Definition of “standard” (1/3)

A couple of “friendly” definitions:● “a conspicuous object (as a banner) formerly carried

at the top of a pole and used to mark a rallying point especially in battle or to serve as an emblem”(cfr. MerriamWebster Online Dictionary at: https://ibm.biz/vetdmimmo01)

● “It is a technical specification which describes “the state of the art” of a product, a process or a service”



Formal definition from Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 (Art. 2)

‘Standard’ means a technical specification, adopted by a recognised standardisation body, for repeated or continuous application, with which compliance is not compulsory, and which is one of the following:

● ‘international standard’ means a standard adopted by an international standardisation body;

● ‘European standard’ means a standard adopted by a European standardisation organisation ;

● ‘harmonised standard’ means a European standard adopted on the basis of a request made by the Commission for the application of Union harmonisation legislation;

● ‘national standard’ means a standard adopted by a national standardisation body;

Basic standard principles

Transparency Consensus

Voluntary Democracy


Basic standard principles● Consensus: approval through consensus of working

group members

● Democracy: all interested parties may participate to the task

● Trasparency: The SDO signals the steps of the approval process, sharing the project itself with the interested parties

● Voluntary: standards are the reference that all parties take on spontaneously.

Unique European structure with regional standards bodies (CENELEC, CEN, ETSI)

Strong prerogatives for European standards bodies: Provide harmonised standards for common market and in support of European regulation

(execute EU standardisation mandates) – “New Approach” Public procurement can only reference formal standards directly

Voting power on regional and international level remains with national standards bodies, which requires local presence
