Harmonization (standards)

When we want to do something, for example build a house or make a cake, we need to follow some rules and instructions to make sure we do it in the right way. These rules and instructions are called standards - they tell us what to do, how to do it and what materials to use.

Now, imagine you want to build a house with your friends who live in different parts of the world. One friend might use different standards and instructions compared to another friend, which can make it difficult when you all want to work together.

That's where harmonization comes in. It means that all of your friends agree to use the same standards and instructions so that they can work together more easily. Just like when you and your friends agree to play the same game by the same rules, it makes it easier and more fun to play together.

Harmonization is important because it helps avoid confusion and mistakes. Everyone understands what needs to be done, and they can all work together to achieve the same goal. It can also save time and money because everyone uses the same materials and methods, which means they can buy everything in bulk and get better prices.

In summary, harmonization is like agreeing to play the same game by the same rules. It helps everyone work together more easily, avoids confusion, saves time and money, and ensures that everyone is on the same page.
