BelTA learned from the press service of Belarus’ State Committee for Standardization.
The 3rd Belarus-Uzbekistan Women’s Business Forum featured panel sessions.

Chairwoman of the State Committee for Standardization Yelena Morgunova noted that the committee is now actively working with Uzstandard, Uzbekistan’s agency for standardization. A working group has been set up to prepare an agreement on the mutual recognition of conformity assessment results for mutually supplied products. The parties are now compiling a relevant list of products.
