This year marks the 89th anniversary of the first steps towards the institutionalisation of standardization in our region. After many decades and numerous transformations following historical events, the Institute for Standardization of Serbia has been the only national standardization body in the Republic of Serbia since 2007.
To remember its beginnings, to continue a long tradition, but also to emphasize the value of standardization on a global scale, the Institute celebrates the Day of ISS and World Standards Day at the same time each year. At the ceremony organised at the Institute in honour of national and world standardization, awards were presented to the most deserving staff members of the Institute.
The ceremony was attended by representatives of the institutions with which the Institute cooperates most closely: the Ministry of Economy, the Accreditation Body of Serbia, as well as the Management and the Supervisory Board of the Institute. The guests were welcomed by Tatjana Bojanić, Director of the Institute, and then addressed by Mr. Nikola Vitas, Acting Deputy Minister of Economy, and Mrs. Tanja Petrović from the Ministry of Economy, President of the Assembly of the Institute.
