OCCASIONAL PAPER – No. 01/2023 - In Support of Market-Driven Standards

17 Mar 2023

The most radical aspect of the strategy is a regulatory change by which it grants National Standardisation Organisations (NSOs) the last word in the acceptance of standardisation requests, and the adoption, revision, and withdrawal of European standards. [...] The success of the EU standard-setting system is partly due to its openness which allows a wide-range of experts to collaborate in pursuit of the best solutions to the benefit of consumers, innovation and the EU as a whole. [...] The economic impact of standards and the complexity of their elaboration not only highlight their importance but inform us about the potential impact of the new Standardisation Strategy on the governance of ESOs and the EU economy. [...] The same can be said about the importance of training on standardisation and the difficulties to recruit technical experts for the standardisation development work identified in the EU’s Standardisation Strategy. [...] Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
