UNIDO Assistance to Developing Countries in the Area of Standards, Metrology, Certification & Accreditation Co-operation between ILAC-IAF Joint Development Support Committee and UNIDO Dr. Lalith Goonatilake Director Trade Capacity Building Branch Ouseph Padickakudi Project Manager Trade Capacity Building Branch

  2. Presentation Overview • Benefitting From Global Trade: Challenges • UNIDO Trade Capacity Building Project Examples • UNIDO – JDSC Co-operation • Accreditation workshops • Joint UNIDO-ISO-IAF survey on ISO 9001 impact on business • Pre-peer evaluation of accreditation bodies • Global Laboratory Network (LABNET) • UNIDO Training Centres on Lab. Mgt. & Metrology • UNIDO-JDSC WORK PROGRAMME (2010-2011)

  3. Industry & Trade Development = Income Generation and Poverty Reduction China & Vietnam- Trade driven growth & poverty reduction Vietnam reduced poverty rate from 51% to 8%in only 15 years CHINA: 400 million emerged from poverty during 1981- 2001 achievedpoverty MDGs, 14 years before the target date 2015 No.3

  4. High-Income developing countries Middle-Income developing countries Low-Income developing countries Global Trade Growth & Marginalization Concerns World Source: UNCTAD, Handbook of Statistics, 2008 Developed Economies Developing Economies LDCs Over 90% of total world merchandise exports is in Industrial Goods (2007) No.4

  5. Integrating into Global Trade • Successful Trade Participation:UNIDO 3Cs • “Countries must have marketable products for exportation”  COMPETITIVITY of productive capacities • “Products must conform to requirements of clients and markets”  CONFORMITYwith standards • “Rules for trade must be equitable and customs procedures harmonized”  CONNECTIVITYto markets  PRODUCTIVITY (enterprise)  COST OF EXPORTING (support services)

  6. Global Value Chains: Defining Market Access • Auditing the Value Chain – Compliance to Standards • Product/Process standards (ISO/IEC) • Quality Standards (ISO 9001) • Environment Standards (ISO 14001) • Food Safety Standards (ISO 22000) • Labour Social Standards (SA 8000) • Safety Standards (OSHAS) • Testing (ISO/IEC 17025) • Calibration • Traceability (Farm-to-Fork) • Private Standards (GlobalGAP)

  7. Developing Country Agro-Food Exports: Achieving and Proving Compliance Key Challenges: • Developing countries lack capacity to implement agreements • Conformity assessment technology and standards evolve • More technical assistance is needed • WTO TBT & SPS agreements compliance/Conditions to export agro-food: • Products sourced from areas free of pests & diseases • Fruits/vegetables - minimum pesticide residue standard • Meats/fish meet minimum antibiotic residue requirement • Standards of hygiene applied in manufacturing (HACCP/ISO 22000) Developing Conformity Infrastructure (testing laboratories, etc.) – the KEY
