QCD is a key part of the Standard Model but quark confinement is a complication/interesting feature.

Cross-sections calculated at high energy using QCD pert. th. with ~3% errors. Also parton distribution function and hadronisation uncertainties. But (some) properties of hadrons much more accurately known and calculable in lattice QCD - can test SM and determine parameters very accurately (1%).
