1. INTRODUCTION

Wherever there is change, new opportunities show themselves. Success will favour those who

take an active role in developments.

The National Standards Development Medium Term Plan represents a timely adjustment of

Armenian standardization to meet the ever increasing demands of the marketplace and society,

true to the vision of: “Standardization in Armenia helps business and society strengthen,

develop and open up regional and global markets”. The purpose of this document is to plan

the development in medium-term perspective of those national standards that will boost the

country’s export, increase the quality of national goods and services and remove technical

barriers in foreign trade.

Standardization is a task undertaken by its stakeholders that benefits everyone in one way or

another. As such, it needs the active involvement of businesses, associations, other

organizations and government in sectors such as efficiency management, quality assurance,

consumer protection, environmental protection and safety.

In an economic context, standards contribute to the development of the free market and the

ability of businesses to remain innovative. Common standards permit the free trade of goods

and services, cutting out additional modification costs. In the Armenia market use of standards

creates openings for new, sustainable innovations.

In a political context, the incorporation of the results of the work of standards bodies in technical

legislation makes the job of legislators easier, and standardization thus effectively contributes to

deregulation.

In society as a whole, standards create transparency for consumers and increase their

confidence in products and services.

Standards exist in a dynamic environment. The globalization of markets, emerging new

business sectors, faster product development and shorter product lifecycles, as well as the

increasing convergence of technologies, mean that national, regional and international

standardization now face many new and more demanding challenges.

New growth markets create new expectations and make it necessary to modify processes.

Current negotiations between Armenia Government and European Union on signing of

Associative and DCFTA agreements formulate an urgent and important need to harmonize the

national standards and progressively adopt the European and international standards that are

based on economic and policy priorities. For the Armenian standardization system, this means

examining national structures and processes and aligning them with global advanced markets

requirements.

With this National Standards Development Medium Term Plan, Armenian standardization is

responding to the changing situation and new demands of a globalized world and a European

and CIS countries market.The National Standards Development Medium Term Plan should be

understood as a call to action for all stakeholders to contribute to its consistent implementation

and ongoing development.

SARM is the National Standards Body of Armenia and as such represents Armenia Government

interests in standardisation in Interantional and Regional Standardisation Organizations (ISO,

ITU, IEC, CEN and EASC). Following to its international and regional standardisation

responsibilities, SARM is strongly committed to take leadership and responsibility in duly and

timely implementation of this Plan according to the provisions of the Armenia Law on

Standardisation.

2. SUMMARY ON NATIONAL PRIORITIES AND EXPECTED BENEFITS

2.1. Economic priorities

The development of national plan of standardisation is based on the assessment of Armenia’s economic priorities. The table 1 below has been formed based on the existing statistical data from the Armenian National Statistical Service. It represents the Armenia economic sectors that are ranked by their contributions to GDP. We used the following ranking criteria:

Rank 1 >10% of GDP Rank 2 5 - 10% of GDP Rank 3 1 - 5% of GDP Rank 4 0.2 - 1% of GDP Rank 5 < 0.2% of GDP

However, sectors that export their products represent the dynamic part of the economy and contribute to earning valuable foreign currency that is used to buy necessary goods for the country. Thus, we have analysed the important sectors of the economy based on these two aspects:

a) Percentage contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) b) Contribution to national export earnings

The Table 2 below represents key economic sectors based on their contribution to national export earnings. The following rule is used to assign a rank to the economic sectors according to their contribution to national export earnings:

Rank 1 >10% of national export earnings Rank 2 5 - 10% of national export earnings Rank 3 1 - 5% of national export earnings Rank 4 0.2 - 1% of national export earnings Rank 5 < 0.2% of national export earnings

2.2. Non-economic priorities and stakeholders requests

Even though standards play crusial role for country’s economic development, and they should be based on economic priorities of country, however, sustainable development is impossible without consideration of human development indicators that are non-economic factors. Standards should support the achievement of objectives that serve the public interest in particular.

