Lightbulb Concept - Global Image

Quality is an intrinsic element of competitiveness in international trade. Standards and technical regulations specify quality requirements, which vary in different markets and evolve constantly with changes in technology, consumer preferences and scientific advances.

ITC surveys reveal that over 50% of enterprises face difficulties related to: 1) Insufficient or unclear understanding of technical requirements in specific markets; 2) Inadequate capacity (knowledge, skills and internal systems) to comply with such requirements; 3) Lack of awareness and/or access to conformity assessment services (testing, inspection, certification).

There is a need for efficient and effective transfer of quality-related know-how to SMEs. This is where the Quality for Trade Platform can create a genuine impact.

The Quality for Trade Platform serves as a one-stop quality shop allowing registered users to: discover quality requirements, connect to needed institutional and individual expertise and services, seek pathways to improvements and gain insights from those who have already experienced success. This platform complements in-country initiatives as an information resource that allows work to continue long after face-to-face trainings are complete.
