The Bureau of Standards (also Standards Vekllei) establishes and maintains standards for the visual identity, administrative procedures and industrial practices of the Vekllei government and its subordinate bodies. Its remit covers both operating procedures and major design elements – flags, logos, typefaces, preferred punctuation and the appearance of Commonwealth infrastructure and publications. It has considerable authority over other departments, which generally lack autonomy to enforce their own visual identity independently. Most visual design work is performed by in-house designers and artists.
The bureau also regulates commercial and industrial standards for businesses operating in Vekllei, and prosecutes criminal breaches of those standards. It is part of the Ministry of the Commonwealth.
