33. CONCLUSION ASEAN countries need to develop metrology to support the international trades according to their export destinations. More specifically, if ASEAN export to Europe, ASEAN products need to comply with EU directive, e.g. ASEAN export electric equipments to EU  18,000 US $ million, these equipments must be complied with EU directive.
