Positive Competition Conditions in the Sector
Ferdi Erdoğan, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of Türkiye İMSAD, who gave information about the functioning of İMKTS, said that the results of the tests conducted within the scope of the system were shared with the companies and that the companies were given time to correct the non-conforming products.
