Moldova

Moldova, officially the Republic of Moldova, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Romania and Ukraine. Its economy is primarily based on agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, energy, and services, with increasing focus on international trade and regulatory compliance. To support economic growth, Moldova aligns its conformity assessment and quality infrastructure with internationally recognized standards.

Moldova participates in global standardization and accreditation frameworks through organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International body, and the International Laboratory association

Although Moldova is developing its national accreditation infrastructure, many conformity assessment activities—including testing, inspection, certification, and GHG validation—are supported through international or regional accreditation bodies. This ensures that activities conducted in Moldova meet global standards for competence, impartiality, and technical reliability, facilitating regulatory compliance and international market access.
