Abstract

This Law, consisting of 20 articles divided into four Chapters, creates the National Quality System (SINAQ). It establishes the structuring framework for carrying out activities linked to the development, guarantee and demonstration of the quality of products and services, according to a set of nationally and internationally accepted management procedures. This Law applies to natural and legal persons under public and private law who carry out activities related to metrology, standardization, conformity assessment, accreditation, preparation of technical regulations and sanitary and phytosanitary measures in the national territory. In addition, it regulates the entities that make up SINAQ, namely the National Quality Council (CONQUA), and the Government's consultation body responsible for coordinating the implementation of the Quality Policy.