In order to ensure that the National Standardisation Plan is designed to promote Armenia’s sustainable development we have carefully analysed through the most important newspapers and magazines published recently the non-economic issues that have been causing concern to the public lately and issues that are expected to have greater importance in the years to came

Page 6: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

6

based on the national plans for economic and social development whose solution the development of a standard(s) could contribute.

In addition, to ensure objectivity and completeness of the Standardisation Plan, we have been holding a wide stakeholder consultations on the existing public needs. In August-November 2012 SARM organized a number of consultation meetings with its stakeholders to reveal thereof interests in standardisation. In particular, meetings with stakeholders representing such sectors as information technologies, food processing, conformity assessment, chemical production, energy production, protection of consumer rights, environmental protection and mining have been held. SARM also send official requests for identifying standardisation needs to all Government agencies and ministries by receiving a number of responses with some specific needs. SARM has hold consultations with its 21 national technical committees to identify the further fields of work that are in interest of involved committee member organizations.

All of the above-mentioned consultations, in which about 200 organizations, 30 government agencies and 500 experts took part, let us to make clear the current standardisation needs and formulate the final list of sectors for the 2013-2015 year standardisation activities.

The consultation with stakeholders and analysis of public concerns recently aired by newspapers and media bring us a number of non-economic issues important for standardisation. The results are summarised in the Table 3 below, which specifies non-economic priority Sectors and Fields of activities covered within the plan by using the following ranking criteria:

Rank 1 – Very serious and urgent problem, public outcry

Rank 2 – Serious problem, common occurrence, media attention

Rank 3 – Serious problem, some media reports

2.3. Government policy priorities

Further to the non-economic factors, it is important to analyse the Government plans for development that greatly impact on some specific sectors. The Table 4 below is based on the “Strategy of the Export Oriented Industrial Policy of Armenia” adopted by the Government of Armenia on 2011-12-15. Armenia’s new industrial policy is intended to create special investment-friendly tax and customs regimes, provide financial support, assure access to finance and markets, develop institutional capacity, increase competitiveness, and promote market-relevant research and development over the long term. It is expected that by 2013, the growth performance of the diamond and jewelry, watch manufacturing, light industry, and brandy-making industries will improve significantly. It is also expected that new skills and fields will emerge by 2015 in such key industries as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, canned food, wine, mineral water and juice production.

The main advisory bodies and institutions responsible for the Government of Armenia’s export-oriented industrial strategy are the Industrial Council, the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Economy, the sectoral strategy-making councils, and the Armenian Development Agency.

The following rules applied to rank economic sectors expected to have greater importance according to development plans:

Rank 1 – Great importance expected in near future Rank 2 – Greater importance, if certain conditions are fulfilled Rank 3 – Some importance expected in medium term Rank 4 – Some importance expected in long term Rank 5 – No increase in importance expected

2.4. Selected Sectors of standardisation and expected benefits

Based on detailed assessment of priority sectors of Armenian economy, non-economic factors and stakeholders interests and needs in standardisation, SARM made comparative analysis of priorities and formed the following list of standardisation sectors for upcoming three years. All the above mentioned sectors have specific interests to apply modern technologies, ensure safety and quality of goods and services, become internationally competitive and attractive for new investments. We address in our Standardisation plan those interests and will promote the application of appropriate standards. Further, the Annex represents the detailed table of standards proposed for development in the appropriate sectors.

1. Agriculture and Food processing

Agriculture is a major sector for the Armenian economy, accounting for 18% of the country’s GDP for the years 2006-2010. Armenia has a fast growing food processing sector with excellent export potential based on ecologically friendly “green” agro-products. As one of the country’s most developed sectors, and the second in terms of export volumes (14% of the total), food processing plays an important role in the economy. The most important products are canned food production, and alcoholic beverage production, especially wine and brandy made from locally grown grapes.

Armenia’s principal food processing exports are alcoholic beverages, fish, cheese, canned fruits, jams, coffee, and mineral water. Some exporters also ship frozen fruits and vegetables. Armenia’s soil and climate conditions, high altitude, and limited use of chemical fertilizers account for flavorful produce. This produce can be successfully introduced to international markets with modern processing and packaging technologies that currently used to export such Armenian products as soft drinks, mineral water, cigarettes, alcohol, canned fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, and mixed feed.

