The International Federation of Standards Users (IFAN) continues to strengthen its engagement with the global standards community through new partnerships and outreach initiatives. Recent developments include a cooperation agreement with IQNET and the continued growth of the IFAN podcast, which provides a platform for standards users and experts from around the world to share their experiences and insights.
IFAN and IQNET Sign Cooperation Agreement
During the CEN and CENELEC General Assemblies held in Cyprus in June, the International Federation of Standards Users and IQNET signed a cooperation agreement, marking the beginning of a new strategic partnership.
The agreement reflects a shared commitment to strengthening collaboration between the standards user community and the global conformity assessment network. Through this partnership, IFAN and IQNET will work together to promote the value of standards, exchange knowledge and expertise, and support initiatives that encourage the effective implementation of standards across industries and markets.
