Introduction General construction is the construction of entire dwellings, office buildings, stores and other public and utility buildings, farm buildings etc., or the construction of civil engineering works such as motorways, streets, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, sports facilities etc.10 Construction is one of the most important productive sectors in the world and one of the main driving forces of economic development.

The construction sector is one of Europe's biggest industries, representing some 10% of GDP and 50.5% of Gross fixed Capital formation. It employs more than 12 million EU citizens and it is estimated that 26 million workers in the European Union depend in one way or another, on the construction sector.11 The construction industry is a high risk, high investment and low profit, intense, hazardous, tempting and demanding industry.

The construction products add high social value and have significant environmental impact.

The construction industry employs millions of workers worldwide. Thousands of them will be killed or injured, every year, because of accidents at the workplace.

A project is a means to an end. Colleagues, fellow workers, might never meet again after its completion.

Management for the construction industry is a complicated process not easy to standardize.

Standard use of business / project improvement processes, techniques and tools (such as PDCA12, DMAIC or DMADV13) is advisable.

A top priority task of the management of a Construction Industry Organization (CIO) should be to cascade knowledge and enforce respect and abidance with regards to all the ethical, social, labor, project, quality, environmental and occupational health & safety requirements of the applicable legislation, as well as, the contract agreements of its projects and the organization’s management systems; considering all applicable aspects to the last detail as well as the adequacy, the health & safety and the well-being of all employees, the protection of the environment, its social responsibility and the health & safety of the public and the interested parties involved in its operations.

At all organization’s and projects’ levels good practice would be to ensure that all staff receives appropriate -applicable to their position- meticulous and effective training on: 10

An enormous amount of publications, in all types of media, is available worldwide that offer analysis, guidance, education, information and knowledge on all different elements of the construction industry, a true thesaurus of infinite value.

In this respect, the current publication should be considered as an introductory approach or a very limited yet structured, practical, browsing index / guide, only.

It is advisable that the construction professionals master all aspects of their required qualifications, research and select their preferred sources of knowledge and develop and maintain their own practical guide, based on their experience gained during the course of their professional lives.

Extensive documentation is produced during the course of a project that forms part of the organization’s experience thesaurus.

It should be archived properly, in the organization’s library, and treated as an asset of high value.

Chapter A Construction in the world A.1

The European construction sector - A global Partner 14

The construction sector is of strategic importance for many countries across the world. It delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society.

It generates 10% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the European Union and provides 20 million jobs. It has a direct impact on the safety of persons and on the quality of life.

The energy performance and resource efficiency of buildings, infrastructure and construction products have an important impact on energy savings, the fight against climate change and the environment in general.

This has triggered important innovations and built expertise in Europe for the design of sustainable buildings and construction products, including renovation.

As such, the construction sector plays an important role in the delivery of the European Union’s ‘Europe 2020’ goals for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The strategy for the sustainable competitiveness of the construction sector focuses on five objectives: stimulating favourable investment conditions; improving the human-capital basis; improving resource efficiency, environmental opportunities; strengthening the EU internal market and fostering the global competitiveness of enterprises.

performance

and

business

The European Union’s internal market offers our international partners access to more than 500 million people and approximately EUR 13 trillion in GDP. The European Union has put in place a comprehensive legislative and regulatory framework, including corresponding European standards, financial tools, information platforms, labelling schemes and other instruments, which are presented further on.

The European Union is a major actor in world trade and supports open markets, clear regulatory frameworks and the removal of barriers to trade.

The EU is engaged internationally to open opportunities for sustainable construction, cooperate with its partners in areas of mutual interest and share its expertise.

Construction Update, April 2014: biannual publication of Rabobank, examining current developments in the construction sector: macroeconomic environment, developments in the Dutch market, developments in various European markets and strategic challenges.

