1. can be any 杆 that serves to mark a place.

John won the race; he was first past the post.
约翰赛跑获胜了,他第一个过终点标杆。
An object, such as a post or stone, fixed in the ground so as to mark a boundary or position.
标石立在地上标示边界或地点的物体,如标杆或界石

2. because of that, figuratively it means a goal
LA: 「以奧運奪得金牌為標杆」
"model" then follows (as sth to be aimed for)

3. J has examples for benchmark
Diff:
- 標杆 标杆 [biao1 gan1] /surveyor's pole/CL:根[gen1]/benchmark/model/
+ 標杆 标杆 [biao1 gan1] /surveyor's pole/post (used for a landmark)/CL:根[gen1]/(fig.) goal/model/benchmark/
