WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE TO STANDARDS International level Industrial Companies → International standardization organization such as ISO, IEC → Propose new standards to your NSB European level → Comment on the draft of a standard → Participate at your local NSB → European standardization organizations (ESOs) such as → Through national trade associations CEN, CENELEC, ETSI Associations & Research Projects National level → Associations & research projects can → National standardization bodies (NSBs) such as participate directly via liaisons with AFNOR, BSI, DIN, etc. are members of ESOs standards committees → Contribution starts on national level → Propose new standards to your NSB → Stakeholder interest is considered on international and → Comment on the draft of a standard European level through delegations → Initiate CWA at the local NSB HOW YOU CAN TAKE PART STEPS IN THE PROCESS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE STANDARDS COMMITTEE Anyone can submit Proposal for standards work Your national standards Decision to accept body will support you in Make comments Standards project finding the right path to your Draw up content Comment on draft standard and give advice on Draft standard Discuss submitted comments the best way to participate in Take part in discussions standardization. Incorporate results of discussions Adopt final version Standard RESULTS FROM PARTICIPATION Standardization documents Benefits → EN standards → Represent your own interests → Technical Reports → Exchange information with other stakeholders → Specifications or CWAs → Raise transferability, marketability and dissemination of innovations → International market access → Build a high level of customer trust Selected standardization Timeline tools - Direct participation of anyone CWA – CEN-CENELEC - Fast and flexible to develop - Not fully consensus based ≤ 1 year Workshop Agreement - First step to an EN standard - Content of final standard - Proposal for normative document Proposal for EN standard out of hand of initiator ≤ 1 year - Final standard widely accepted and applied - Can be rejected or stay unprocessed - Overview, information and knowledge Research of Standards ≤ 0.5 years - For monitoring purpose - Fosters direct participation - High organizational efforts STAIR Platform ≥ 2 years - Establishes a first and open working group - Highly dependent on participant contribution - Alliance to TC or WG Liaison ≥ 2 years - Observation for information exchange Standardization - Create network ≤ 0.5 years Workshop - Discuss and identify standardization ideas The choice on the way of participation and utilized instruments strongly depends on the individual case. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768755 082019_DIN_ONEPAGER_HARMONI_A4_final.indd 1 22.10.19 18:43 STANDARDIZATION TOOLBOX Standardization Toolbox Cross- Dissemination & Sustainability of Inhouse Topic novelty Standard Networking Interlinkage sectorial Exploitation results optimization Proposal for EN Standard + 0 + + ++ 0 + 0 CWA – CEN-CENELEC + ++ ++ + + + + 0 Workshop Agreement CEN TS – 0 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 Technical Specification CEN TR – Technical Report 0 0 + + + 0 0 0 Roadmap + + + + 0 0 + + STANDARDIZATION DOCUMENTS Contribution to + 0 0 0 ++ 0 + + existing standards TC-Mapping ++ 0 + 0 0 0 + + Standardization Strategy + ++ + 0 0 0 + + Research of Standards + ++ ++ 0 0 0 + + RESEARCH Consultation of TCs ++ ++ + + + + + ++ Literature Research 0 + 0 0 0 + 0 + STAIR Platform ++ + 0 + 0 + + + Liaison 0 0 + 0 0 + + + Project Advisory Board 0 + 0 0 + 0 + + CONNECTION Standardization Workshop + ++ + + 0 + + 0 Events ++ + 0 ++ 0 ++ + 0 6 7 STANDARDIZATION TOOLBOX Standardization requirements of projects Impact of the tools regarding the respective requirement High degree of interaction between sectors Tool has a neutral impact on the requirement Cross-sectorial 0 within the project Tool has a positive impact on the requirement.

What is it? → A NWIP (New Work Item Proposal) is a proposal for a normative document → A CWA is a normative document that is developed and approved in a CEN Workshop → It drafts possible content for an EN standard → It is open to the direct participation of anyone → EN standards are widely accepted and applied → A CWA is fast and flexible to develop → A EN standard is established by a CEN Technical Body → It is a first step to an EN standard → EN standards are adopted automatically by each of the 34 CEN-CENELEC → A CWA brings no obligation to be adopted at national level member countries → An EN standard is a “document, established by consensus and approved by a What is it good for? recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or → Short time to market characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the → Creation of uniform rules optimum degree of order in a given context” → Innovative solutions from research projects → Dissemination of results What is it good for? → Validation of acceptance in the market → Long-time impact → Dissemination of information and guidance When should it be used? → Creation of applicable rules → Project duration is short → Clear project results are in sight When should it be used? → Need for standardization emphasized → A Technical Committee (TC) is established in the relevant field → No suitable TC exists yet → Close cooperation with a TC is existing or easy to set-up → Clear and tangible focus of standard identifiable Characteristics Characteristics Time frame: ≤ 1 year Time frame: ≤ 1 year Efforts & Resources: Medium Efforts & Resources: Medium Preparation time: Medium Preparation time: Low Results lifetime: Long-term Results lifetime: Medium-term Controllability of results: Low Controllability of results: High 10 11 STANDARDIZATION TOOLBOX CEN TS - Technical Specification CEN TR - Technical Report What is it?
