StandarDays is a two-day information session consisting of an introductory plenary meeting, which explains the different aspects and tasks of CEN and CENELEC and interactive, in-depth workshops. It will take place on March 24th and 25th.

The structure gives participants the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the overall European Standardization System and then take advantage of the CEN and CENELEC expertise to obtain further clarification and explanations.

StandarDays are aimed at all actors interested in the European standardization system: industry, consumers, administrations and government, European institutions, research centres, national standards institutes, academia, etc.

Participation is free of charge. Since there is a limited number of places, registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and will close when the maximum number is reached.

The World Standards Day takes place every 14th October. The date was selected because on 14th October 1946 took place a meeting in London where delegates from 25 States decided to create an international organization focused on facilitating standardization.

Frederica Scott Vollrath won the poster competition for this year

Although International Standardization Organization, ISO, was founded on 1947 the first World Standards Day was held in 1970. Therefore, this year the 43rd edition is celebrated.

 El mensaje lanzado este año se centra en potenciar las normas como una potente herramienta para liderar cambios positivos detallando especificaciones que consigan abrir mercados globales, permitiendo ambientes aptos para los negocios, estimulando el crecimiento económico y ayudando a mitigar el cambio climático.

Desde AFTA queremos apoyar este tipo de iniciativas, que representan el punto de vista consensuado de los expertos mundiales en los diferentes sectores industriales, que ponen su conocimiento de un modo voluntario al interés público.

We would like to leave a link to the reviews that have been published by other organizations, like ISO or AENOR, as well as to the twitter hashtag #worldstandardsday.
