We offer your Company International Compliance integrated with internal and external harmonized standards. Having one global standard becomes more and more important as companies merge across international boundaries, helped by regional trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and those established by the European Union (EU), which have facilitated international mergers through the lowering of tariffs on imports. The companies involved in these consolidations, used to selling to just one market, now find themselves selling to global markets. The standards for products in these markets are often different, which complicates manufacturing procedures. Local laws may require the use of a particular standard, yet these laws are viewed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) as technical barriers to trade, and WTO member countries are charged with reducing these and other barriers to free global trade. The best approach for users of standards are to adopt the dominant standard as an umbrella that references other regional, national and international standards.