The Standardisation plans of the previous years have been mostly focused on this sector and in this plan we will continue to explore the opportunities for development of standards with modern technologies and best management practice in the agricultural production and processes.

The main benefit from standardisation work is its contribution to the settling of confidence among the different stakeholders operating in the feed and food sectors. A request becoming more and more important, in particular from consumers, considering the problems encountered recently in the feed and food sectors. In practice all food standards are concerned. For example:

• Management Systems Standards ensure that the foods are safe at the time of consumption,

• Terminology ensures that the different partners communicate without any risk of misunderstanding,

• Methods of test and analysis ensure that the test results provided are reliable and comparable,

• Product specifications ensure that the minimum requirements are the same all over the world and facilitate fair practices in international trade of commodities.

In addition to the benefit mentioned above, harmonization of test methods combined to the development of product specifications reduces the number of analysis to be performed in order

Page 9: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

9

to export to several different countries, therefore opening new markets and reducing costs. Furthermore as the methods of test, up-to-date and answering the needs (regulations as well as consumers' expectations), are publicly available it reduces the cost of the development of products thus contributing to cost saving. The development of internationally accepted standard methods for the detection and determination of genetically modified organisms in food and feed products can be effective tools to remove technical barriers to their trade.

Finally the development of standards for Safety Management Systems ensures that the foods are safe at the time of consumption. With the same reference document all around the world, this avoids, for example, multiple certifications.

For new technologies in food sector, standardization work can provide assurances about the products which build consumer and user confidence. In that field, SARM has published for example several harmonized national standards for the identification and the determination of genetically modified organisms therefore contributing to the enforcement of such regulations.

2. Mining and quarrying

The subsurface of Armenia is rich in certain mineral resources. More than 480 deposits of a range of mineral resources have been discovered here. Mining is a key contributor to the Armenian economy and is one of the fastest growing exporting sectors in recent years, with ores and metals accounting for over half of the country's exports. Armenia has rich deposits of iron, copper, molybdenum, lead, zinc, gold, silver, aluminum, and nepheline syenite.

Currently there are seven coppermolybdenum mines, three copper mines, thirteen gold and gold-polymetalic mines, two polymetalic mines and two iron-ore mines operating in Armenia. Environmental safety is among the key challenges for the sector. In view of this, the Standardisation

Plan will give preference to the standards with most up-to-date and safe technologies for the mine development programs. In particular, sulfide concentrates are produced at various particle sizes having different base metal and moisture contents and other chemical and physical characteristics that are used to evaluate and define the particular properties of the concentrate.

Concentrate price is commonly settled by the base metal content. To evaluate a concentrate consignment, the base metal and moisture contents, as well as the total mass, must be determined.

Therefore, it is imperative have practical sampling and sample preparation methods based on scientific principles to collect and prepare representative samples from a lot. Such samples can then be tested using reliable standard methods for measuring base metal and determination of moisture content.

International Standards prepared by ISO for sampling and chemical analysis ensure fair trade and competitive supply of sulfide concentrates. The ISO standards also take into consideration the environmental impact and the safety and health of workers in the industry.

Benefits expected from the national standardisation activities include the following:

• Development of acceptable and validated standard methods in the most economical, scientific and practical way,

• Elimination, or at least mitigation, of those barriers to sulfide concentrate trade caused by differences in standards, whilst assisting in furthering the aims of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) agreement.

• Ability to respond quickly to the need for new or revised standards resulting from the development of new and improved metal production technologies and instrumentation to measure quality characteristics.

3. Buildings and Construction

Construction is another biggest sector of economy by having in average about 17% contribution to GDP during the last 5 years. It is also ensures the significant employment rate in economy and attract big investments. The efficiency in construction activities, application of modern

Page 10: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

10

technologies for production of contsruction materials, as well as operational safety of employees engaged in various construction activities are among the most important issues that are subject for standardisation.

The building construction industry is well known as the largest industrial employer, and one of its particular characteristics is its function as a generator of employment. The so-called “multiplier effect” is such that 1 person working in the construction industry gives rise to 2 further jobs in other sectors. In Europe, for instance, this means almost 2 million firms directly employing a work force of 11 million. In other continents with less automation, building industry employs even more people and is usually a local activity.