STD Sector Review 2013 - for the latest overview of the sector in the Scandinavian countries:

What engineering consultants do The engineering consultant Engineering consultancy services embrace more than purely technical advice and design. A technical proposal is the basis of each project to which a whole array of services are to be added. These services can be summarised in 7 points. He/she:       

advises on procurement and funding of projects assumes the tasks of both project and construction management; studies the feasibility of projects; conceives the design; executes the design in detail; procures contractors and suppliers; administers contracts and supervises construction and installation.

Engineering consultancy services are market or client driven. Clients increasingly require the full range of project related services from the consultancies, e.g. economic, legal, accountancy, financial and other ad hoc services. However, one should bear in mind that a well-engineered project can be improved by a sophisticated legal and financial framework, but clever financing can never make a badly designed project feasible.

Engineering consultancy and related services are by nature intellectual services and therefore intangible. That is why engineering consultants are not seen in the street scene whereas everyone will know the name of e.g. road maintenance companies or contractors who materialise the thinking behind a project.

Engineering services apply to:          

the construction of all kinds of buildings in their totality or in their principal functions; infrastructure works (ports, airports, roads, railroads, tunnels, car parks, etc.); the development and maintenance of public utilities (water, energy, telecommunications, etc.); industrial plant (storage of goods and materials, process research and development, etc.); environment protection (treatment of waste, pollution control, etc.); agriculture (irrigation, soil protection, etc.); exploitation of natural resources (mining, oil and gas winning, etc.); computer services (data processing, hardware consultancy, etc.); management and organisation (human resources, technology, etc.); planning (urban, transport, etc.).

Page 12 of 331

The sector's economic importance and its impact on the construction sector The total construction engineering consultancy employment in the countries belonging to the EFCA membership can be estimated at around one million highly qualified jobs.

For the same group of countries, the basic engineering investments are estimated at € 1,530 billion, whereas the total production of professional engineering consultancy services are considered to amount to around € 70 billion, i.e. € 158 per inhabitant. Of these € 70 billion, exports represent more or less € 20 billion, i.e. approximately 28%.

The average size of the engineering consultancies varies considerably from one country to another, but is generally small: as an example, in Denmark, France and Sweden most of the enterprises (more than 90%) have less than 10 employees.

The distribution of turnover by market segments also varies considerably between the countries, although buildings, manufacturing, energy and environment are generally found amongst the most important market segments.

Confederation of International Contractors' Associations (CICA)16

Established in 1974, the Confederation of International Contractors' Associations (CICA) represents the Construction Industry at the world level. The Worldwide Construction Industry, involving contractors of all sizes, represents a global turnover of US$ 7 trillion and employs around 120 million employees.

In 2014, CICA gathers 3 Regional Federations in the world, representing 61 countries: Middle Eastern Federation: Federation of Arab Contractors (FAC) European Federation: European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) Latin American Federation: Inter-American Federation of the Construction Industry (FIIC) Contacts are currently established with the new African Federation to become a CICA Member and CICA maintains close relationships with Asian Organizations such as: China International Contractors Association (CHINCA) and Overseas Construction Association of Japan, Inc.(OCAJI) GOALS AND OBJECTIVES As a non-profit, voluntary and global association of trade associations representing member construction companies from their respective regions:

16

CICA is currently (15th May 2015) updating its website http://www.cicanet.org/

Page 13 of 331

CICA represents and speaks for the construction industry on technical, legal and political matters of international concern and provides a forum for fellowship, cooperation and interaction with member federations and linked institutions.

CICA is also acting as a CLUB for Contractors of any size and as a lobby at international level interacting with worldwide Public Organizations.

CICA encourages the exchange of experiences, information and technical knowledge.

CICA promotes investment in engineering and building that enhances both our environment and the quality of life for all.

CICA promotes the global construction industry, by stressing notably its fundamental impact on the economy at local, regional and global levels.

The contribution of the Construction Industry to the world’s GDP is estimated at 10%.

But the impact on the world economy at large is much higher: investments in adequate infrastructure, housing and energy efficiency are vital to economic growth, job creation, mitigating energy issues, fighting poverty, improving health and well being of citizens while providing significant inputs on quality of life, health and climate consequences.

