Global Project Quality Infrastructure (GPQI): Maintaining Quality through Conformity Assessment and Accreditation in Indonesia and Germany

On November 2nd, EuroCham was invited to the Global Project Quality Infrastructure (GPQI) event with a theme of Maintaining Quality through Conformity Assessment and Accreditation in Indonesia and Germany. The event is an online exchange about conformity assessment and accreditation focusing on Germany and Indonesia. This exchange was crucial for strengthening bilateral cooperation and improving mutual understanding in order to minimize barriers to trade.

Mr. Volkmar Stein from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz – BMWK) opened the exchange. He underlined the importance of an embedded and internationally linked accreditation system. Mutually recognized accreditation means that consumers can trust the quality of the products without having to worry about their origin. In addition, Mr. Enuh Rosdeni from the Indonesian Ministry of Industry (Kementerian Perindustrian - MoI) highlighted the competitiveness and increased confidence companies gain from the conformity assessment process, as it opens new markets and opportunities. He also expressed his delight at the continued cooperation between Germany and Indonesia after the signing of the Joint Declaration of Intent last year.
