Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Tue May 09 03:50:25 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 14873-1:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is the first part of a two-part standard, intended to establish a minimum level of service and performance, in enterprises de

24、aling with the storage of furniture and personal effects, for private individuals. Together with Part 2 and EN 12522-1 and EN 12522-2 Furniture removal activities- Furniture removal for private individuals, it forms a suite of European Standards that specify a minimum standard of services and facili

25、ties for the removal and storage of household furniture and effects for private individuals that should be available on an equal basis, across the European Community. Within each activity, it has been necessary to make a distinction between the “service“ on the one hand, and the “provision of the se

26、rvice“ on the other: the service: all the services agreed upon between the service provider and the customer within the framework of the contract; include characteristics which allow this said service to be assessed; provision of the service: all the factors employed by the service provider which in

27、clude the personnel, the equipment, the organization and the budget with a view to carrying out the service. The systems of reference constitute a beneficial means of achieving the following objectives: create a dialogue with the consumers which is favourable to the profession; permit customers to i

28、dentify and compare the services offered by companies in order to benefit from the positive spin-off of fair competition in an open market; protect customers against provision of services, the characteristics of which may not be in compliance with the standards; allow the professionals of the trade

29、to conduct their activity with the aid of technical specifications that are clearly defined by a common understanding; finally, as regards the single market, to allow the activity to position itself efficiently in order to meet the needs of the European customer by having at its disposal, in particu

30、lar, harmonized general conditions of contract.
