An inclusive approach to European standards-making - ECOS
An inclusive approach to standards is crucial for a circular, sustainable, resilient, and competitive economy.
Standards are more than just a market tool, they directly impact people and the #environment.
An inclusive approach that involves environmental stakeholders, is crucial in shaping #standards that support a #circular, resilient, and #competitive economy.

Standards need to work for everyone โ hereโs how we do it
Bringing the environmental perspective into standards can make production more sustainable and responsive to societal needs.
Over the past 25 years, ECOS has channelled the environmental interests into more than 200 #standards across European and international standardisation - we have unique expertise and are well poised to make a big impact.

Have you ever wondered... - how the energy consumption of your fridge is measured? - why every office printer uses A4 paper?
#WorldStandardsDay www.ecostandard.org
Title: Making standards work for everyone.
Text: Standards - they affect us all and impact trade, public health, and our environment. To ensure a positive impact on people and planet, they must be developed with societal needs in mind.
#WorldStandardsDay www.ecostandard.org
Title: What are standards?
Text: Standards are commonly agreed rules. When developed properly and used well, they can contribute to a healthy and clean environment. Standards can decide how we measure a productโs energy performance or assess its capacity for repair. When done right, they reduce international market barriers, maintain competitiveness, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable products become the norm.
#WorldStandardsDay www.ecostandard.org
Title: Who creates standards?
Text: Developing standards is driven by standardisation organisations and dominated by industry experts. They decide if standards will accelerate technologies and processes that are more respectful of the environment - or block them, by maintaining the status quo.
#WorldStandardsDay www.ecostandard.org
It's #WorldStandardsDay! Today we celebrate the collaborative efforts of thousands of experts worldwide who develop #standards.
A lack of #representation of diverse and relevant expertise from civil society organisations risks the adoption of #standards which may not be fit for purpose.
