An action which allows to provide the same level of quality for all products is harmonization. As a rule harmonization is achieved by implementation of EU directives, which should by placed in the legal system of the Member States. But focus only on product quality may lead to generating large costs restraining economic development. Normalization should prevent this phenomenon. Normalization is a deliberate action adjusted to achieve saving, users interests and protection of life and health. Uniform rules concerning the placing on the market in every Member States directly provides the growth potential of the market and invites manufacturers and importers to act on the European market.
