Description

The goal of the project is to establish product testing infrastructure and processes in Latvian National Association for Consumer Protection (PIAA) and to start the actual product testing.

Within the framework of the project PIAA will receive the knowledge and skills necessary for running the product testing operations; create infrastructure necessary for product testing (webpage, personnel) and processes; start testing products and offer test results to consumers; - include the product testing into the organisation''s strategy as a long-term development priority.

In a long-term perspective, PIAA will be able to offer consumers high quality product tests and receive income from selling test results, which would cover not only testing costs, but also provide financing for other activities of PIAA thus reducing PIAA''s reliance on the project financing.
