Why the professional management of standards requires a reliable tool

The accredited testing laboratory Eurofins relies on effects 2.0 for managing standards. Traceable analyses require standardized specifications and have to be reproducible. The basis for them is provided by standards. When hundreds or thousands of documents are used, it is difficult to keep track of whether standards are available in the current, effective version. With its optional add-ons, effects 2.0 manages all your standards and ensures their documented, legally compliant utilization. Learn from our satisfied customer why Austrian Standards is the ideal partner for the efficient management of standards.

Upon request, Austrian Standards can perform a validity analysis of your portfolio of standards and normative documents. You are recommended to do this when you set up your effects 2.0.

Up to 30% discount on ÖNORM standards
