European standard for cosmetic surgery services
The market for aesthetic surgery is a growing commercial market. Consumers are increasingly looking across borders for a suitable treatment at private clinics. Different professions and specialties are involved in these treatments. It is therefore important that all stakeholders participate in the standardization process to work to good agreements.
The purpose of the standard is to establish agreements on the quality, safety and reliability of services offered by private clinics.The agreements include other levels of training of personnel, facilities and equipment, quality and patient contact. There are also agreements about ethics in relation to, inter alia conduct and marketing. The European standard will not be able to harmonize existing national legislation, but complement it with a need and no standards or legislation.
Preliminary

Netherlands is the beginning and at the table has a national committee set up mirror. In this mirror committee to interested parties together in order to find a widely accepted standard to come.
