Serik Kusainov, Director of the EEC Department of Technical Regulation and Accreditation, highlighted EASC’s role in building quality infrastructure across the Commonwealth and the practical demand for interstate standards in EAEU law.
He outlined Union approaches to eliminating technical barriers to trade, confirmed their alignment with established international practice, and called for a more active EAEU–CIS dialogue to exchange best practices.
Participants included national standardization, metrology, conformity assessment and accreditation bodies from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, plus the CIS Executive Committee, the EASC Standards Bureau, ISO, IEC and UNIDO. Cooperation rests on the 2013 memorandum on standardization and measurement uniformity and the 2026–2030 plan under the EEC–CIS Executive Committee memorandum.
