Incorrect.
We are talking about manufacturing, not pharmaceuticals.
There are no "standards across the globe" in manufacturing.
The prevailing onus of responsibility with consumer goods lies with the consumer, in the form of "caveat emptor" ("let the buyer beware").
A good analogy would be the manufacture of automobiles. Because there are no "global manufacturing standards," you can end up purchasing a poor quality automobile or a good quality automobile...an automoblie with a 5 star crash test rating or an automobile with a 3 star crash test rating...an automobile that comes with a 3 year warranty or one that comes with a 5 year warranty.
Some countries are not known for producing high quality automobiles.
Remember the Yugo?
The same holds true for any product...including televisions.
Some manufacturing plants adhere to stricter standards than other plants.
There are no "global standards" that mandate television manufacturers adhere to certain standards of quality.
Standards of safety, perhaps...standards of quality, no.
Standards of quality are mandated by each individual manufacturer.
Therefore it is wise to be concerned with where and by whom your television is produced.
