bodies, 5 service certification bodies and one quality management
system certification body were accredited in Armenia. Robert Dayan,
Head of the Standardization, Metrology and Conformity Certification
Department of the RA Ministry of Trade and Economic Development,
stated this at the December 20 press conference. At the present
time 22 certification bodies and 67 experimental laboratories
function in Armenia. In the words of R. Dayan, in 2006, 22 bids
for production certification were rejected by certification bodies,
including 13 bids due to non-conformity to requirements of technical
regulations. It was noted that in 2006, work on modernization of the
experimental basis and purchase of modern laboratory equipment was
done in Armenia. Particularly, a modern movable laboratory for oil
products testing was purchased with state budget resources, which
allowed to control the correspondence of car gasoline safety indices
to the technical regulations' requirements. According to R. Dayan,
the work on re-equipment of laboratories of the National Institute
of Standards and the National Institute of Metrology with credit
resources of the World bank is in the phase of completion.
