  3. Component I National Standards System relation with International & Regional System

  4. International, Regional and National System Measurement Standards Standardization Conformity Assessment Legal Metrology International APMP, ASEAN COST Expert Group APLAC, PAC, ACCSQ WG2 APEC SCSC ACCSQ WG1 APLMF ACCSQ WG3 Regional Metrology Laboratory, MSTRD At present MSTRD National National Standards Council has Proposed in draft law NAB has proposed in draft law Metrology Law has been drafted

  23. Existing Conformity Assessment for IT products • Testing Laboratories for IT products are not available in country • Endorsed the certificate of importing country by Post and Telecommunica-tion Department on checking the specification of some products

  24. Future Plan for IT Conformity Assessment in Myanmar • To Encourage to establish IT Testing Labs • To establish immediately Testing labs by developing countries is difficult • NAFP/NAB recognize test certificates of labs through Asia-Pacific regional MRA • Endorse by regulators if the certificates has issued from recognized labs by NAB

  25. Conclusions and Recommendations • Developing IT National Standards is rely on Testing Facilities • Establishment of Testing Labs in IT technology, if possible • Using the Asia-Pacific Regional MRA mechanism for accreditation of testing labs will be cost effective and ensure the quality assurance
