Wherever you are, you’re surrounded by standards

Key challenges identified All countries, especially developing countries need to become

”standard setters” and not only ”standard takers” International standards need to be trade supportive not trade

barriers Active involvement in development of standards internationally

will enhance possibilities for effective implementation of standards nationally

International standards – to become applicable and relevant to as many countries around the globe

International standards – support local private companies (SMEs) competitiveness on global markets

Support a stakeholder driven standardisation process to increase the expertise and different perspectives incorporated in the standard

Standard implementation – increase the practical usage of standards applicable to various products and services

International standards linkage to other areas of importance

Good environmental and sustainable practice promoted in ISO standards

Reduced environmental impact from production Improved trade opportunities through better access to

global markets Improved consumer protection and safety Supportive of development of national legislation Improved influence by stakeholders from private sector

in regulations/standards that they are directly affected by

Increased global relevance and appliance of ISO standards

Principles

Page 10: Tom Introduction to international standards and standardisation processes Carina Svensson, Programme Manager – Swedish Standards Institute (SIS)

Developing a standard

23-04-20 10

• Anyone can initiate the process

• A New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) submitted to all NSBs

• NWIP includes suggestions for leadership of International Secretariat and possible stakeholders

Concept

Page 11: Tom Introduction to international standards and standardisation processes Carina Svensson, Programme Manager – Swedish Standards Institute (SIS)

Developing a standard

23-04-20 11

• NSBs in consultations with stakeholders vote on NWIP

• NSBs and stakeholders to decide if and how to participate

• Stakeholders decide to influence the content of an International standard and standardisation process (employers agenda and competence development)

• ISO decides country leading the International Secretariat

Referral CommentsVote

• Given a positive vote, the standard can be adopted as an ISO standard

• NSBs should decide on adoption of ISO standard on national level (and translation)

• If a negative vote, discussion on how to proceed (e.g. another ISO standard / Technical specification / Technical Report)

What is Competitive Advantages?

… a basis for the firm’s long term success?

… a basis for value creation?

”When two or more firms compete within the same market, one firm possesses a competitive advantage over its rivals when it earns a persistently higher rate of profit (or has the potential to earn a persistently higher rate of profit)”

- R. M. Grant 2000

Page 20: Tom Introduction to international standards and standardisation processes Carina Svensson, Programme Manager – Swedish Standards Institute (SIS)

Sustainable Competitive Advantages

- reflected on Products/Services

Quality of the product and quality of customer service

Design Innovative product / service Customized product / service with integrated

services Environmental friendly

Page 21: Tom Introduction to international standards and standardisation processes Carina Svensson, Programme Manager – Swedish Standards Institute (SIS)

Economic Advantages of standardisation Compatibility – compability standards between different parts and components are essential

Quality & Safety – increase quality and reduce risks for defective products/bad services

Variety Reduction - standards limits the production of a certain product to a certain range of characteristics such as size, quality and other technical specifications

Communication of Technical Parameters – supports trade and trade agreements between different producers in the world

Reduce Trade barriers – harmonization of standards and lower the costs for certifying local products

Reduce Transaction Cost – Standards reduce transaction costs by improving recognition of technical characteristics and avoidance of buyer dissatisfaction.

Use across different markets – way forward for international trade, global applicability, harmonization of standards, facilitation of time delivery products/services, disseminate different technologies
