  2. 1. Korea’ Conformity Assessment Scheme

  3. What is Conformity Assessment ? Current definition from the International Standard ISO/IEC 17000:2004, Conformity assessment - Vocabulary and general principles Conformity assessment demonstration that specified requirements relating to a product, process, system, personor body are fulfilled Note 1 - the subject field of conformity assessment includes activities defined elsewhere in this International Standard, such as testing, inspection and certification, as well as the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies Some subtle differences, including the concept of a hierarchy of roles, no mention of certification etc. ISO notes that an accreditation body is not a conformityassessment body

  9. Summary of TBT Agreement Transparency - All technical requirements shall be acquired Justification - Restriction to specified product shall be sufficient scientific or technical reasons Equivalence - Requirement applied to foreign products shall be applied to domestic same products Standard - Technical Requirement based on international Standard Notification to WTO - New or revised regulations seriously affect trade shall be notified to WTO.

  18. 2. Korea’s Standards Development Policy - COSD : Co-operation Organization for Standards Development

  19. International Trend about Standard Development • Market Relevance → Global Relevance • System Approach • Increased Cooperation between Product TC and System TC • Applying International Standard • Select National Standard or Technical Criteria • Stakeholder’s Participation • Appear Various Technical Fields • Improvement of Standard Development Efficiency • Related to Expense and Time

  20. Strengthen Interrelationship Between Gov. Div. Expand Private Standard Activity National Standard System Policy International Standard Activity Increasing (to 12th) International Standard Activity Increasing (to 7th) International - Standard Development KATS(100 %) KATS(40 %), COSD(60 %) KATS(20 %), COSD(80 %) 2008 yrs 2010yrs 2012 yrs KAT’s Policy to the Standard • Standard development activity is transferred From government to private area • Strategic part and International activity are strengthened

  21. Background of COSD • Increasing the Number of Korean National Standard • Insufficient Gov. Human Resources Who are responsible for the Standard Development • Paradigm Change of Standardization • International Trends US ∙ Private-centered Standard System ∙ Gov : Policy • UK, Germany • Private: Country Representative • Gov: MoU with Private • Japan • Private: Standard Dev. Manage • Gov.: Policy, deliberate, notify
