Yuri Budkin, Deputy General Director of Standardinform, and Alexander Yekimov, Head of the Department of standards in support of technical regulations of the EEC took part in a regular meeting of the Working Group (WG) on the coordination of the Plan of the Agreement on the implementation of national standards institutes of the EEC member states on February 11, 2021.
Working Group members from BelGISS, KazStandard, the National Body for Standardization and Metrology of the Republic of Armenia, the Center for Standardization and Metrology of the Kyrgyz Republic exchanged views on the problem of insufficient number of interstate standards necessary to implement the requirements of technical regulations (TR) of the EEC.
"One way to solve the problem of the lack of documents could be the implementation of a mechanism for synchronization of standardization programs to TR with the Program of interstate standardization and accession of all national bodies of the EEC member states at the stage of "adoption" of interstate standards. This mechanism should be realized through the the Implementation Plan for the Agreement on the Joint Activity of the National Standardization Institutes of the EEC Member States. This task is also helped by the formation of the EEC target program for the development of interstate standards on the basis of departmental methodologies included in the lists of standards for technical regulations", - explained Yuri Budkin.
The meeting also discussed the progress of voting on the recommendations for consideration and dissemination of documents on interstate standardization.
Working Group decided to continue to exchange bibliographic data on translations of international (regional) standards in order to form a database of Russian translations of international (regional) standards to provide industry and business communities of EEC countries. Standardinform made a proposal to supplement the Recommendations on interstate standardization in the Annex on the exchange of bibliographic data.
Agreed actions to improve the development of standardization in the EEC were discussed under the chairmanship of a WG member, Deputy Director General of KazStandard, Yerzhan M. Amirkhanova.
All decisions of the meeting will be implemented in accordance with the Action Plan.
