Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of requirements of the International Organization for Standardization, other intergovernmental organizations and Canada’s national requirements for standardization as a means of confirming the quality and innovation of products. The analysis revealed the peculiarities and regularities in the legal regulation of standardization at the international level. Considerable attention was paid to the analysis of the economic and legal provision of standardization in Canada, where the high-quality application of modern rules of standardization by business entities significantly increased the quality of products at the microeconomic level and the main macroeconomic indicators at the state level through the introduction of innovations as standards. The GDP of other economically developed countries increased due to the application of modern standards. The analysis carried out using comparative studies, statistical and economic comparison and modeling provided an opportunity to formulate the basic principles of developing a national standardization system in Ukraine. They include voluntariness and freedom of standardization; support and updating of legislation; balancing between the requirements that determine the essential requirements for human health, environmental safety and product quality, and self-regulation for the business entity; utility and efficiency of standards in determining responsibility; assisting a consumer or other interested person to determine whether the product is faultless; provision of the right of parties to the contractor an end-user to eliminate the malfunction, delivery of a faultless product or compensation for any losses incurred due to lack of guaranteed characteristics; popularization of the standardization for economic entities.