CICA and its Member Federations, along with their National Federations and their Companies, are able to assist Governments, International Financial Institutions (especially Multilateral Development Banks) and other International Organizations in order to:  

contribute to the elaboration and implementation of their infrastructure projects or action plans; collaborate actively in the definition and implementation of the required policies (notably in procurement, infrastructure, anticorruption and integrity)

CICA Counterparts CICA regularly holds high level meetings with governments and international organizations such as the World Bank (WB) and other Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the United Nations (UN), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), etc.

CICA is also interacting closely with industry & professional associations, specialized institutions and Non Governmental Organizations.

CICA Liaison Officers have been nominated in order to maintain active contacts with these various stakeholders.

CICA Topics Main issues addressed by CICA are the following:

Best Practices Project preparation ( Well Prepared Project -WPP) Procurement Quality Qualification Anticorruption and Integrity Sustainable Development and Green Business Public-Private Partnerships Engineering News Record17

ENR's Editorial Mission18 Engineering News-Record provides the news, analysis, commentary and data that construction industry professionals need to do their jobs more effectively. Our products include a weekly magazine with more than 70,000 paid subscribers, a website with over 90,000 unique visitors a month and a series of in-person events. The audience includes contractors, project owners, engineers, architects, government regulators and industry suppliers -many of whom work around the world. ENR connects diverse sectors of the industry with coverage that everyone needs about issues such as business management, design, construction methods, technology, safety, law, legislation, environment and labor.

A.4.1 Top Lists19 ENR attempts to bring structure to an otherwise huge and chaotic construction industry by performing annual surveys of its key segments, and ranking companies engaged in general contracting, specialty contracting, engineering, architecture and environmental services, among other specialties. The rankings, based on annual revenue at home and abroad, are further divided into specific market categories. ENR Sourcebooks take that market analysis to a more detailed level by ranking industry leaders in particular market subsets. NOTE: Analyses marked with a PDF icon require an annual ENR print subscription to access.

A.4.2 Top Design Firms April 14, 2014 The design profession has been hit hard over the past six years. By some estimates, as many as 40% of architects were unemployed during the height of the recession, in 2009. Engineers fared better but not by much. Everybody did more with less. Now, after several fits and starts over the past few years, the market finally is in recovery mode. It's no bull market, but strength is building. Still, many "lean and mean" project delivery methods born of the recession remain in place.

What might have been a pipe dream 15 years ago is now reality for architects and engineers. Although the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards still lead much of this revolution, green building work also is pushing into new boundaries beyond LEED standards.

The growing market for green design can be seen in the results of ENR's Top 100 Green Design Firms list. As a group, the Top 100 generated $4.73 billion in design

revenue in 2013 from projects registered with and actively seeking certification from third-party ratings groups under objective sustainable-design standards, such as the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED standards. For the group, this revenue is a 13.3% increase from the $4.18 billion in 2012.

ENR has produced a ranking of top 100 green design firms based on the volume of sustainable and "Green" projects they have worked on.

View Rankings View Full List with Data and Analysis A.4.6 The Top 100 Green Building Contractors 2014 Contractors, like design firms, are finding sustainable construction to be a growing market. However, contractors are now finding themselves with a broader role in green building as new standards call for the increasing use of collaboration at the outset of the process and more commissioning, testing and systems monitoring after the construction process is complete.

The growing market for green design can be seen in the results of ENR's Top 100 Green Contractors list. As a group, the Top 100 generated $44.99 billion in contracting revenue in 2013 from projects registered with and actively seeking certification from third-party ratings groups under objective sustainable-design standards, such as the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. For the group, this revenue is an 11.9% increase, from $44.67 billion in 2012.

European Union Law (indicative)23 http://europa.eu/eu-law/index_en.htm

How EU decisions are made The EU’s standard decision-making procedure is known as 'Ordinary Legislative Procedure’ (ex "codecision"). This means that the directly elected European Parliament has to approve EU legislation together with the Council (the governments of the 28 EU countries). The Commission drafts and implements EU legislation.

