ETSA's Response to the Review of European Standardisation Rules

Regulation 1025/2012, which governs European standardisation, lays down the framework for the EU's standardisation policy. This legislation, adopted in October 2012, has required a review due to significant changes in the standardisation landscape. In its response, ETSA stands as a shining example of an organization committed to reshaping the European Standardisation System (ESS) to ensure a more efficient and inclusive future. Through active advocacy for the inclusion of societal interests, SMEs, consumers, and environmental concerns, ETSA is charting a course towards greater transparency, trust, and the establishment of high-quality standards. ETSA's call for streamlined procedures, improved governance, and the development of skills and training systems underscores our sector's commitment to ensuring that the standards of tomorrow are not only technically robust but also reflective of a diverse and interconnected world.

ETSA is fully aligned with the European Commission's vision for a globally influential EU and emphasizes that maintaining the integrity of the European Standardisation System while advancing it to address future challenges requires a delicate balance and forward-thinking approach.
