The aim of this paper is to analyse the aspects influencing the extent of participation in the development of regional and international standards of stakeholders of a specific country and to identify possible limitations and necessary improvements to foster comprehensive contribution to standardization for countries with lower influence on standardization decisions. An empirical study of the experience of Latvia is performed in this paper. The research methodology is based on the analysis of literature on standardization, standardization processes and standards development. Systematic literature review methods such as overview and scoping review are applied in the paper. Expert opinion surveys, inviting standardization experts and standards users, are carried out to reflect the current situation. Methods such as logical and comparative analysis are also applied throughout the research.
