On 28 May in Astana, Alexander Subbotin, Minister in charge of Technical Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in the thematic session titled “Digital Product Safety Ecosystem: Platform Solutions and Prospects for the Economy” held as part of the 5th Eurasian Economic Forum.
Participants discussed the possibilities of applying digital technologies and artificial intelligence in the field of technical regulation across the EAEU member states.
The session addressed the progress of the “Digital Technical Regulation within the EAEU” project, current objectives for the further development of digital tools, and the practical significance of the project for the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, businesses, and the expert community.
Special attention was paid to digital platforms, product classification, cataloguing, the application of AI, as well as issues related to international digital standardisation.
“The participants in the discussion came to a common conclusion that the digitalisation of technical regulation is no longer an abstract idea, but a practical instrument that will simplify operations, enhance the transparency of all processes, and make regulation more flexible and modern,” noted Alexander Subbotin.
The discussion platform brought together representatives of профильных government agencies and business circles from the EAEU member states, as well as international organisations.
Speakers included representatives of the State Committee for Standardisation of the Republic of Belarus, the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the International Electrotechnical Commission.
