MINSK, 3 September (BelTA) – Belarus and Uzbekistan will prepare an agreement on the mutual recognition of conformity assessment results for supplied products, BelTA learned from the press service of Belarus’ State Committee for Standardization.
The 3rd Belarus-Uzbekistan Women’s Business Forum featured panel sessions. During one of them, representatives of light industry enterprises of Belarus and Uzbekistan paid special attention to the application of innovative technologies and advanced international standards to ensure the creation of modern, high-quality products.
Chairwoman of the State Committee for Standardization Yelena Morgunova noted that the committee is now actively working with Uzstandard, Uzbekistan’s agency for standardization. A working group has been set up to prepare an agreement on the mutual recognition of conformity assessment results for mutually supplied products. The parties are now compiling a relevant list of products.
