Local support for SMEs
CEN and CENELEC Members are committed to providing direct, tailored and local support about SMEs and standards.
National SME Helpdesks and SME Toolboxes
SME Helpdesks are one-stop service points to introduce SMEs to the benefits of European Standards and to the business tools required to access the European Standardization System.
Each national standardization organization, member of CEN and CENELEC, have set up an SME Helpdesk, providing tailored support in your national language and in line with the national situation.
Most national standardization organizations have also developed a National SME Toolbox or provide dedicated SME web pages.
Check the website of your national standardization organization and find out what support it offers to SMEs.
