Increasing standardization

To promote standardisation, the aim is to create an awareness among all those concerned (the authorities, business, employees, consumers) about the technical and strategic aspects of standardisation, to involve them more fully in this process and to inform them about the results. Dialogue is therefore needed to maximise the benefits of standardisation. The question, however, is to determine what will help to promote standardisation. International standardisation plays an essential part in the abolition of barriers to trade.
