we use indian norms, other company use French norm ( in france) . Results are not same. Which one is applicable in this condition?

We buy some goods from French company. There is a standart name whose name is ISO 68.. in our licance. But we have two different norms of this standards. Which one is applicable in this situation? Is it normal?

The standard should be acceptable to both supplier and customer (user). You can have a dialogue with your other party and arrive at a mutually acceptable norm. If the customer is not satisfied, he will not buy the item.
