Standards are a major asset for…
States and communities – Economic competitivity and
access to world markets, regulation, sustainable
development, loyal competition, public purchases…
Companies – Technology transfer, market knowledge,
good management practices, quality recognition…
Consumers – Products and services comparison, quality
improvement, information on performance, security and
impact on environment
Researchers – Measurements, risk assessment,
dissemination of innovation, not re-inventing the wheel!

Conformity Assessment and the market
A global framework for conformity assessment will
increase consumer and regulator confidence by:
Providing a common interpretation of conformity
assessment standards and guides;
Elimination of need for multiple testing, audits and
certification (except where national differences exist)
Recognition and acceptance of reports
Reduced costs.
