The constantly increasing demands of the domestic, European and Global market for high-quality products and services, mandates besides the certification of production systems, the certification of professional skills of individuals as well. For this reason, International and European Standards were established that determine the frameworks of certifications, which apply on a global level and are used to demarcate the requirements of the market and legislation.
