COPANT

COPANT

COPANT, comprises the National StandardsBodies (NSB) of the Americas, and is thereference organization for technicalstandardization and conformity assessment forthe countries of the Americas for its membersand international peers, and promotes thedevelopment of its members.

COPANT

In its role as the reference body for the standardization andpromoter of conformity assessment in the Americas,COPANT will work:

• to facilitate trade among its member countries andbetween them and other regions,

• to promote sustainable growth of its members, with anemphasis on those least developed,

• to disseminate best practices in technology, quality,environment, innovation and other related subjects,using standardization tools, and

• to improve the participation of its members ininternational standardization.

FINANCING EXPERIENCES

1.- Up to 1992, Mexican government wasencharged of the NOM activities, at a “simbolic” cost.2.- Then the law was “improved” and privatecertifiers were allowed only one OC per NOM3.- The price of certificate was aproved by DGN, and the original commitment was:3.1 Allocate part of the income forstandardization activities3.2 Take responsibility for sampling products in the field3.3 Invest in research and development

FINANCING EXPERIENCES

4.- In year 2006, the new administration considered the system as something close to a “monopoly” so the market was opened, in energy efficiency we are now 7 OC, which put a lot of challenges in the systemThe original OC , at the same time SDO (still

one per product) , keep the same responsibilities.

FINANCING EXPERIENCES

5.- We have to be creative looking for income schemes, for example:Fire extinguishers recharged-we make the inspection of the agency, under the NOM (similar to a ISO 9001), and according with a contract we deliver them x amount of holograms (one per piece) at a price.--- could be replicated in CROSQ area? -inspection, or certification and deliver the yellow label (security paper, hologram)
