Standards play an important role in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). ISO has developed several standards families like ISO 14000 that relate to environmental management and reducing impacts. National standards bodies help develop domestic standards aligned with international ones. Standards ensure wastewater is treated according to drinking, irrigation and discharge quality levels. They provide guidance on sampling techniques and laboratory competence. The U4SSC KPIs use international smart city standards to measure sustainability progress. However, some challenges remain such as the lack of standards in all needed areas and difficulty getting communities to adhere to standards.

- 24. How standards help to achieve SDGs?
- 25. Example: • Wastewater Treatment and Reuse using a Constructed Wetland System at Institutional Level Country: Botswana
- 26. Strategy • Improving water quality by reducing pollution, minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals and materials
- 27. • National standards based on international standards to treat wastewater discharged to it. • Effluent produced by the constructed wetland system is assessed for quality in accordance with the national water quality standards. These are the drinking water quality specifications (BOS32: 2015), wastewater discharge requirements (BOS 93: 2012) and the water quality for irrigation specifications (BOS 463:2011). • These standards were developed in Botswana by Botswana Bureau of Standards.
- 28. The collection of samples from the wetland system is carried out in accordance with water quality sampling standards (BOS ISO 5667) which provide guidance on sampling wastewaters, sampling techniques, sample handling and preservation and guidance on the design of sampling programmes. Sampling, handling of samples in the field, their preservation and transportation to the laboratory for testing are also guided by the standard BOS ISO/IEC 17025 for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
