Abstract

National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) is the institutional framework that establishes and implements standardization practices, including service conformity assessment, metrology and accreditation. Along with the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community, the strength and endurance of standards development organizations should be strengthened to compete in international markets and be able to keep abreast of the time. However, there are still differences in the internal conditions and external standards development organizations in some ASEAN countries. It is then important to understand these differences. This research was aimed at measuring them by conducting a comparative analysis between standards development organizations in Indonesia and in Malaysia. The reason is that Malaysia as a neighbouring country of Indonesia has been quite far beyond it in terms of the development of the national quality infrastructure. This research was based on literature study and interviews. It is expected that Indonesia can learn the existing weaknesses and follow the positive aspects from the experience of Malaysia. The analyses used the SWOT method, IFAS-EFAS and QSPM Matrices. Results of this research are some strategies that should be prioritized in Indonesia as a consequence of learning the adoption of the policy in Malaysian institutions. The strategies are essential to improve the institution in Indonesia. Keywords: ASEAN, National quality infrastructure, National standardization body, Standard development body, Standardization.
