Consumer Protection through standards

Role of Consumer Organizations

Consumer Organizations can contribute to the development of standards in many ways, for example:

  • data on safety aspects
  • used (or misused) in practice
  • performance requirements and test methods reflecting actual use
  • research on consumer behavior, consumer complaints analysis
  • educate consumers - enhance awareness and promote the importance of those standards
  • participate in the Standards development
  • timely information, knowledge and awareness on standards
