Drafting rules

The drafting rules contain all the details relating to the structuring of a document intended to become an ETSI standard, in other words a standard for ETSI standards.

The Drafting Rules define among other elements:

• how to manage references in an ETSI deliverable
• terms and definitions
• requirements and test methods
• endorsement of documents from other standards organizations
• harmonized standards under the R&TTE Directive
• font/style formatting

These rules complement the ETSI Technical Working Procedures (TWPs), which are part of the ETSI Directives.

The ETSI Drafting Rules are available in .pdf and as a Navigator from editHelp!, the ETSI service for assistance in drafting and editing.
