Standardization is recognized by UNECE as an important factor of accelerating the economic growth, and education in that field is the drive of sustainable development. Therefore, they drafted the “Model program for education in the field of standardization”. The European organizations for standardization CEN, CENELEC and ETSI developed a policy, master plan and typical study programs for education in that field. The international standardization organization ISO supported their implementation, suggesting the cooperation plan between the national standardization authorities and universities. It also developed two standards containing competencies, which specialists for standardization must have in companies and standardization authorities.Given the European orientation of Ukraine’s development, there was a need to analyze the domestic education system in the field of standardization and identify provisions that require modernization. This analysis showed that the existing approach to the study of standardization in higher education institutions is a legacy of its understanding as a formal, state-regulated process.The considered standards of higher education in the specialty 152, to which standardization belongs, do not mean enough competencies and program results of learning that are necessary for metrologists in accordance with the qualification characteristics of professions. Educational programs offered by domestic universities do not allow forming a complete set of knowledge, abilities and skills specified in the reference book of qualification characteristics of professions in the field of standardization. In addition, the requirements of this guide for standardization specialists do not correspond to the competencies that the modern market puts forward and are reflected in international ISO standards. The basis for their formation should be international curriculum models, which, in turn, requires the implementation in Ukraine of ISO, CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, and UNECE recommendations. The international community noted that standardization knowledge is an advantage for graduates of both engineering and non-technical fields. In accordance with UNECE recommendations, issues related to standardization should be included in the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Also, according to these recommendations, competencies and program results of learning are proposed, which can be the basis for changing the relevant standards of higher education and educational programs.
