Every year, on 14 October the international standardization community celebrates World Standards Day. This event is a means of paying tribute to the collaborative efforts of thousands of experts worldwide whose work contributes to the development of voluntary standards.
On 14 October 2022, CEN and CENELEC join the international standardization community in celebrating World Standards Day. Under the motto “Shared visions for a better world”, the event is an opportunity to showcase the many ways in which international standards can contribute to building a sustainable future.
European standards are key to support the transition to a more sustainable future for all. Through a new dedicated online tool, CEN and CENELEC have mapped the direct contributions standards make to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The European Union counts on the publication of new standards on sustainable development, which will help implement its Green Deal.
