The IT industry has standards for various aspects of the jobs involved (e.g. ITIL). These are voluntary and unpoliced. They're followed because they're industry-standard best practice and self-evidently the best way of doing something. Having the relevant certification or staff qualifications from a standard's governing body, is a selling point for companies trying to win business.
Plenty of companies operate without using the standards, but they take the gamble as to whether this is actually a competitive situation for their particular corner of the market.
However, getting certified and getting qualified, costs. That's how the governing bodies are funded. Not sure the archaeological industry could stand the strain, so you're probably looking at a voluntary model without an organisation to oversee it.
And that's if you can get any two archaeologists to agree on what constitutes a "standard" in the first place. From what I've seen, trying to extract agreement from a group of archaeologists on any subject, is like trying to find a purr in a barrel of cats.
