The Standard Products Catalogue has been established by the International Federation and the International Committee of the Red Cross, with the support of National Societies. Its aim is to standardize and harmonize the selection and procurement of relief items during but not only emergency operations. Standardization improves quality assurance, communication and reporting, and also helps prevent inappropriate donations.
