Ukraine is speeding up the implementation of the Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Goods (ACAA).

By the end of 2022 already, our country can adopt about 26 000 European standards.

This was agreed upon by specialists of the State enterprise "UkrNDNC" (Ukrainian Research and Training Center for Standardization, Certification and Quality Issues) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Electrotechnical Committee for Standardization (CENELEC).

At the closed Assembly, European colleagues discussed and supported two important decisions regarding Ukraine:

exempt Ukraine from paying membership fees until the end of 2022 and in 2023 ( 27 950 EUR for CEN and 27 950 EUR for CENELEC a year);

changes the status of Ukraine in CEN-CENELEC from a companion organization to the status of an affiliated member from January 1, 2023.

The adoption and implementation of European standards in the Ukrainian economy will allow to faster ratify ACAA Agreement. In 2023, Ukraine plans to prepare all the necessary documents and submit an application to become a full member of CEN-CENELEC.
