Agents and sub-distributors
DPS has a cooperation agreement with the Kosovo Standardization Agency, where among other things DPS has designated ASK as the official seller of DPS for the resale of Albanian standards within the territory of Kosovo. This agreement respects all the requirements of Guide 10 regarding sales policies that must be respected by countries that enjoy different statuses in CEN/CENELEC.
In order to better meet the needs of customers and to be as close as possible to them, DPS has delegated the right to sell a group of standards in function of their fields of interest, to institutions such as:
Construction Institute (IN) in Tirana,
KIBE 1 shpk in Durrës (Building Materials Testing Laboratory);
Regional Development Agency (ARDH) in Korça, Konfindustria;
Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Tirana.
The relations with these organizations are regulated in the respective agreements concluded between DPS and these entities. These sub-distributors or Official Sellers of DPS, operating within the Albanian territory and in Kosovo, are obliged to implement the sales policies. For sales agents who work on the basis of a contract concluded between DPS and them, 70% of the price value belongs to DPS and 30% to the agents.
