| The objectives of the standardisation activity: |
| |
-
to create and
develop a favorable medium in the quality and products certification
domain, of the services and the quality-medium-security management
systems
-
to grow the

-
to create and
develop the appropriate medium for the production of the

|
What is the standard? |
|
|
|
The standard is a document, established by
mutual agreement and approved by an authorised organism, that offers, for
comun and constant use, rules or characteristics for activities or their
results, in order to obtain an optimal level of order in a given
situation. |
|
|
|
The standardisation in the wood industry exists for the following
sectors: |
|
|
|
referring to: |
-
terminology
-
classification
-
conditions
-
product specification
-
performance level
-
testing methods.
|
|
The
standardisation in the wood industry and of the wooden products is
recognised as a strategic instrument, delivering on the market standards
which are establishing, very clearly, the products/services
characteristics according to their final use or their object, and also
permits a trusting factor between different actors (constructors,
architects, research institutes, companies, consumers etc.) to be
established again.
The standard
represents a transparency instrument on the public markets. In our time,
on our competitive market, in order to be able to well choose a supplier
and to obtain a high quality product/service, the buyer has the interest
to qoute in the public offers:
|
-
one standard
or standards defining the products/service;
-
qualified
human and material means;
-
a quality
assurance system according to ISO 9000 standards.
|
|
The advantages of using the standards: |
-
the
interconnectivity of the sectors, the simplification, which involves the
costs reduction;
-
the promotion
of global communication systems;
-
the
uniformity of the testing methods used in the laboratoires;
-
the pollution
reduction;
-
the
bureaucracy reduction;
-
the growth of
the trust level of the users.
