National support & tools 

  • National SME Helpdesks
    SME Helpdesks are one-stop service points to introduce SMEs to the benefits of European Standards and to the business tools required to access the European Standardization System. CEN and CENELEC, as well as each national standardization organization, have set up an SME Helpdesk. Similar support is provided by each of the Helpdesks, however national standardization organizations can provide this support in your national language and in line with the national situation.

  • National SME Toolboxes
    Most national standardization organizations have developed a National SME Toolbox or provide dedicated SME web pages. Check the website of your national standardization organization and find out what support your national standardization organization offers to SMEs.
