Provides technical assistance to developing countries, aimed primarily at developing conformity assessment infrastructures. International standards -general International standards specific to the electrotechnical sector United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies Global harmonization of legal metrology procedures Provides basis for a single, coherent system of measurements throughout the world, traceable to the International System of Units (SI) Global harmonization of accreditation practices for management systems, products, services, personnel and other similar programmes Develops International Recommendations which are considered international standards in the context of the WTO TBT Agreement. Limited to development of test suites for its own standards Develops mandatory, guidance and informative documents for accreditation bodies Only by developing standards that are used for conformity assessment. Carries out conformity assessment through the IECEE, IECEx and IECQ Schemes. Encourages vendors to participate in ITU s conformity and interoperability programme, based on ISO/IEC assessment or selfassessment standards, and Self-Declarations of Conformity (SDOC). Provides support and legal basis to conformity assessment infrastructure.
