Instrumental standards are typically developed through a collaborative process involving academia, industry, and standardization bodies:
Research and Validation: Initial research is conducted to identify the most reliable and reproducible methods. These methods are then validated through inter-laboratory studies. Consensus Building: Stakeholders, including researchers and industry experts, come together to reach a consensus on the best practices and methods. Publication: The agreed-upon standards are then published by standardization organizations such as ASTM International or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