EU Treaties The European Union is based on the rule of law. This means that every action taken by the EU is founded on treaties that have been approved voluntarily and democratically by all EU member countries.

The Treaty of Lisbon increased the number of policy areas where 'Ordinary Legislative Procedure' is used. The European Parliament also has more power to block a proposal if it disagrees with the Council.

Regulations, Directives and other acts The aims set out in the EU treaties are achieved by several types of legal act. These legislative acts include regulations, directives, recommendations and opinions. Some are binding, others are not. Some apply to all EU countries, others to just a few.

Application of EU law EU law - which has equal force with national law - confers rights and obligations on the authorities in each member country, as well as individuals and businesses. The authorities in each member country are responsible for implementing EU legislation in national law and enforcing it correctly, and they must guarantee citizens’ rights under these laws.

EU legislation and case-law EU legislation takes the form of:  

Treaties establishing the European Union and governing the way it works EU regulations, directives and decisions - with a direct or indirect effect on EU member states.

EU case-law is made up of judgments from the European Union's Court of Justice, which interpret EU legislation.

C.2.4 Human rights http://eurlex.europa.eu/summary/chapter/human_rights.html?root_default=SUM _1_CODED%3D13&obsolete=true Respect for human rights and dignity, together with the principles of freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law, are values common to all European Union (EU) countries. They also guide the EU's action both inside and outside its borders.

European action in this area is based on the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to which the Charter of Fundamental Rights, proclaimed in 2000, is annexed.

Since 2009, the Charter has been legally binding on the EU institutions and national governments (when they are implementing EU law). The Charter is consistent with the European Convention on Human Rights (adopted in the framework of the Council of

Page 33 of 331

Europe). However, it does not, as such, establish any new rights but serves to gather together existing rights that had been scattered between different sources.

Since the 1970s, the European Union (EU) and its member countries have introduced laws to ensure the careful use of natural resources, to minimise adverse environmental impacts of production and consumption, and to protect biodiversity and natural habitats. Based on Title XX of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, EU environment law covers aspects as wide-ranging as waste management, air and water quality, greenhouse gases and toxic chemicals.

The EU integrates environmental concerns in its other policies, e.g. transport and energy, and is a major global force in pushing for tighter environmental standards and for effective action against climate change.           

Construction Products Regulation (CPR) http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/construction/legislation/index_en.htm

Construction Products Regulation (the CPR) is to ensure reliable information on construction products in relation to their performances. This is achieved by providing a “common technical language", offering uniform assessment methods of the performance of construction products.

These methods have been compiled in harmonised European standards (hEN) and European Assessment Documents (EAD). This common technical language is to be applied by:   

the manufacturers when declaring the performance of their products, but also by the authorities of Member States when specifying requirements for them, and by their users (architects, engineers, constructors…) when choosing the products most suitable for their intended use in construction works.

The provisions of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 prevail over any conflicting provisions in the harmonised standards.

Survey on implementation of the Construction Products Regulation Risk & Policy Analysts is carrying out, on behalf of the ”DG Enterprise and Industry”, an online survey on the implementation of the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

This consultation is aimed at obtaining information for an implementation report to be produced by the Commission by April 2016.

All stakeholders in the construction industry are invited to contribute, until 18 December 2014, by completing the questionnaire that is relevant to their type of actor. Further targeted consultations will follow based on the responses gathered by the questionnaires. The online survey is available at the following website: http://rpaltd.co.uk/cpr_implementation.

National CPR product contact points Under the Construction Products Regulation (Art. 10) Member States shall give information on rules and regulations for construction products. These product contact points [340 KB] have to be established by 1 July 2013.

FIDIC Code of Ethics The International Federation of Consulting Engineers recognises that the work of the consulting engineering industry is critical to the achievement of sustainable development of society and the environment.

