A successful European Standardization System

Sophia Antipolis, France, 19 December 2022

​The unique public-private partnership between the European Commission, European standardization organisations (ESOs) and industrial/societal stakeholders – and with the involvement of Member States, National Standards Bodies (NSB), National Committees (NC) and EFTA – has produced world-leading standards in support of EU policies and legislation that benefit European citizens, industry and the environment. But this partnership is also subject to change and continuous improvements, which have led to a joint understanding of the need to undertake a thorough assessment of partnership in order to prosper and progress. ​

This is why representatives of the European Commission, EFTA and the three European Standardization Organizations – CEN, CENELEC and ETSI – decided to form a Task Force that could work together on short, medium and long term solutions: to address strategic and operational matters that enables the European standardization system to deliver a green, digital and resilient Single Market. ​
