The
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German
implementing organization which provides services worldwide in the field of
international cooperation for sustainable development.

 

In a
world of global value-added and supply chains, a well-functioning and
internationally harmonized quality infrastructure (QI) is essential for an
efficient trading system and sustainable economic growth. Standardization,
conformity assessment and accreditation, market monitoring as well as
measurement are fundamental prerequisites for the safety of industrial
production plants, the production and distribution of high-quality products and
the protection of consumers against dangerous products.

 

Through
international cooperation in the global economic relations the Federal Republic
of Germany works towards on the harmonization of the QI, the improvement of the
safety of traded products as well as in the sense of a level playing field on
fair market access and production conditions as well as balanced legal
framework conditions.

 

The
German Federal Government therefore conducts political-led specialist dialogues
on QI with strategically important trading partners such as Brazil, China,
India, Indonesia (ASEAN) and Mexico.

 

The
“Global Platform Quality Infrastructure” project, which was
commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi), ensures
that key players from industry and society are involved in these dialogues, and
cooperation activities on agreed topics are developed and implemented. Through
project teams on-site, the Global QI platform also plays an important role in
radar for new regulatory and technical challenges. It also serves as a crisis
reaction mechanism that enables the BMWi to react flexibly and quickly to new
developments in the area of ​​product safety and QI in cooperation with the
partner governments.