The industry is known for having a low technology level and low profitability. The building construction industry has a great potential for change, higher effectiveness, better profitability and increased international trade. A paradigm shift is currently taking place in the building industry as far as the use of building information models and supporting software is concerned. It is estimated that about 30 % of the building project costs can be eliminated by improving the data handling and information flow between actors and within the process of planning, designing and building.

Established standards for construction have little direct impact upon production, but greater impact on the overall conditions for the industry. These facts have traditionally made the development of the building industry more dependent on the initiatives of governments, industry organizations, research establishments etc., than standardization in other fields, where the industry has more direct benefit from standardization.

The review and implementation of standards will be of great importance in the building construction sector as to:

• terminology • dimensional coordination • performance criteria's • digital framework and a classification system of building construction information for the

open market • lifecycle cost analysis • accessible and usable building design for all • sustainable building construction • processes, procedures and methods for construction procurement systems

The continuing focus on sustainable development issues has particularly highlighted topics concerning:

• environmental declarations of building products • design life of buildings • durability • general principles and responsibilities independent of private and public authorities • guidelines in designing accessibility for all

By the extensive adoption and use of standards in the built environment, considerable savings in time, materials and moneys can be achieved. In addition, application of indoor environment standards will help to assure the health, productivity and well being of building occupants. Healthy, sustainable buildings are those that create high quality indoor environments while minimizing their impacts on the outdoor environment. Emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere could be reduced significantly through the application of International Standards relating to the energy-efficient design of buildings and building mechanical equipment.

SARM will emphasize the measured performance of healthy and sustainable buildings and practical methods for their design, construction, operation and maintenance.

4. Energy

Energy is one of Armenia’s most fully operational and cost-effective sectors, and the country is nearly self-sufficient in energy. Lacking industrial fuel resources, Armenia places a high emphasis on development of its own renewable energy sources, such as hydro, wind and solar

Page 11: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

11

energy. Among the renewable energy sources, the most wide-spread and efficient structures are hydro power plants. However, as stakeholders report, application of modern technologies (standards) for improving operational efficiency thereof is an urgent and demanded issue. Disposal and conservation of the current Nuclear Power Plant and construction of new one is on the agenda of Government, which creates new needs for appropriate safety and efficiency standards.

Developing carbon neutral technologies and making better and more rational use of energy and other natural resources have become essential for sustainable development of our society. In addition, Armenia is going through a process of opening up of utilities markets including those for electricity and gas.

Standardization can play a role in meeting these challenges by promoting best practices, helping the development of renewable energies, improving energy efficiency and providing tools to optimise installations and systems. In a context characterised by liberalisation and the creation of a Armenian market for electricity and other utilities, standardization can also play a role in achieving cost effectiveness, efficiency and quality as well as interoperability and equal access of suppliers to the infrastructure.

Standardization can contribute to this objective by promoting best practices and providing authorities and private organisations with the tools to design sound policies, optimise installations and systems and improve energy efficiency. Standards can also support existing Armenian legislation and policy objectives in the area of energy.

The special attention will be given to the renewable energy sector (water, solar, wind). Large scale use of renewable energy, or RE, is important for the future for several reasons: to eliminate dependence on fossil fuels, to combat global warming, and to raise the living standard of people in Armenia. Much of RE is an emerging field of research, technology and manufacturing and a new industry is growing up.

Standardization helps these technologies to become marketable by providing a foundation for certification systems, promoting international trade of uniform high-quality products and supporting transfer of expertise from traditional energy systems. The very nature of the renewable energy technologies means that standardization requires a dedicated effort to keep pace with developments in the various fields.

It is against this backdrop that SARM is working to set the standards that can serve the country in this market sector. Our mission is to provide technical performance and safety standards in the field of renewable energies as well as certification schemes when needed, thereby providing an essential tool for establishing a quality level to protect customers everywhere.

