26、ffects, for private individuals. Together with Part 1 and EN 12522-1 and EN 12522-2 Furniture removal activities- Furniture removal for private individuals, it forms a suite of European Standards developed to ensure that appropriate, minimum, standard of services and facilities for the removal and s
27、torage of household furniture and effects for private individuals are 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 service“ on the other: the service: all
28、 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 include the personnel, the equipment, t
29、he 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 identify and compare the services offe
30、red 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 to conduct their activity with the ai
31、d 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 particular, harmonized general conditions of
32、 contract.
