For 100 years, Finland has used standards to promote competitiveness, the functioning of society, public safety, and national security.
Today, the role of standards in world trade has become more strategic and even politicized, as major powers utilize the standardization of novel technologies to gain advantage over each other. Celebrating its 100th anniversary, SFS Finnish Standards continues to serve the ever-changing needs of businesses and society.
SFS celebrates its history in many ways. One of the changes more visible to the general public concerns the name of the organization. From 1 February 2024, SFS’s official name is SFS Finnish Standards, replacing the old name of Finnish Standards Association SFS.
Among the activities organized throughout the year, SFS will have a seminar on Green Transition in Helsinki on May 24 and is honoured to have both CEN and CENELEC Director-General Elena Santiago Cid and ISO Secretary-General Sergio Mujica as guest speakers at the event.
