3、d objectives and concept . Brief History This ECMA Technical Report is intended to compare at high level different countries / regions of the world from the point of view of acceptance of international standards. This ECMA TR intends to: create visibility for different regulations implementations; e
4、ncourage countries on the verge of implementing something to follow the “good” examples; help countries in their effort to remove barriers to business. This ECMA TR will be updated regularly. Between updates, the last minute situation will be available on the ECMA web site (www.ecma.ch). This ECMA T
5、echnical Report has been adopted by the ECMA General Assembly of June 2001. - i - Table of contents 1 Scope 1 2 Benefits 1 2.1 Benefits to governments 1 2.2 Benefits to industry 1 2.3 Benefits to consumers 1 3 Acronyms and abbreviations 2 4 Current scorecard 2 1 Scope The industry objective of 11SDo
6、C is to achieve the global acceptance of a Declaration of Conformity from suppliers and manufacturers, independent where the test data (1 Test) for a product was generated. This is only possible, if technical and quality requirements find worldwide agreement, for example based on International Stand
7、ards (1 Standard). The ideal situation from an industry viewpoint: a product is qualified against international accepted standards, the party testing the product adheres to international agreed quality standards, the supplier affixes his trade mark. There is no need for pre-market certification. 2 B
8、enefits The One Standard-One Test, Suppliers Declaration of Conformity Model provides benefits to governments, industry and consumers and maintains safety and protection. The One Standard-One Test, Suppliers Declaration of Conformity Model may not be appropriate in all cases. However, the model is p
9、articularly appropriate for EMC, telecom and product safety regulations for ITE and telecommunication products. 2.1 Benefits to governments Many governments today rely on a “pre-market surveillance“ system that requires products to be tested and certified either within their own borders or by a reco
10、gnised third party. This system is labour intensive, punishes good companies, and fails to expose bad companies who can “game“ the system. A post-market surveillance system allows governments to make more efficient use of scarce government resources by developing a system that assures protection for
11、 health and safety. Ultimately, governments would avoid the costly and time-consuming process of negotiating and maintaining numerous bilateral testing and certification agreements with a global agreement to accept one standard-one test, suppliers declaration of conformity. 2.2 Benefits to industry
12、Anywhere from two weeks to several months will be cut from the time a product is ready for sale and the time it is approved for sale in a given country - a major savings in time-to-market given the six to twelve month product cycles typical in the IT industry. Manufacturers compliance costs will be
13、reduced. Estimates suggest that removing the duplicative IT standards; testing and conformity assessment requirements could provide sizeable welfare gains of up to $47 billion for the world. 2.3 Benefits to consumers Through a well-managed system that relies on Suppliers Declaration of Conformity an
14、d post-market surveillance, consumers can be assured that they are purchasing safe, non-interfering products that have been tested and will perform to the international safety and EMC standards. The products they buy will not have to reflect the cost of multiple testing and certification. More manuf
15、acturers, especially the small manufacturers, will be able to import products, providing consumers with more choices and latest technologies. - 2 - 3 Acronyms and abbreviations 11SDoC One standard, one test, Suppliers Declaration of Conformity JATE Japanese Association for Telecommunication Equipmen