5. Gas supply

Armenian economy is heavily relies on gas supply from Russia and newly constructed alternative source from Iran. Huge investments have been done by government to construct gas storage facilities and to enlarge the gas supply network for households. Standardisation in this field will be directed on implementation of safety and efficiency standards in gas supply. These standards include terminology, quality specifications, methods of measurement, sampling, analysis and calculation and tests.

These standards are supporting tools for delivery contracts between exploration companies, transportation companies, trading companies, distribution companies and industrial and individual end users. Instead of negotiating natural gas quality and measurement methods for each contrct, easy reference to international standards can be made. Also they serve as supporting tool for regulations in the field of natural gas.

The importance of standards for the natural gas industry is growing with the increasing availability and consumption of natural gas and the increasing international trade in natural gas. International standards are being used to support the liberalization of the gas markets, the energy efficiency, environment protection and safety.

6. Information technology/telecommunications

Page 12: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

12

The information technology (IT) and telecommunications sector is one of the most productive in Armenia. The Government has declared IT a priority and is supporting it through various institutions, such as the IT Development and Support Council, chaired by the Prime Minister, and the Enterprise Incubator Foundation.

Armenia’s IT and telecommunications industry has already attracted global brands such as Synopsis, which has located a considerable part of their operations in Armenia, Microsoft, National Instruments, Mentor Graphics, Ericson, and Orange. Currently, there are more than 300 IT and telecom companies in Armenia.

The world economy is moving from a predominantly industrial society to a new Information Society, and is becoming ever more information-based. It is, therefore, crucial for competitiveness and success in business to improve the systems used to access and distribute information and the technologies that drive them.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applications, such as electronic Invoicing, car navigation or flight booking systems are also radically changing the way companies and governements work or individuals enjoy their leisure time. The promise of the new technologies is real. However, ICT applications will not reach their full potential unless they and their supporting infrastructures are fully interoperable. This is the role of standards.

SARM proposes the production of ICT standards that support the development of open and competitive markets for the benefit of both consumers and industry. During the last three years standardisation in this sector was very active and a big number of wide-used international standards have been adopted.

7. Chemical/Pharmaceutical

Thanks to its tradition of producing high quality chemical products, over the last decade Armenia's pharmaceuticals industry has grown into one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy. Exports account for 57% of output, and average annual export growth has been 24% from 2003. Such growth is based on a skilled and highly educated workforce, enthusiastic and effective entrepreneurs, and significant domestic and foreign direct investment.

However, further increase of sector’s exporting potential should be supported by implementation of international and European standards directed to promotion marketing and quality of produced goods.

In addition, safe access to healthcare for patients is a basic right nowadays. Through its Technical Committees dedicated to healthcare, and notably to medical devices, SARM develops Armenian Standards setting safety, quality and performance requirements for medical devices that are put on the Armenian market. A large number of them also enable manufacturers to make their medical products compliant with the European legislation in the medical sector, for the ultimate benefit of all citizens.

The specific benefits of standardization can be devided as follows:

• Safety of the patient. A performance quality level and the consistency of it over a long period contributes to the quality of medicinal products, diagnostics and administration devices, thus ensuring the patients overall safety.

• Economy. Standardization of components facilitates the availability of those parts world wide and improves the machinability (filling and assembly lines).

• Market access. Harmonised international standards will enable manufacturers in Armenia to export into highly industrialized countries.

• Auditing. Harmonised international standards will provide a common platform for the evaluation of products, set up internationally accepted quality levels, and create a basis for auditing activities, e.g. by notified bodies or test houses.

• Complementary support. Promptly updated standards reflect the state of the art and they complement national regulations. An example is the provision of complementary tests for

13

packaging components, that are typically not included in a Pharmacopoeia, e.g. fragmentation test for rubber closures, penetration force test of infusion sets.

8. Tourism and services

Tourism is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy. With its rich historical, cultural and natural resources, Armenia has the potential to offer attractive and competitive tourism products and highquality services. The number of tourist visits to the country has grown annually by 25% in recent years. In 2011, the number of tourist visits was around 800,000.

Armenia’s tourism policy objectives area are established by the law of the Republic of Armenia “On Tourism and Touristic Activities” and the Tourism Development Plan. However, the most important driver of tourism is the quality of services provided.

