Traduction de «Association Suisse pour Certificats d'Assurance Qualité » (Français → Anglais) :

Deposit insurance in Switzerland is privately run by the banks in conjunction with the Swiss Bankers Association.

The New Brunswick Potato Shippers Association, with the help of the other organizations, is leading an effort to set up a C-PIQ program, Canadian Partners in Quality, for shipping potatoes to the U.S. If this works, it will save millions of dollars and a tremendous amount of time.

The association may include cooperation in the fields of technical regulation for goods, standardisation, conformity assessment, accreditation, market surveillance and quality assurance with a view to removing unnecessary technical barriers to trade between the Union and the OCTs and to reduce differences in those areas.
