Market supply and demand

At least 15 International companies issue ECMA-370 declaration for their products on a regular basis. Every year there are hundreds of instances where customers request ECMA-370 declarations as part of their tendering process. For instance, the UK based Office of Government Commerce, OGC, requires ECMA-370 declarations and has selected compliance to certain criteria as a condition for products to be sold to the UK Public sector.
