标准化已经远远超出了工业世界的范围。它通过以标准的形式提供公共保障，参与管理我们的生活和所有生命实体的生活。医学的社会研究为推进标准化提供了宝贵的贡献，作为一个调查主题，最显着的是通过调查“监管”和“客观性”之间的关系，在标准的概念中画在一起。本附言从“承诺制度”的角度讨论了这一贡献，即人类致力于环境的各种方式-从公共立场到最接近的形式-并追求一种“善”。这些制度的区别在于它们所承诺的好处，以及所提供的保证可以共同持有的程度。本附言中的讨论扩展了学术界对标准的批评，考虑到标准化可能产生的压迫和征服。
Standardization has been extended far beyond the industrial world. It participates in governing our lives and the lives of all living entities by producing public guarantees in the form of standards. Social studies of medicine have provided a precious contribution to advancing standardization as a topic of inquiry, most notably through investigations of the relationship between ‘regulation’ and ‘objectivity’, drawn together in the concept of the standard. This postscript discusses this contribution from the point of view of ‘regimes of engagement’, that is, a variety of ways in which humans are committed to their environment — from public stances to the closest forms of proximity — and in pursuit of a kind of ‘good’. These regimes are distinguished according to the good they promise, as well as the degree to which the guarantee being offered can be held in common. The discussion in this postscript extends the critique raised by scholarship on standards by taking into account the oppression and subjugation that standardization can engender.
