| Project Detail |
Global Project Quality Infrastructure In global value chains, products do not stop at national borders. However, differing standards, diverse regulatory requirements and a large number of certifications make it difficult to access foreign markets. A common understanding of quality and safety is therefore needed. Quality infrastructure is a key component of international trade facilitation. It comprises standardisation, conformity assessment and accreditation, market surveillance, product safety and metrology. Objective Quality infrastructures are aligned more effectively at the international level, and technical barriers to cross-border trade have been removed. This improves the safety of traded products and strengthens consumer protection. |
