Limitations associated with standardization

It should be noted that standardization, in addition to the above advantages, is associated with certain disadvantages and limitations, as well as the need to solve a number of complex tasks.

Standardization inherent in some conservatism. The standard usually assumes the presence of a set of specialized enterprises, technological equipment, controls, etc., and under certain conditions may not facilitate the transition to new designs.

When switching to the release of new designs, they face the fact that a large number of equipment uses standard designs at the previous stage, for example, elements that have already been released and are in operation. Its withdrawal may be economically unjustified. The equipment can function for 20 ... 30 years after production and requires the receipt of appropriate products for restoration and repair.
