On 18 September, First Secretary of Slovak Embassy in Tashkent Marcel Karaba handed over accreditation certificate to head of CERT INTERNATIONAL Marat Habibullin.

It was said that this will serve as strong stimulus to development of export potential of Uzbekistan through raising trust of foreign importers to the Uzbek products.

After successful accreditation in Europe, CERT INTERNATIONAL will be able to present certificates, which will be accepted in 58 states, including all countries of European Union, Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, South Korea and other economically developed countries.

There are over 20 certification bodies, which have right only right national ISO certificates and they are not widely recognized worldwide.

That’s why, export-oriented enterprises had to order expensive international audits from foreign certification bodies. This results in various expenses.

Now, local companies of Uzbekistan can receive local ISO certificate, which will be recognized worldwide. The audit will be conducted by local specialists and decision on issuing certificate will be taken in Uzbekistan.

CERT INTERNATIONAL said it is holding negotiation on opening offices in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia as SNAS accreditation provides right to render services in any country.
