They : – Support the facilitation of global trade, the dissemination of new technologies, good business practice and the relations between economic actors. – Support good environmental practice and information, energy efficiency and the dissemination of new, eco-friendly and energy performance technologies. – Contribute to consumer protection, safety at work, healthcare, security and other social interests which may require technical or management standards for the related products and services. |
