Why do you standardize?

This is a very general question and it would help if it were more specific. You might standardize reagents because you're performing an experiment where you need to do multiple trials. In each trial there will be some variability, whether it's due to the operator or the day to day conditions. Standardizing reagents and controls will allow you to compare experimental results over the course of the entire experiment. Without standardized controls, you would not be able to tell whether the varying results were due to random error or actual deviation of the experiment.
