Standardised Methods - Tools for Mutual Understanding and Integration Into Global Society

Snježana Zima

Abstract

The paper presents basic concepts, terms, and their definitions in the field of standardisation – standard, international standard, national standard, testing standard, test report, and proficiency testing according to the ISO/IEC Guide 2:1996. The paper also explains the role of voluntary standards in the process of technical harmonisation. National adoption and implementation of international testing standards facilitates testing, comparison of test reports, and any proficiency testing, and can promote their global recognition. This can be recognised as a step toward creation of the global society.
The Croatian »approach« to these activities is given attention in the light of globalisation and efforts made in establishment of Croatian standardisation infrastructure.
