4. Standard & Legislation in General
(Role of standards in enhancing the trade)

5. What is a standard?
It is a document that defines technical or quality requirements with which current or future products, production processes, services or methods may comply

6. Why standards are important?
Enhance safety of products
Promote common understanding
Facilitate trade by reducing TBs
Promote interoperability of products and services
Benefits of economies of scale
Support environmental sustainability
Facilitate the uptake of innovation and reflect the outcome of research and development

7. Standards vs Législation
Voluntary & Consensual
Developed by independent organisations
Revised every 5 years
Provide specifications and test methods (interoperability, safety, quality, etc.)
Legislation :
Mandatory & Imposed by Law
Established by public authorities
Revised when legislators decide
Gives requirements to protect public interests

8. International Standards
- It’s a time of global economy [globalisation]
- Standards are the valuable tool for global trade

9. EU Standards & Legislation

10. Regulation 1025/2012 Regulation is on European Standardization
Sets legal framework for standardization in Europe
Possibility to finance EU level stakeholder organisations: SME, consumers, environmental and social interests
Financing ESOs (operating grants and action grants) and NSBs (in case of joint actions with ESOs including translation of ENs)
Confirms importance of developing voluntary European Standards for services
Annual Union Work Programme for European standardisation (planning future mandates and strategic priorities)
Recognises 3 European Standards Organizations (ESO) – CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
Why This Regulation:
This Regulation establishes rules with regard to the cooperation between European standardization organizations, national standardization bodies, Member States and the Commission,
The establishment of European standards and European standardization deliverables for products and for services in support of Union legislation and policies,
The identification of ICT technical specifications eligible for referencing in public procurement,
The financing of European standardization and stakeholder participation in European standardization.
The Regulation 1025/2012 is an important step towards the recognition of European standardization, and CEN and CENELEC. Moreover, it confirms the market driven and voluntary nature of standards and the national delegation principle, and the role of CEN and CENELEC members in the process.

11. ESO’s are integrated with International
To avoid duplication of work at International and European levels and to aim for a identical worldwide and European standards
CEN: 32% of portfolio identical to ISO
CENELEC: 72% of portfolio identical to
(+ another 6%based on) IEC standards
“Vienna Agreement” with
Chemistry, Material, Energy, Environment, Transport, Construction, Services, eMobility etc
“Frankfurt Agreement” with
Electricity, Electro-technical
MoU for telecommunications sector (ITU-T), Agreement on radio-communication sector (ITU-R)
Founding Partner to 3GPP & oneM2M
Information & Communication Technologies (ICT)

12. European Standards
The European Commission does not draft European standards! CEN, CENELEC and ETSI do
One European Standard replaces 34 different national standards in Europe, conflicting standards are withdrawn
Standardisation is a form of self regulation
Interested parties come together and agree voluntarily on technical matters
Compete more efficiently by ensuring the interoperability of their products
EU legislation makes reference to Standards
Direct reference: mandatory but mandatory for specific use
Indirect reference =>  New Approach 

13. Direct Reference: EU Directives
The EU Directives are intended to:
Protect all EU Citizens from harm and Improve Citizens’ well-being
Provide essential Safety in Workplace, Home Life, and Leisure Activities.
Now also to address Environmental Protection
The Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC (LVD):
Created in 1973 to assure a degree of Electrical Safety with an Objective: To prevent Electric Shock, Burns, Injuries, Fires and Property Damage
RoHS- Restrictions of Hazardous Substances used in manufacture
Controls Levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium etc, used in products in order to minimize seepage in land fills
WEEE - Electronic Waste Disposal is being controlled.

