Public Approval EN (telecommunications series) involves National Standards Organizations involves “Public Enquiry” and “public” Vote weighted national voting New EN approval procedure (ENAP) combining previous OAP and TAP (one step and two step approval) Two-step procedure (TAP) 11,5 months © ETSI 2014

Why the new EN approval procedure? ETSI is acting on the proposal from ETSI NSOs to improve the EN approval procedure on the basis of the following statement and arguments: ETSI supports the reform of the EU standardization system undertaken by the European Commission to make the standard making process more responsive. To ensure that technical comments from NSOs will be considered by the ETSI TB (not only in the case of a negative vote as is the case with the current OAP). To automatically select the shorter procedure if there are no technical comments. The TB is no longer required to predict if NSOs will comment. To improve the quality of deliverables and speed up the production of non-critical documents. To reduce the number of editions of ENs and of the associated procedures, which is particularly important in the case of Harmonized Standards needing to be published in the OJEU. © ETSI 2014
