Standard setting is one of ARM's 3 strategic areas of work.  ARM focuses on fair trade standards which provide a market niche for small scale producers all over the world. ARM develops standards following the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for standard setting.

ARM has been engaged with FLO in developing and field testing of the Fairtrade and Fairmined standard for gold from artisanal and small-scale mining, including associated precious metals.
