- Abstract:
- The article addresses the significance of metrology and metrology-related functions (standards, conformity assessment and accreditation) for international trade. The paper highlights the most relevant results of the recent revision of the European regulation for the free movement of goods, which aims to remove the still existing obstacles for the free circulation of products within the Community and to enhance the protection of legitimate interests like health, safety and environment. In this context, this study proposes a survey to be conducted among internationally recognized experts in metrology and regulation to assess the effectiveness of the applicable European legislation.
