Export Quality Management

Resumen del Libro

Exporters in developing countries and transition economies have to comply with a range of non-tariff standards and regulations which can prove to be a difficult and costly process. These countries often lack a national infrastructure for standardisation and quality assurance. This book provides guidance to small and medium enterprises in developing and transition economies on the key issues in standards and conformity assessment including: technical regulations and standards, product certification, testing, metrology, quality management, ISO 9000, accreditation, and the WTO Agreements on the technical barriers to trade and the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
