In Astana, the EAEU and Central Asian countries discussed the future of digital accreditation 30.06.2026
An international forum titled "Innovation, Trust, and Sustainability: The Impact of Accreditation" was held in the capital of Kazakhstan, timed to coincide with World Accreditation Day. The platform brought together representatives of the Eurasian Economic Commission, accreditation bodies of the EAEU countries, as well as delegates from Uzbekistan and China.The main topics of the forum were the digitalization of conformity assessment processes, the development of international cooperation, and the strengthening of product quality control in the common Eurasian market.The forum featured a keynote speech by the First Vice-Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Aizhan Bizhanova. She emphasized that today, accreditation extends far beyond a technical procedure and is becoming a crucial tool for economic sustainability, international trade, and consumer protection."Accreditation has long ceased to be merely a technical tool for conformity assessment. It is an important element of international trade, investment attractiveness, and the economic sustainability of a state. Behind every certificate, test report, and standard lie people's safety, quality of life, and consumer confidence in the products they purchase. Relying on best international practices, we are consistently transitioning to a new model - from simple control to risk management and digital traceability," noted Aizhan Bizhanova.Today, there are over 1700 accredited entities operating in Kazakhstan, and the national accreditation system continues to demonstrate steady growth. This year, Kazakhstan also chairs the Council of Heads of Accreditation Bodies of the EAEU states, promoting initiatives to form a unified digital space of trust.Participants paid special attention to the development of Smart Labs - laboratories with digital integration of equipment. Modern technologies already allow for the automatic transfer of test results, recording of parameters without operator involvement, preserving a digital footprint of all actions, and minimizing the influence of the human factor.The General Director of the National Accreditation Center, Iskander Khamitov, noted that countries in the region are currently moving towards unified approaches in matters of trust and recognition of conformity assessment results."Kazakhstan not only sets ambitious goals for developing the national accreditation system, digitalizing processes, and strengthening international trust but also consistently implements them in practice.