Service standards can be used to promote best practices and to spread knowledge throughout the market. Standards can also set benchmarks against which businesses can measure the quality and perfomance of their own services or the services they are purchasing, thus improving competitiveness and increasing efficiency.

9. Electrotechnical sector

As to the Government priorities electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) and low-voltage electronic devices are announced priority sectors for developing harmonized with EU legislation and promote thereof development. New technologies and electronic products based on them further set forth requirements for due consideration of the electrotechnical sector.

The external business environment in EMC standardization is strongly influenced by new technologies and industrial trends that create a hostile „electromagnetic environment“:

• power and microelectronics with increasing operating frequencies,

• increasing density of electrical, electronic and radio communication equipment operating close to each other.

This situation creates strong need for definition and description of the electromagnetic environment and for test and mitigation methods. It is the main objective of SARM to create EMC standards which reflect the needs of modern state of the art electrical and electronic products. These standards and other EMC deliverables shall take into account the continuous changes in the electromagnetic environment and challenges resulting from the introduction of new technologies. In this respect the set of basic immunity standards will be expanded to cover all electromagnetic phenomena relevant for electrical and electronic products and systems. This objective includes the goal to provide user friendly standards to measure emission and to test immunity of products with both aspects considering requirements which are aimed to ensure electromagnetic compatibility of products, systems and installations.

The technologies of data processing, telecommunication, and use and control of electrical energy, among others, are merging. Therefore, the market demands a principle of insulation coordination, which can be applied in each part of an equipment. Modern insulating materials and recent technologies of electrical engineering (e.g. electronic circuitry) call for insulation coordination based on all external conditions: electrical and others.

The advanced functionality becomes possible by using the latest achievements in electronic information and communication technologies. These new technologies may affect the way requirements and testing methods are specified. The most important trends are the following:

• extended use of electronic technologies, like digital signal processing, mixed signal circuits and firmware, which may have to be updated during the life of the equipment;

• changes in network conditions and EMC environments due to the growing use of non-linear loads, power lines and radio communications. On the one hand, this requires advanced measurement algorithms to measure power and power quality parameters. On the other hand, better protection is needed against undue influences.

Page 14: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

14

• an increased use of interoperable communication and IT technologies, including an increased interaction and integration of systems formerly separated, will be common to most of the Smart Measuring technologies.

Also, it becomes more and more necessary to measure different electrical parameters, in order to monitor the required performances in power distribution systems due to:

• installation standards evolutions, for instance, over current detection is now a new requirement for the neutral conductor due to harmonic content;

• technological evolutions (electronic loads, electronic measuring methods, etc.);

• end-users’ needs (cost saving, compliance with aspects of building regulations, etc.);

• safety and continuity of operation of power distribution systems;

• in the field of sub-metering, sustainable development requirements where energy measurement for instance is recognized as an essential element of energy management, part of the overall drive to reduce carbon emissions and to improve the commercial efficiency of manufacturing, commercial organizations and public services.

The standards produced by SARM must be sufficiently flexible to adapt to improvements in manufacturing processes, architectures, materials, and innovations, in order to comply with the user requirements.

10. Ocupational health and safety

Occupational health and safety (OH&S) plays an important role in Armenian legislation and is closely linked with standardisation.

Standardisation contributes to the improvement of working conditions with regard to health and safety, which is a cross-sectoral issue. This concerns in particular those ISO and CEN Technical Committees which develop product standards with OH&S aspects, especially those in support of EU directives for products like machinery, pressure equipment and personal protective equipment. OH&S also concerns ISO and CEN TCs which prepare standards with hazard-oriented generic functions e.g. in the field of noise, vibration, ergonomics or hazardous substances. Standards are an important tool for integrating OH&S aspects into the workplace.

11. Transport: Public transport, road traffic safety

The quality of public passenger trasport services bring many complaints from people. This infrastructure is still requires further government regulation to guarantee safe, efficient and high-quality passenger transport services through regulated competition, guaranteeing also transparency and performance of public passenger transport services, having regard to social, environmental and regional development factors, or to offer specific tariff conditions to certain categories of traveller, such as pensioners, and to eliminate the disparities between transport undertakings from different communities of Armenia which may give rise to substantial distortions of competition.

