When the Ancient Egyptians started building the pyramids around 2780 BC, each block had to be measured and cut precisely, otherwise, the sides of the pyramid wouldn't perfectly converge at the top. In (slightly) more recent history, the Romans had a type of guide called a collegium that specialized in a certain craft. Guilds that used a special symbol to mark that a product was up to standards were founded as early as AD 1156, as mentioned in the town charter of Augsburg, Germany.