To be fully effective not only must engineers constantly improve their knowledge and skills, but also society must respect the integrity and trust the judgement of members of the profession and remunerate them fairly.

All member associations of FIDIC subscribe to and believe that the following principles are fundamental to the behaviour of their members if society is to have that necessary confidence in its advisors.

Business Integrity

Page 44 of 331

Corruption Where corruption occurs Corrupt practices can occur at all stages of the procurement process: In the marketing of engineering services; during the design; in preparing tender documents (including specifications); in pre-qualifying tenderers; in evaluating tenders; in supervising the performance of those carrying out the construction; issuing of payment certificates to contractors; and making decisions on contractors' claims.

Business development The selection of a Consulting Engineering Firm is a most important task and is the basis for the essential and mutual client-consultant trust. The various selection criteria advocated by FIDIC, to be applied in judging a firm's suitability to carry out a project, are completely undermined if the selection process is tainted by corruption. The preparation of a short list is an important part of the process, and must be carried out openly.

The Consulting Engineering Firm should promote availability and capability to perform consulting services only on the basis of quality considerations and should not seek work which calls for expertise beyond their particular training and experience.

A bribe of whatever form, intended to influence an evaluation committee during the prequalification phase, or later during the final retainer discussions, whether directly or indirectly (using mechanisms such as scholarships, actions of agents, or currency exchange facilities) constitutes unethical behaviour.

Design, specification preparation and pre-qualification In the preparation of designs, and later the specification documents, the Consulting Engineering Firm must pursue the best interests of the Client. The Consulting Firm must not accept remuneration from suppliers which are under consideration for incorporation into the design, and must avoid references to brand names. The Consulting Firm must not be influenced to use products or processes because they are owned or promoted by organizations with whom the Consulting Firm may have an affiliation, except where the Consulting Firm has a role, known to the Client, as an equity participant in (for example) a design and build project.

The delivery system or contractual approach recommended to the client must be the most appropriate for the project. Similarly, in evaluating potential tenders during a prequalification period, the best interest of the client must be paramount. This usually means the fostering of competitive tendering. The use of FIDIC forms of Conditions of Contract, which are balanced documents developed and revised in the light of experience, is recommended. Even more importantly, a tendering and evaluation process conducted with transparency and expedition will make more likely a contract award which will be predicated upon proper factors. As quoted in the FIDIC document `Tendering Procedure', the key factors and method of evaluation should be established in the introductions to the tenderers, in order that the subsequent evaluation will be objective and fair to all tenderers.

Page 45 of 331

Construction supervision and claims During the course of the construction, the Consulting Engineering Firm is charged with the responsibility of exercising his discretion in accepting materials, expressing satisfaction or approval, determining quantities and value, and giving opinion, consent or decision. The proper and impartial exercise of that responsibility, in the client's best interests, is at the core of the Consulting Firm's role and is the essence of the FIDIC system.

Consistent with the objectives of this policy statement, it is noted that the FIDIC DesignBuild and Turnkey Conditions of Contract, as with the laws of many countries, provide that bribery by the contractor is a basis for contract termination, much like the more conventional bases for default.

The Consulting Engineering Firm must not offer or accept remuneration of any kind which may be perceived to, or in reality, attempt to influence the selection or compensation procedure or affect the impartial judgement of the Consulting Engineering Firm.

Therefore, FIDIC recommends as follows: 1. Member Associations and their members (firms and individuals) should internally develop and maintain systems to protect their high ethical standards and codes of conduct. They should co-operate candidly with other organizations which seek to reduce corruption. Member firms should associate themselves only with other firms who share similar high ethical standards.

2. Member firms should have a commitment to integrity through the implementation of a Business Integrity Management System involving all levels of management and every employee, focusing on corruption prevention.

3. Members Associations should assist member firms in developing a Business Integrity Management System, by providing guides, training and general support.

4. Member firms should have access to an independent evaluation of the Business Integrity Management System with guidelines developed by the profession.

