Bab 3 - Penerapan Standar

Summary

This transcript discusses the implementation of standards for goods, services, systems, processes, and personnel. Standards can be adopted voluntarily or mandatorily, with examples like ISO 9001 and SNI standards for various products. When mandatory, standards aim to protect public safety, health, and the environment. The WTO requires notification before countries impose mandatory standards to prevent trade barriers. The process includes policy preparation, technical regulations, notifications, and evaluations. An example of a mandatory standard is the SNI for motor vehicle tires. Non-compliance can result in penalties such as business license revocation or imprisonment.
