7 2007 © PASC Slide 7APEC SCSC-SRB Workshop / 23 June, 2007 – Cairns, Australia Objectives of PASC 1.Strengthen international standardization programmes of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and to improve the ability of Pacific Rim standards organizations to participate in these programmes effectively 2.Improve the quality and capacity of standardization in economies of the region 3.Support free trade within the region and with economies in other regions 4.Support improvement of economic efficiency and development of the region through the promotion of standardization 5.Interact with other bodies that represent elements of the standardization technical infrastructure, industry, consumers and government

8 2007 © PASC Slide 8APEC SCSC-SRB Workshop / 23 June, 2007 – Cairns, Australia Asia Pacific Approach to Standardization Cooperation Model vs. Union Model (the ‘C’ in APEC) –Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down Focus is regional support toward a single (and open) global market vs. support of a single regional internal market Neither PASC nor APEC develop Asia Pacific Regional Standards … and implement them top down Rather, each APEC member is dedicated to clearly identifying - in full transparency - all of the mandatory, voluntary, and conformity requirements to access their market This deliberate approach not only facilitates trade within (and to and from) the region through improved market access, but it is a trade and innovative friendly approach that allows each economy to converge toward common standards (1:1:1) at a pace appropriate for their industries, consumers, governments and other stakeholders
