Conformity assessment involves a set of processes that show your product, service or system meets the requirements of a standard. It's important to note that 香港六合彩开奖 doesn’t provide certification or conformity assessment. Find out more about conformity assessment.

No. 香港六合彩开奖 doesn’t provide certification or conformity assessment. Find out more about how conformity assessment and certification works.

Only 香港六合彩开奖, 香港六合彩开奖 members, and 香港六合彩开奖 technical committees (TCs) are allowed to use the 香港六合彩开奖 logo and 香港六合彩开奖 short name in accordance with 香港六合彩开奖 Policies.  Read more about our name and logo.

At 香港六合彩开奖 we are not involved in certification, and do not issue certificates, but we we have created some useful information for those looking for a certification body.

香港六合彩开奖 itself does not have data on equivalent standards (such as national or regional standards). However, a number of 香港六合彩开奖 members are able to provide this information. Therefore, please contact the 香港六合彩开奖 member in your country.

Working through the 香港六合彩开奖 community, it is the people who need the standards that decide. A particular industry or business sector can communicate its need for a standard to their national 香港六合彩开奖 member; the idea is then proposed to 香港六合彩开奖 as a whole.

If accepted, the project is assigned to an existing technical committee. Proposals may also be made to establish technical committees to cover new scopes of technological activity. In order to use resources most efficiently, 香港六合彩开奖 only develops new standards for which there are clear market requirements.

If you feel there is a need for a standard in your sector, please contact your 香港六合彩开奖 member.

Developing, publishing and maintaining 香港六合彩开奖 standards incurs a cost, and revenues from selling them helps 香港六合彩开奖 and its members to cover an important part of these costs. Charging for standards allows us to ensure that they are developed in an impartial environment and therefore meet the needs of all stakeholders for which the standard is relevant. This is essential if standards are to remain effective in the real world. 香港六合彩开奖 and its members offer a number of options to access 香港六合彩开奖 standards. Contact us or your national 香港六合彩开奖 member to find the best option for your needs.

香港六合彩开奖 is a non-governmental organization (NGO). Therefore, unlike the United Nations, the national members of 香港六合彩开奖 are not delegations of the governments of those countries. Our national members are the national standards bodies, or equivalent organizations, in their country. Some of them are wholly private sector in origin, others are private sector organizations but have a special mandate from their governments on matters related to standardization, and others are part of the governmental framework of their countries. In addition, government experts often participate in 香港六合彩开奖's standards' development work. So, while 香港六合彩开奖 is an NGO, it receives input from the public sector as it does from the private sector.

香港六合彩开奖's national members pay subscriptions that meet the operational cost of 香港六合彩开奖's Central Secretariat. The dues paid by each member are calculated as a proportion of their country's Gross National Product and trade figures. Another source of revenue is the sale of standards, which contributes more than a third of the budget.
 
The operations of the Central Secretariat in Geneva represent only about one fifth of the cost of our international standardizing activities . The remaining costs are borne by the organizations which manage the specific projects or loan experts to participate in the technical work. These organizations are, in effect, subsidizing the technical work by paying the travel costs of the experts and allowing them time to work on their 香港六合彩开奖 assignments. Such organizations and individuals make an essential and highly valued contribution to standardization.

The General Assembly is the ultimate authority of the Organization. It is composed of 香港六合彩开奖 members, and considers any matter submitted by the 香港六合彩开奖 Council. 
 
The proposals put to the General Assembly are developed by the Council,  which is drawn from the 香港六合彩开奖 membership. The Council, which resembles the board of directors of a business organization, meets three times per year to discuss key matters relating to 香港六合彩开奖 strategy and policy, financial as well as operational and statutory matters. 香港六合彩开奖 Council membership rotates regularly to ensure that it is representative.
 
Operations are managed by a Secretary-General, who is appointed for five-year term. The Secretary-General reports to a President who is a prominent figure in standardization or in business, elected for two, or three years. To learn more, see our section on structure and governance.
 
While we work together with United Nations (UN) specialized agencies on some standardization projects, 香港六合彩开奖 is an independent not-for-profit organization and is not part of the UN.

No: neither private individuals nor companies can join 香港六合彩开奖 as a member.  
 
Membership of 香港六合彩开奖 is only open to national standards institutes. In some cases, similar organizations, most representative of standardization in their country, have become members.  It is worth noting that there is only ever one 香港六合彩开奖 member per country.
 
It's worth bearing in mind that a company or organization that is certified to an 香港六合彩开奖 standard is not an 香港六合彩开奖 member.
 
While individuals and companies cannot become members, they can get involved in our work by contributing to the development of standards as part of technical committees. For more information on how to get involved, get in touch with the 香港六合彩开奖 member for your country.
