Prospects for the development of ISO

1. Establishing links with the market - the selection of priority projects;

2 Reduction of total cost and time by improving the efficiency of their work ;

3 Promoting the World Trade Organization;

4 Encourage the creation of new standards for the industry , the development of relations with the WTO on terms of technical assistance.

An urgent task is to improve the structure of the ISO standards Fund . At present, the social sphere and information technology have become a priority in the work of ISO .

ISO standards are carefully crafted version of the technical requirements for products (services ) , which facilitates the exchange of goods , services and ideas among all countries of the world. Is largely due to the technical committees responsible attitude towards consensus on technical issues , for what are the sole responsibility of TC chairmen .

In content, the ISO standards differ from national standards that only about 20 % of them include requirements for specific products . The main part of the ISO requirements for safety , interoperability , connectivity, product testing methods , as well as other general and methodological issues , ie those aspects that are essential to understanding the manufacturer and the consumer , regardless of the country where the products are produced and used .

Thus , the use of most of the international standards ISO provides that the specific technical requirements for the product are installed directly in the contracts.

ISO standard , if applied entered into the national system of standardization of the country , and can be used in two - or multilateral trade relations.

ISO standards are not binding on the status of the participating countries , ie Each country has the right to use them as a whole , the individual partitions or not to apply . Decision on their application is mainly due to the degree of participation in the international division of labor and the state of its foreign trade. However, in a highly competitive global marketplace, manufacturers of products , striving to maintain the high competitiveness of its products , have to use international standards. According to foreign experts , the industrialized countries (eg the Netherlands , Sweden , Belgium , Austria , Denmark ) was used to fund 80% of the ISO standards. These countries seek to establish national standards in areas where there are the relevant international standards .

The highest , reaching for a Member State is to adopt ISO national standard as international. To enable the national standard in the work plan must be submitted to ISO ISO Council reasoned proposal , indicating the role of standards in the expansion of international trade, ensuring the safety of people and the environment.

Intense competition in the global market countries and companies that are global manufacturers of concrete products, starts and appears on the stage of development of the international standard , ISO TC when faced with a certain pressure on the part of individual countries on the technical requirements and standards that must be included in a future international standard . Economically developed countries rightly see in the project to meet the specific relevant national standard and fight in that draft their own national interests. It is no accident of the total number of international ISO standards for more than 70 % in line with national standards or trade there industrialized countries.

Leadership of any country in the development of international standards to a large extent determined by the degree of participation by professionals in the working bodies of ISO .

In recent years, ISO has paid much attention to international standardization in the field of services and quality assurance systems. In order to develop a uniform approach to the issue of quality has been established TC 176 "Quality Management and Quality Assurance " , whose purpose is to standardize and harmonize the basic principles of quality assurance systems. According to the analysis of the national experience of the USA , France, Britain and other countries have been developed and published in 1987 by the international standards ISO 9000 , and in time - series of ISO 14000 and ISO 17025 .

ISO has established a strategic partnership with the WTO. All countries that are members of the WTO , or plan to be, must understand the issues of international standardization and to realize their contribution to international trade.

More than 100 countries of the 146 member bodies are developing countries and countries with economies in transition. Most of them do not have the infrastructure in the area of ​​standards and related areas such as technical regulations , conformity assessment , metrology and quality , that is a serious problem for the participants of the economic processes in these countries. This creates unnecessary barriers to trade, inefficient use of resources and production capability , which leads to wasted effort on lifting the economy and poor quality of life . It is for these reasons that ISO is a great help developing countries improve the standardization activities and the creation of standards infrastructure necessary for the economic development of the state and its integration into the world economy. The official languages ​​are recognized ISO Russian , English and French
