On 24 October, CEN and CENELEC, were invited to speak at "The Strategic Role of Standards for Europe's Future" hosted by The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI). Alberto Simeoni, Account Manager for European and International Policy, was a panelist on the topic of the Future of EU Standards: Navigating the evolution of the European Standardization System (#ESS). This was a valuable opportunity to share CEN and CENELEC's position on the evaluation of Regulation 1025/2012, emphasizing the need to focus on implementation rather the revision, while learning from the perspectives of the fellow panelists from Orgalim, IBM and Small Business Standards (SBS).

As the use of #drones, or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (#UAS), grows across industries, the potential for misuse and threats is also increasing, particularly in sensitive areas such as airports, prisons, and critical infrastructure. To address these risks, the new CWA 18150:2024 presents a standardized test methodology that enables a unified approach to detecting, tracking, and identifying (DTI) drones, providing essential guidelines for law enforcement agencies and industries tasked with protecting lower airspace.

To celebrate #WorldStandardsDay 🌎 SBS is proud to announce a joint initiative with CEN and CENELEC: The Guide 17 video promotion. This video seeks to increase and facilitate SMEs involvement in standardisation by promoting the #Guide17 also referred to as the 'SME Standardisation Guide'. The CEN-CENELEC Guide 17 proposes several strategies to address SMEs’ needs in the standards drafting process. It features: 🔹 Information on the preparation of new work items; 🔹 Issues to be considered when drafting a standard; 🔹 Developing the content of the standard; 🔹 The structure and presentation of the content; 🔹 The implications resulting from standards; 🔹 A final checklist helping standard writers to take into account SME needs. Download your free copy of Guide 17 in multiple languages: https://lnkd.in/ejvtSkPm And share the video with your network - Let's work together to make standards work for #SMEs. #Standards4SMEs
