The Space of Standardisation

The Standardisation Space of ANACOM

ANACOM in Standardisation At National Level As the Recognised National Standardisation Body for Communications and Electromagnetic Compatibility At European Level As member of ETSI, in the category “Administrations”  At International Level In ITU-T Standardisation activities, as representative of Portugal in ITU

ANACOM as the Recognised National Standardisation Body for Communications and Electromagnetic Compatibility (ONS/ANACOM) ANACOM is recognised by the National Standardisation Body as the National Sectoral Standardisation Body - ONS/ANACOM - for the following sectors: COMMUNICATIONS (TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND POSTAL) ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY ONS/ANACOM co-ordinates and supports at national level the involvement of the different interested economic agents in the relevant standardisation activities of the European Standardisation Bodies (ETSI, CEN, CENELEC) and of the International Standardisation Bodies (IEC e ISO)

ONS/ANACOM and ETSI/CEN/CENELEC ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) ONS/ANACOM realizes, for the National Standardisation Body, all the consultations at national level for Public Enquiry / Voting of European Standards of ETSI. CEN ( Comité Européen de Normalisation) ONS/ANACOM co-ordinates and supports the national participation in the following Technical Committee of CEN: CEN TC 331Postal Services

Standardisation and Standards What is Standardisation? “Standardisation is a voluntary activity by and for parties interested in drawing up common standards and technical specifications in response to their needs”

Standardisation and Standards Who uses the Standards? Users, Operators, Manufacturers, Service Providers, Regulators, etc.

Standardisation and Standards What are Standards for? Market needs Policy objectives (incl. competitiveness of enterprises, innovation, protection of health and safety, consumer interests, and environmental protection) The need for common standards is underlined by the increasing globalisation of the trade and the convergence of technologies
