The standardization of Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is both challenging and crucial for establishing IS as a common industrial practice, essential for achieving the EU's circularity goals and “zero” ambitions. The RISERS EU-funded project addresses this challenge by developing a comprehensive roadmap for IS standardization. The approach focuses on optimizing existing standards, such as those for the circular economy, and identifying gaps where new standards are needed.

This webinar is organized by the CEN-CENELEC SABE Topic Group Circular Economy (SABE CE-TG) with the objective of providing guidance to CEN and CENELEC technical bodies in the preparation of circular economy related standards. This workshop will provide participants with practical information regarding standardization activities and best practices related to circular economy and material efficiency topics from National, European and International standardization.

This webinar will provide an overview of the rights of the 'Annex III organizations' - ANEC, ECOS, ETUC and SBS - in the CEN and CENELEC Technical Bodies and their added-value to the European Standardization System.

A CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) is a deliverable developed and agreed by the participants of a temporary working group called CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop.

European Standards are at the core of the Single Market. Over the last 30 years, the European Standardization System has delivered more than 3600 harmonized standards, allowing industry and SMEs to demonstrate compliance with EU law in a resource and cost-efficient way.

CountEmissions EU will ensure better comparability and transparency of GHG emissions of passengers and freight transport services thereby incentivising behavioural change among businesses and customers towards reducing GHG emissions and making transport services more efficient. EN ISO 14083, newly published in 2023, provides an internationally recognized basis upon which can be used for this.

The objective of this webinar is to describe the new process for harmonized standards that are developed in parallel with ISO and IEC. The goal of this new process is to improve the timely delivery of compliant EN ISO/IEC harmonised Standards, by building on principles of the innovative process, while minimizing interferences with international project timeframes. The new process applies to all projects under parallel development reaching the CD stage at ISO and IEC level.

In December 2024, the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR EU 2023/988) will enter into force and will repeal the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD 2001/95/EC). What impact for standardization?
This webinar will provide participants with practical information to ensure a smooth transition for the preparation of CEN and CENELEC standards to be cited in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under the new GPSR.

In this webinar, the European Policy Officer for machinery will remind participants of the most important changes which have been made by the Machinery Regulation in the essential requirements.

This webinar will present the process in Germany that led to the commitment of the three largest standardization organizations in Germany (DIN, DKE and VDI) to deal with the topic of climate impact adaptation in strong cooperation.
