szabványügyi

Szabványügyi, in Hungarian usage, refers to the field and activities surrounding standardization. It encompasses the development, publication, management, and application of standards, as well as related normative documents such as guidelines and technical rules. Szabványügyi work also includes conformity assessment, testing, calibration, and metrology that verify compliance with standards. The aim is to ensure safety, interoperability, quality, and reliability of products, services, and processes, while facilitating fair competition and reducing technical barriers to trade.

In practice, szabványügyi processes are coordinated by national standardization bodies and involve collaboration with international and regional organizations. Internationally, standardization activities align with bodies such as ISO and IEC, and European frameworks like CEN and CENELEC. Standards may be voluntary or referenced by law, and they often influence public procurement, product labeling, certification schemes, and regulatory compliance. The standardization system emphasizes participation by industry, government, researchers, and consumer representatives to reflect diverse perspectives.

In Hungary, the term is commonly used to describe activities, institutions, and professionals engaged in standardization and related areas. Hungarian szabványügyi work participates in international standardization efforts and adapts global standards to national contexts, ensuring compatibility with European and global markets. The field intersects with quality management, regulation, and metrology, supporting safety, innovation, and consumer protection across sectors such as manufacturing, construction, information technology, and environmental management.
