      Abstract
          In a world of increasingly rapid political, economic, social and
          technological development, where global trade in surveyors’ services
          is expected, standards have a vital facilitating role to play. This
          was recognised by FIG in the late 1990s, leading to the setting up of
          an FIG Task Force on Standardisation in 1998. The paper outlines the
          progress and plans of the Task Force, setting them in the wider
          context.
