Certification in Europe
The field of standardization in Europe has a rather long history, and in some areas it is similar to the Russian one. This can be connected with the fact that the certification process here should simultaneously meet the interests of all EU member states, which makes it similar to the similar process taking place in the framework of the EAEU.
European EN standards can be regarded as a kind of analogues to the technical regulations of the Customs Union. They are developed by the European Committee for Standardization for certain categories of goods. After the adoption of such a standard, as in the EAEU, similar national standards are to be abolished, as this will now be a single EU standard. The requirements contained in such documents are sufficiently clear and strictly formulated. Therefore, products that have been tested for compliance with such requirements are characterized by high demand not only in Europe. It is also in demand in other countries, including the category of developed countries such as New Zealand, Australia, the United States, etc.
However, the certification systems in Russia and Europe have an important difference. In our country, the focus is on the quality of the final product. And in European countries no less or even more importance is attached to its production process. The leading role in this regard is played by the International Organization for Standardization ISO, which develops quality management systems in various areas, including social responsibility, environmental welfare and so on. Generalized standards are sometimes developed that include requirements for both products and production characteristics. They are generally labelled with the double designation EN ISO.
