Benchmarking has this meaning through the business world, not just in fire and safety. The purpose of benchmarking is to improve the way your organization does things.
for eg: for a product required by a customer, the benchmarking will be done by the customer. it means the product is of good quality which the customer was expecting. Benchmarking means the product has relative performance which is expected.
