Quality Infrastructure in Turkey
ACCREDITATION
CA sector is open to private testing, inspection
and certification bodies. Turkey has designated
36 notified bodies.
Turkey had no accreditation institute. TÜRKAK is recognized for all fields of
accreditation under ILAC, IAF, and EA.
STANDARDIZATION
Limited number of international standards
were in force and TSE was not included in
the European standardization system
TSE has harmonized 98% of EU standards and
become full member of CEN/CENELEC.
CONFORMITY
ASSESSMENT
The sector was backwards, CA was
conducted as a public service
No notified bodies (CE Marking)
METROLOGY Confusion about the roles of different
institutions responsible for scientific,
industrial and legal metrology.
Clear-cut divison of labor between relevant
institutions in accordance with the European
Union.

Consequences of Legislative Alignment with EU
• Turkey has substantially replaced its national regulations and standards with that of
EU’s.
• Profound improvement in Turkey’s standardization, conformity assessment,
accreditation, metrology, import controls and market surveillance policies, which was
necessary to implement the European system.
• In the sectors for which Turkey has aligned its legislation with that of the EU, a
product lawfully manufactured and/or marketed in Turkey should be treated equal to
the EU originating products. (Blue Guide, p. 23).
• The same reasoning would apply in the non-harmonised sectors where Turkey has
aligned its legislation with Articles 34-36 TFEU. (Blue Guide, p. 23).

Use of international Standards and Guides
Standardization is a key element to push up the capacities of export.
It is a necessary process for ensuring effectiveness in any product.
The Ministry of Economy of Turkey
The international standards are
strategic tools that reduce the costs
by minimizing waste and errors.
In WTO TBT agreement, the use of
international standards and
membership of ISO are strongly
recommended. In preparing national standards depending on international standards, national adaptations
deriving from differences in geographical and climatic factors and technological level of the
industry are taken into account to the extent that original international standards allow.

Problems:
• No common standards in Muslim
countries
• Inadequate mutual recognition of
certification.

Accordingly, about %60 of Intra-OIC trade
(mainly food sector) could be subject to halal
certification

Conclusion and Remarks
18 The Ministry of Economy of Turkey
To effectively eliminate technical barriers to trade, the development of «quality infrastructure» is essential among OIC members because it is a prerequisite for the efficient and effective development of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures.
Enhancing the quality infrastructure of OIC Countries will contribute to growth of export volume and economic development in the region. It has been vital to take steps in order to establish a powerful standardization infrastructure between OIC member countries.
To facilitate trade, the compliance with international standards and participation in international standards bodies are necessary and recommended.
Halal standards exist in many Islamic Countries and certification according to those Halal standards contradicts the idea of removing technical barriers to trade among OIC Member States and entire world. SMIIC is the competent and effective entity for establishing a common standard and certification scheme amongst OIC member States.
Turkey is ready to extend its efforts to realize cooperative activities with the aim of exchanging of information and experience on technical legislation, facilitate the solution of technical barriers to trade, and provide a basis to develop technical cooperation between the parties' bodies responsible for standardization, accreditation and metrology.
