DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION AND STANDARDIZATION SYSTEMS IN UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This article comprehensively examines the role and significance of international certification and standardization systems in the context of the modern global economy, as well as their impact on enterprise competitiveness and innovative development. International standards—particularly ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO/IEC 27001—are regarded as important institutional mechanisms for enhancing organizational performance, improving quality management systems, ensuring environmental sustainability, and strengthening information security. The article presents a statistical analysis of the number of certificates across different countries, discusses the practical application of ISO standards, explores scholarly approaches within the framework of institutional voids theory, and analyzes the advantages and challenges of implementing international standards in enterprises in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
