The EU has a clear expectation that the European Green Deal will be systematically supported by suitable standardization activities. The objective of this webinar is to discuss with relevant stakeholders how this expectation can be met by the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs).

In our daily life, we see more and more 'smart' products appearing, also in garments and other (protective) equipment. Standardization of this type of products was initialized in 2017. Following previous workshops, information exchange is essential for standardization activities but also legislative acts and recommendations for certification bodies. Horizontal issues that have to be solved for all sectors together. This includes to prove compliance with EU legal requirements, for instance on the protective functionalities.

How can we exchange relevant, accurate and consistent data (sensors, geolocation indoor and outdoor, video, tactical situation, etc.) between different processes relying on different standards? How can we interface with the defence world in dual domains, such as CBRNE, security threats, operational data, etc.

This webinar will:
• address and clarify the current situation
• identify critical points
• identify a potential way out, propose improvements in standardization processes in security

Are you a European organization and have you ever wondered why Standardization is ‘the winning strategy for your business sector’? Do you want to know how you can take part in CEN and CENELEC activities and directly contribute to the content-drafting of standards? Do you wish to join forces to reach common strategic objectives?

This year the EU Single Market turns 30 and European standardization has been one of its success stories. EU standards are often invisible, but they are vital and everywhere, making consumers’ lives safer, fairer and easier.
The pace of change in this rapidly evolving world means standards have a crucial role to play in engaging with a broad range of stakeholders in an open and neutral process to anticipate future business and societal needs for standardization.

The budget of the HAS assessment contract ended at the beginning of February 2022 and further requests for assessment will no longer be processed by the HAS contractor within the current contract. This webinar aims at providing guidance to CEN and CENELEC Technical Bodies on how to proceed during the gap between HAS contracts. Additionally, the novelties of the upcoming HAS assessment contract will be presented to the participants of the webinar.

This workshop will discuss the role of standards in the implementation of this Action Plan, and to identify supporting activities by the standardisation domain and other related stakeholders.

Do you think you need to start doing something about Circular Economy or Material Efficiency for your products, or in your TC, but don’t know how to start?

This webinar aims in providing a tool to Working Groups having to base EN harmonized standard onto ISO standard; the tool foresees to include a second table in the Annex ZA to establish the correspondence between the undated references of clause 2 in the ISO standard and dated EN ISO. Additionally, it will also give a reminder on the correct dating of normative reference in harmonized standards.
