Service Providing Organization

In 20 years of operations, ETSI has built an expertise second to none in a series of domains that are essential to produce state of the art standards and specifications:

• Conformance testing
• Validation
• Interoperability testing
• Collaborative electronic working and web tools
• Meetings support
• Standards edition
• Maintenance of standards databases and libraries

Those services have contributed and do contribute day to day to ETSI brand equity. Indeed, the Institute is known worldwide for producing and maintaining efficiently high quality standards in optimum working conditions (physical meetings, electronic working etc). This is not trivial because ICT industry spends quite some resources on standards making and expects legitimately to get the best service on the market. Time to market is essential indeed, but quick and dirty is no option.

Today, ETSI reputation on the market is such that many other standards and specifications producers are using the services the Institute set up originally for the benefits of its Members-and technical bodies.

Services such as the Testing and Interoperability or Forapolis, ETSI forum-hosting facilities are used by an increasing number of standards organizations and industry forums worldwide.

With the growing fragmentation of the ICT standards making market worldwide, ETSI is experiencing a surge in demand for those services, and puts of lot of emphasis on developing state of the art facilities that can be.
