Cross-Cutting Themes

GENDER

Gender is a cross-cutting theme that needs to be considered at all levels of quality infrastructure development:

  • Quality-related policies and legislation
  • Quality infrastructure institutions
  • Conformity assessment bodies
  • Enterprises/producers participating in global value chains
  • Consumers

By balancing the scales of equality, men and women will have an equal chance to contribute both in the workplace and at home, thereby enhancing their individual well-being and, in turn, that of society
