Abstract

The importance of expanding and strengthening the standard system and the relationship between standardization coverage and its development and the realization of a resistance economy raises the question of what are the effective factors and obstacles in this field if there is a serious decision and determination to expand standardization coverage. Given the importance of standardization and the emphasis of general policies of the resistance economy on this issue, this study has been conducted with the aim of modeling the factors affecting the expansion of standardization coverage in the country. In this regard, first by conducting interviews and holding expert meetings by brainstorming method, the most important dimensions and factors affecting the standardization coverage in the country have been identified and then by compiling a questionnaire and completing it by managers, experts and experts of the National Standards Organization, The pattern between these factors should be identified structurally. The results of this study show that the two main variables affecting the expansion of standardization coverage in the country are "expansion of standardization system" and "improvement and expansion of standards", which has a higher degree of effectiveness of "improvement and expansion of standards". And also the variables "barriers ahead" and "economic conditions" through this variable affect the expansion of standardization coverage. The variable "General policies of the standardization system" as an upstream factor also directly affects the expansion of standardization coverage.
