Dear friends! I congratulate you on the day of standardization and the 20th anniversary of the Institute!

Every year on October 14, the World celebrates standards day, and Kazakhstan is no exception. Nowadays, standardization is one of the most important factors for successful cooperation between countries and the formation of a positive image of the country on the world stage. Standardization directly affects the socio-economic development of the country.

Every year this professional holiday is held under a certain theme. This year's motto has a global significance - "Protecting the planet through standards!» The motto puts a lot of meaning into the importance of creating common standards.

On this day, we pay tribute to the efforts of Kazakhstani experts who develop standards, improving the life of society and protecting the planet on a daily basis.

To effectively address these global challenges, it is important for all of us to remember that success in big things is not the result of a successful combination of circumstances. First of all, they are predetermined by how professionally, responsibly and conscientiously each specialist does his work. And certainly without personal involvement and interest, without understanding how much depends on the quality of small, sometimes routine cases, no strategy or plan is implemented!

The main thing is to achieve success systematically, together and with confidence in the result.

On my own behalf, I would like to congratulate all employees of the Kazakhstan Institute of standardization and certification – the National standardization body-on their 20th anniversary! I wish you success and new achievements in your work - and may it bring not only high social benefits, but also joy and professional satisfaction! I wish you good health, happiness, great professional and personal achievements!
