The circular economy: building trust through conformity assessment
Standards and conformity assessment provide assurance on aspects of the circular economy including product lifetime and recyclability, safety and efficiency.
International standards enable a safe and sustainable management of water resources, safeguarding public health and ecosystems. They provide businesses with tools for measuring and optimizing water use and wastewater treatment. The practical solutions and best practices outlined in these standards facilitate equitable sharing of this precious resource, even across national borders.
