Welcome to the General Assembly of ISO
the international organization for standardization.
We are here today with Yanira Colindres
Director of the Salvadorean standardization body (OSN)
who tells us why El Salvador has just upgraded their ISO membership
from correspondent to full member
and what are the benefits they expect to achieve from this change.
El Salvador is undergoing fundamental changes
the introduction of the Salvadoran law on quality
gave life to national standards body OSN
so far El Salvador has been an spectator in standardization
limited to implement and adopt international standards
but not making any active contribution.
The different sectors feel already committed to standardization
and would like to offer their technical contribution to international standardization
We are also looking to empower
consumers, academia, industry and researchers through
participation in international standardization.
There are different challenges that we want to address by participating
as well as reduce the risks related to climate change, security and principally quality aspects.
We want to empower our country
and help the region become a leader in quality.