14. CE MARKING Declaration of Conformity Facilitate free movement of goods
in the Internal Market whilst ensuring a
high level of protection for consumers
Elimination of barriers to trade through technical harmonisation
Manufacturers can Self-Declare Compliance by adding CE MARKS by signing a Declaration of Conformity

15. Objective: remove barriers to trade How? By task sharing:
New Approach
Objective: remove barriers to trade
How? By task sharing:
Legislation: mandatory, stable, predictable and safeguarding public interest (via listing the essential requirements)
Protection of health, safety, environment and consumers
Standards: voluntary, constantly updated to the state-of-the-art, predictable, harmonising the technical specifications

16. Better Regulation & Impact Assessment
Smart Regulation – Better Regulation
EU follow-s the principal of Better/Smart regulation:
Design EU policies and laws to achieve their objectives at minimum cost and ensure that policy is prepared, implemented and reviewed in an open, transparent manner, well informed by the best available evidence and backed up by involving stakeholders
Before EU takes action the Commission publishes roadmaps and inception impact assessments which
Describe the planned new initiatives and evaluations of existing legislation.
examine the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of proposed action through Impact assessments
Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB): review the impact assessments reports /results
REFIT (Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme) to
make EU law simpler and to reduce regulatory costs, thus contributing to a clear, stable and predictable regulatory framework supporting growth and jobs
Ensure Sufficient transition period
for standards 3 years and for any new/amended legislation it is 2 years: Concurrent application of both old and new standards are allowed during this transition period of three years post legislation.
Why This Regulation:
This Regulation establishes rules with regard to the cooperation between European standardization organizations, national standardization bodies, Member States and the Commission,
The establishment of European standards and European standardization deliverables for products and for services in support of Union legislation and policies,
The identification of ICT technical specifications eligible for referencing in public procurement,
The financing of European standardization and stakeholder participation in European standardization.
The Regulation 1025/2012 is an important step towards the recognition of European standardization, and CEN and CENELEC. Moreover, it confirms the market driven and voluntary nature of standards and the national delegation principle, and the role of CEN and CENELEC members in the process.

29. 2 pillar-plan 1.- Priority setting 2.- Delivery
Identification of priority building blocks
2.- Delivery
High-level political process
validation, monitoring , update of actions
Working closely with std Community
Involving Council & Parliament
Improving EU support for priorities (H2020, CEF, pilots)
Fair and non-discriminatory access - (IPR/SEPs)
Stronger international EU's presence & cooperation
Cloud Computing
Internet of Things 5G
Cybersecurity
Data
How to tackle the new complex environment: 2 pillars
!!!!!!! Attention, there is animation.
Holistic approach
The Commission proposes the following approach:
Firstly, we put special focus in five key areas that are at the core of the digital transformation and the reinvention of European industry: 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, cybersecurity and data technologies.
These are building blocks where improved ICT standardisation is most urgent.
Action in these areas can accelerate digitisation and have immediate impact on European competitiveness in domains such as eHealth, intelligent transport systems and connected/automated vehicles, smart homes and cities or advanced manufacturing.
Secondly, we propose a high-level political process, to validate, monitor, and – where necessary – adapt the list of priorities to make sure it fits for purpose.
The 2 parts need to be taken forward together
2 parts need to be pushed together
with stakeholders at EU and international level

30. Joint Initiative on Standardisation

35. Conclusion & Success Mantra

36. Conclusions
Standardisation is a form of self regulation and is a tool to create markets as large and homogenous as possible to allow for economies of scale
Compliance with standards in support of regulation/legislation implies “the right to place a device on the market”, “that is to offer it for sale”
Impact assessment and sufficient transition period of 2-3 year is important to help industry with its proper implementation
ICT Standards need to be global considering the fact of interoperability hence work together
Standards Portfolio Harmonization with Global Standards, raising awareness and visibility plays an important role in strengthening trade
All about European Standards, ICT Standardisation, 36

37. Finally - Success Mantra
3 tips are for success.
Read something no one else is reading,
Think something no one else is thinking, and
Do something no one else is doing
Don't focus on results but on the actions that will produce the results
Surround yourself with diverse people with unique different skill sets, work together and be open to learn from others always
Always place your customer/client first
There is no substitute to hard work
Focus on what’s important to you, do what you think is right and you will be happy
Success is when you look back at life and the memories make you smile 37
