Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization
Message of the Arab Standardization Day 25 March 2026
"Unified Standards for an Integrated Arab Economy"
The Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization (AIDSMO), along with the Arab Standardization Bodies commemorate the yearly Arab Standardization Day on March 25th, to contribute to the outreach efforts and emphasize the role of standardization, as it constitutes a fundamental element in enhancing consumer safety by ensuring that products meet quality and safety requirements.
This year, the Arab standardization bodies opted for “Unified Standards for an Integrated Arab Economy” as a slogan. This stems from their belief in the pivotal role that standards perform in upgrading goods and services quality and guaranteeing the highest levels of reliability in various sectors.
This slogan underscores the relevance of coordination and collaboration among Arab standardization bodies so as to develop and adopt unified Arab standards that boost competitiveness and foster a strong, integrated Arab economy, since unified standards serve as a cornerstone for creating an Arab market capable of keeping abreast of global changes, while facilitating smooth flow of inter-Arab trade, and reducing pertinent technical barriers.
In this connection, the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining Organization (AIDSMO) furthers its earnest endeavors, in cooperation with all relevant bodies to issue Arab standards and technical regulations through specialized technical committees in areas of significance for trade among Arab States, thus contributing to economic integration in the region and upholding the joint Arab action.
On this occasion, AIDSMO extends its sincere thanks and congratulations to the heads of Arab standardization bodies and all their employees, in recognition of their dedicated efforts to advance the theme of the Arab Standardization Day, and for their vital role in highlighting the importance of standardization and its contribution to the promotion of sustainable development in Arab States.
Eng. Adel Saqer Al-Saqer
