IMANOR is: What? Why? How? Advantages?

Standardization What? Document the expertise and international best practices Practical solutions to technical and commercial problems Production methods and organization of activities Tools for testing, verification and conformity assessment Resulting document of agreement and consensus between the parties with divergent interests Technical reference for the Regulation

Standardization Why? To understand the requirements of the market and improve competitiveness; To control the quality of production and overcome the associated risks, So you can reassure your customers ; So you can judge your suppliers ; To increase the chances of access to public markets; be in advance in conformity with technical regulations; be able to certify its products and management systems.

Standardization How? Need a new standard? Propose a standard draft Discussion and consensus among concerned parties Public enquiry/ validation Publication Dissemination and popularization Updating

Standardization Advantages A hundred technical standardization committees including concerned parties; More than 12,000 mainly Moroccan standards in line with international standards A thousand experts in different sectors of business; The direct participation of 10 ministries; Active participation of professional organizations.
