Expanding market opportunities
The use of standards and accredited conformity assessment are increasingly being required in the supply chain and are appearing in a growing number of tender documents. They provide purchasers with confidence that products are safe, reliable and meet specification. As a result, they provide access to new markets and opportunities.
Standards and accredited conformity assessment operate to international standards and mutual recognition accreditation agreements. They therefore facilitate trade through the removal of technical barriers to trade and the reduction in potential transactional costs. These case studies, research papers and supporting material show how businesses are taking advantage of new market opportunities.
