21、reference relative to the removal of household furniture and effects aimed at dealing with the service and with the provision of the service to private individuals conducted by the profession. Within each activity, it has been necessary to make a distinction between the service on the one hand, and

22、the provision of the service on the other hand: the service: all the services agreed upon between the service provider and the customer within the framework of the contract; includes characteristics which allow this said service to be assessed; the provision of the service: all the means engaged by

23、the service provider which include the personnel, the equipment, the organization and the budget with a view to carrying out the service. The systems of reference constitute a beneficial means of achieving the following objectives: to create a dialogue with the consumers which is favourable to the p

24、rofession; to permit customers to identify and compare the services offered by companies in order to benefit from the positive spin-off of fair competition in an open market; to protect customers against provision of services, the characteristics of which may not be in compliance with the standards;

25、 to allow the professionals of the trade to conduct their activity with the aid of technical specifications that are clearly defined by a common understanding; finally, as regards the single market, to allow the activity to position itself efficiently in order to meet the needs of the European custo

26、mer by having at its disposal, in particular, harmonized general conditions of contract. 1 Scope This standard specifies the minimum qualitative and quantitative rules and characteristics of the provision of a furniture removal service, the service specifications of the furniture removal service bei

27、ng defined in EN 12522-1. The standard also specifies the requirements for a quality approach.

28、 requires the moving of personal property, generally consisting of non-commercial property and/or property which is in current use. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at th

29、e appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.
