This workshop is being co-organized by Project SESEI along with the EU-REI, TERI, CEN CENELEC & ECOS on 2nd Dec 2022, on the role of the policy makers and Standardisation Bodies to ensure faster transition to Circular Economy through Eco Deign & Eco Labelling, sharing of best practices and identification of areas to work together and synergies between India and EU.

Following the European Chips Act, the European Commission has established the need for microchips to be the foundation for emerging technologies to rise in Europe (e.g. highly automated cars, cloud, IoT, connectivity, space, defence and supercomputers). To fully benefit from the future of microchips, European stakeholders need a common approach that enables trust, security, quality and interoperability along the entire value chain.

The risk of hearing loss is underestimated. Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities. Unfortunately, it is usually observed only very late after many years of exposure. And worst of all, hearing loss is irreversible.
With modern communication needs, the ability of hearing becomes more and more important. Therefore, it is critical to protect our hearing and enable communication even in noisy environments.
CEN/TC 159 “Hearing protection” is focussing on describing requirements for hearing protection to make sure that products put on the market are safe and do protect users. Additionally, it gives guidelines on how to best select, use and maintain hearing protection.

After a very successful first webinar, the 2nd webinar “Highlights in Circular Economy standardization” will be held in October 26th from 1 to 3 PM. It is organized by the CEN-CLC 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 three CEN and CENELEC or ISO and IEC committees.

This webinar will provide participants with practical information regarding the preparation of CEN and CENELEC harmonized standards to be cited in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under the Machinery Directive.

The workshop will feature presentations on the key legislative requirements, existing work in technical committees and a discussion on how we could potentially generate an approach to integrate the requirements for PPE, medical products, and dual use products. Therefore, we hope to bring together stakeholders from different perspectives.

CEN and CENELEC will host the fourth edition of the Standards+Innovation Awards on October 3rd.
Launched in 2019, the Standards+Innovation Awards acknowledge the important contribution of research and innovation to standardization. Nominations are presented by CEN and CENELEC National Members.

The EU has a clear expectation that the European Green Deal will be systematically supported by suitable standardization activities. The objective of this webinar is to discuss with relevant stakeholders how this expectation can be met by the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs).

In our daily life, we see more and more 'smart' products appearing, also in garments and other (protective) equipment. Standardization of this type of products was initialized in 2017. Following previous workshops, information exchange is essential for standardization activities but also legislative acts and recommendations for certification bodies. Horizontal issues that have to be solved for all sectors together. This includes to prove compliance with EU legal requirements, for instance on the protective functionalities.
