Some issues of standardisation in Croatia

Karla Kuzle ; Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia

Abstract

Norms and standards define standard product characteristics and their specifications.
They are established by consensus of all interested parties, from businesses
to state administrative bodies. Although their implementation is voluntary,
they are extremely important, particularly in the European Union where they
are essential for the free movement of goods. Numerous international and national
organisations deal with standardisation. Within the EU, new approach
directives are an important regulatory instrument of standardisation. Croatia
has significantly modernised its legislation on standardisation and has made
considerable progress in the process of harmonisation with technical regulations
of the EU, European standardisation, measurement, and accreditation, as well
as with the procedures for the assessment of product compatibility.