The standards in the public passenger transport sector will provide with the following benefits for the operating companies:

• A significant shift towards a quality approach in operations across the business

• A new set of quality criteria introduced for every transport mode and area of service

• New tools available for monitoring and assessing service quality

• Constant feedback and identification of problems, allowing immediate corrective action

• A growing focus on customer satisfaction and a quality-oriented culture amongst staff

• Improved punctuality, better information and better service across the network

• Increased revenue through public subsidies as a result of surpassing quality targets.

12. Environmental management

The management of environmental aspects and impacts has established itself as a cornerstone of effective organizational practice alongside the management of quality, security, and health and safety issues. Ongoing concern about environmental issues and sustainable development has significantly affected global practices in recent years as organizations strive to be responsive to government regulations, shareholder concerns and interested parties’ expectations all at the same time.

SARM recognises the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development for current and future generations and therefore believes that all standards must take the environment into consideration.

Standards, whether they are product standards, service standards or process standards, all have an impact on the environment. The environmental impact of a product standard, for example, will vary according to the different stages of the lifecycle that can be distinguished (production, distribution, use and end-of-life). Standardisation can play a major role in reducing environmental impacts by influencing the choices that are made in connection with the design of products and processes.

SARM faces environmental challenges posed by the operational activities of the Armenia Sectors as well as by developments within the Armenian economy.

The adoption of ISO 14001 in 1995 as an international consensus standard served to end the proliferation of national, regional and private versions of environmental management systems. The entire ISO 14000 family of international standards provides management tools for organizations to better manage and communicate about their environmental aspects and to work towards improving their environmental performance and contributing to sustainable development. When used properly, these tools can provide significant advantages and benefits to users in both the private and public sectors, including:

• Improved risk/environmental impacts identification

• Enhanced clarity in understanding requirements and setting objectives and targets

• Greater assurance in meeting regulatory and other requirements

• More specificity in identifying responsibilities and accountabilities

• Increased potential to streamline operations, reduce energy and raw material use and minimize waste generation

• Establishing an environmental strategy that improves environmental performance

• Measuring and communicating improvement in environmental performance

• Promoting an organizational culture that promotes employee involvement

• More consistent and scientifically defensible approach to analyzing product attributes

• Providing consumers with greater assurance of the validity of environmental communications

These advantages and benefits contribute directly and indirectly to the organization’s commitments to environmental performance and sustainable development.

13. Conformity assessment

Conformity assessment is the process used to show that a product, service or system meets specified requirements. These requirements are likely to be contained in a standard.

Showing that a product, service or system meets certain requirements has a number of benefits for trade relations:

• It provides consumers with added confidence.

• It gives the company a competitive edge.

• It helps regulators ensure that health, safety or environmental conditions are met.

Page 16: NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM -TERM PLAN National... · 2019. 5. 2. · NATIONAL STANDARTS DEVELOPMENT MEDIUM FOR 2013 This document has been developed by SARM based on Armenia

16

The main forms of conformity assessment are certification, inspection and testing.

The conformity assessment system in Armenia has undergone major changes during the last two years in the framework of quality infrastructure reforms. The Government has shifted from mandatory to voluntary sertification schemes, and harmonisation of all conformity assessment structures to the EU practices has been initiated. The majority of ISO/CASCO standards are currently in revision too. Thus, it is a challenge for standardisation to keep the appropriate standards updated and to adopt new standards in the field so as to assist government reforms and decision making with good knowledge basis and best management practices.

The National standardisation plan considers the complete review of existing conformity assessment field standards and adoption of new modern standards in this field.

14. Financial services

Financial services includes depository institutions, which traditionally are recognized as financial institutions, non-depository institutions or finance companies, consumer and commercial lenders that raise funds in the capital markets, the buy and sell side of the securities markets, private equity firms, mutual fund complexes, central banks, electronic clearing networks and other financial intermediaries, and mortgage and insurance companies. Financial intermediations are one of the most important priority sectors of Armenian economy and represent 4% contribution to GDP. Thus, the application of international practices and knowledge in the field is considered important in terms of standardisation.

