The Spanish Association for Standardization, UNE, and the Standardization Administration of China, SAC, have renewed an MOU to continue harmonising standards between both countries with the aim of facilitating exports by Spanish companies to the Chinese market.
The agreement was signed at UNE headquarters by the UNE Director General and ISO vice-president, Javier García, and Mr. Liu Jun, vice minister of SAMR/SAC State Administration for Market Regulation/Standardization Administration of China.
This meeting represents a further example of the commitment and positive relations between the Chinese government and the Spanish government. This is a demonstration of the joint efforts to improve alliances and agreements that make it possible to advance relations and action protocols for both countries.
With this initiative, within the framework of the UNE 2025 Strategy, the Spanish standardization body will continue to promote the adoption of the ISO and IEC international standards in China and the removal of technical barriers to trade, establishing new channels of cooperation between both entities. It also offers SAC the catalogue of Spanish standards, which includes more than 37,000 standards.
UNE is working on the development of this type of agreement with its counterparts in other countries, thus encouraging trade.
