How to use "Stringency" in context?
Stringency refers to the level of rigor, strictness, or severity associated with a particular practice, policy, or rule. In many cases, this level of stringency affects the degree to which something is enforced or adhered to. For example, highly stringent food safety standards may require much greater adherence to safety precautions than less rigorous standards.
Similarly, stringent security measures may require stricter adherence to rules and procedures than less stringent ones. By definition, stringent requirements are demanding and often require a great deal of dedication and effort to meet.