Standardization in the field of core banking covers banking functions, customer to bank interfaces, deposit taking, lending, account maintenance and payments.

Standards relative to payment instruments address operations from payment initiation through clearing of payment instructions and reporting. They include the financial operations via card and other digital media used for electronic financial services.

Lending includes the specialist lending associated with Trade Finance and Treasury operations through to consumer lending in all its forms or lending associated with credit cards.

Rapid advances in computer systems and networking allow financial institutions to record, store, and retrieve vast amounts of customer data with more speed and efficiency than ever before. These advances enable financial services companies and their business partners to use both existing and new technologies in new ways to acquire and process consumer data. New channels such as the Internet and Mobile phones introduce new actors in the processing chain.

With these new abilities, information can be processed in ways that unintentionally impinge on the privacy rights of their customers and partners. These capabilities raise concerns about the privacy of individuals and companies throughout the financial services processing environments from point of sale environments to large networked data processing centre environments.

Furthermore, regulated industries such as financial services have legal and regulatory requirements that now place additional conditions on technical decisions approaches to how personal information is collected, stored, shared, and used. In particular the location of data in safe harbors is required and the access to the information by its owner must be granted.

The financial services community recognizes how important it is to protect and not abuse their customers’ privacy, not just because it is required by law, but also because as systems are developed or updated there is an opportunity to enhance business processes and to provide improved services to customers. For the financial services community standardized technologies and processes serve as tools to proactively address privacy principles and practices that facilitate compliance, mitigate risk and become sound business practice.

The full and complete Standards Development Plan is provided in Annex. It specifies the names

and numbers of appropriate standards that need to be developed by each chosen sector. The

plan is devided by years – according to the priorities of standards and available resources.

3. NEEDED HUMAN RESOURCES

3.1 Human Resources by Type of Work Item and Category

The Table 6 below provides with calculations of total work load per sector of standardisation.

First of all, the table uses term “Standards Officer (SO)”. This is a generic term for three kind of

activities:

a) Preliminary evaluation of national standard development needs and checking

compliance with legislation, technical specialist,

b) translation and editting of standard,

c) activities of secretary of the Technical Committee.

Usually these activities should be carried out by different persons, as they differ by time and

specifics of work. However, in that case the number of required personnel increase, and

sometimes the work load is not equally shared among different staff members. People who

engaged in standard development as SARM employees have adequate skills and

understanding of all the three functions and, actually each specialist is capable of

implementation of all the three functions simultaneously.

Moreover, the activities of TC secretaries do not require big time and concentration. The editting

and preliminary evaluation of needs are usually performed within TC members, and only a little

concentration required for final design of the adopting standard according to defined criteria.

Thus, the biggest time and concentration is required for the carefull translation of standards into

Armenian.

In this Standards Development Plan we consider a Standards Officer as a person, who is

eligible to perform all the above mentioned tasks in the assigned to him sector of

standardisation.

The types of work are also classified as Adoption (Ad), Evaluation of expediancy (Ev), Active

participation in the international or regional TC for development of appropriate standard (Ac),

and Monitoring of the international and/or regional standardisation activities in the given field

(Mo). As a basis of calculations the number of pages of the standard is considered. Thus, based

on the previous eperience of standard development during the last three years, we have set the

man-days rates per each category of work (Ad, Ev, Ac, Mo). The column with total man-days

represent the sum of products of appropriate number of pages and man-days rates of each

category of work per the sector.

Finally, the work load of SOs is calculated by deviding the total number of man-days per sector

to the total number of available working days per 3 years, which is 660 days. The number of

available working days per year is taken as 220 days, by taking into consideration of all week-

end days, vacation days, leave days and hollidays.

The numbers of required Sos in the table sometimes are not round. For example, the 1.5 SOs for

the 1st Year in the “Building and Construction” sector means that there is a need to engage one

full-time and only in this sector involved SO and one half-time SO. The latter will spend the rest of

his/her time on other sector, e.g. “Tourism and Services” sector standards development.
