A seminar on “Standardization as a Tool to Support Export Development” was organized jointly by the “One-Stop” Export Support Center and the Azerbaijan Standardization Institute at the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication (CAERC).
The organizers, Nicat Hacızadə, Manager of the “One-Stop” Export Support Center, and Namig Taghiyev, Director of the Azerbaijan Standardization Institute, noted that the seminar aimed to provide Azerbaijani entrepreneurs with detailed guidance on the standards required for exporting products to foreign markets, application procedures, necessary documents, and recent legislative reforms in technical regulation and standardization. The discussion also focused on how certification and laboratory testing services influence the formation of a competitive business environment.
