KAZMEMST implements the State policy in the field of Technical
Regulation and maintenance of uniformity of measurements.
KAZMEMST forms the State systems of Technical Regulation and
maintenance of uniformity of measurements.
As of today, Kazakhstan is working on the formation of the technical
legislation and normative legal acts with a view to reforming the system of
technical regulation and the accession of the Republic into the World
Trade Organization. Legislative and normative bases should be
harmonized as much as possible with the international requirements and
standards. With the adoption of an international system of technical
regulation, the “Technical Regulation” Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan
has considerably expanded the sphere of application of standards.
The main directions of work in the field of standardization are:
- development of evidence-based foundations for observance of
mandatory requirements of technical regulations;
- removal of technical barriers to trade by harmonization of domestic
standards with international equivalents;
- higher level of safety and competitiveness of products, implementation
of modern methods of management of quality and environmental issues.
According to the Law of the RK, the reforming of the existing system of
technical regulation stipulates creation of a two-level system: technical
regulations containing all obligatory public requirements on product
safety, and voluntary standards including norms of competitiveness for
such products.
