Morphology

restandardization = restandardize (transparent) = re + standard + ize + ation

This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'restandardize', meaning the process of doing that action.

Etymology

Restandardization comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and standard meaning 'a rule or level'. So restandardization is the process of making something meet that rule or level again, for example adjusting equipment or tools to the correct level after a change.