5. To reduce the opportunities for corruption in the process of procurement of engineering and construction services, qualification-based selection procedures and competitive tendering, respectively, should be used.

6. In implementing particular projects, Consulting Engineering Firm should recommend to their clients the most appropriate and objective procurement process or delivery system, consistent with the demands of the project.

7. Funding agencies should be kept fully informed by the Consulting Firm of the procurement steps as they occur. The Consulting Firm shall notify funding agencies of any irregularities, in order that cancellation or other remedies may be exercised, in accordance with the loan agreement.

8. Member firms should be aware of local law regarding corruption and should promptly report criminal behaviour to the proper law enforcement authorities.

9. FIDIC Member Associations should take prompt disciplinary actions against any member firms found to have violated the FIDIC Code of Ethics. This could include, among other actions, expulsion, and notification to public agencies. Procedures should be established by member associations to assure that the due process of

Page 46 of 331

law is afforded in such cases. The procedure for determining whether the expulsion of a member firm is warranted, should be conducted confidentially but expeditiously.

10. Member associations should foster and support the enactment of legislation in their own countries, which is aimed at curbing and penalising corrupt practices.

These documents are available from the FIDIC Bookshop in printed and electronic versions, and a short text tells you how to choose the right contract.

All FIDIC contracts standard conditions of contract between a client/employer and a contractor. The consulting engineer is not a party to these contracts, but plays a role as the employer's representative to see that the contract is properly carried out.

Additionally, FIDIC publishes a Client/Consultant Model Services Agreement (The White Book), which is the agreement often used by the client when appointing a consultant as his employer's representative for the above contracts.

This "rainbow" of FIDIC contracts/agreements provides the major portion of the total income from publication sales to FIDIC. FIDIC's volunteer committees, who draft nearly all of FIDIC's documents, are continuously drafting or revising and keeping FIDIC's publications informative and up-todate.

Representation impact Equally important for FIDIC is the representation and impact of its publications. Most people first learn about the Federation by reading or using its business practice publications and its standard conditions of contract. FIDIC's image is enhanced by its publication of quality documents.

The most pronounced example of this impact on the Federation's impact are FIDIC's Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction ("The Red Book", owing to its red cover), now in its fourth edition. Many people call the Red Book "FIDIC"

Page 48 of 331

or "the FIDIC", mistakenly using the Federation's acronym (taken from its original French name, Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils) for its best known publication, unaware of the Federation, but certainly aware of its Red Book.

This confusion is not surprising, when one considers that the Red Book, now replaced by the Construction Contract, has been used as the general conditions in standard bidding documents of many development banks, including the World Bank. From 2005, the multilateral development banks (MDB) agreed to a MDB-harmonised version of the Construction Contract for incorporation in their standard bidding documents.

Financial impact FIDIC's publications fulfill an important and essential role for the well being of the Federation. Revenues from publication sales account for more then 25% of FIDIC's income.

FIDIC's annual income from publications has grown from about SFr. 300,000.- in the late 1980's to nearly SFr. 1 200,000.- in 2012. This growth in publications sales has allowed FIDIC to reduce the unit rates for membership subscriptions by nearly one-half over the past decade, an important impact when one considers that more than half of FIDIC's Member Association's are in developing countries, many of which have weak currencies.

With FIDIC being a non-profit, self-supporting Federation, which neither seeks nor accepts financial support from any other body, the essential role played by its publications sales cannot be over emphasized.

Chapter E Codes, Standards, Specifications and Practices for the Construction Industry E.1

Standards

Definition The formal definition of a standard31 is “a document, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context” (ISO/IEC Guide 2:1996, definition 3.2).

Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN) states the following on standards32: Success with Standards Standards generate economic benefits which have been estimated at 17 billion Euros a year for Germany alone.* Standards promote worldwide trade, encouraging rationalization, quality assurance and environmental protection, as well as improving security and communication. Standards have a greater effect on economic growth than patents or licences.

Standardization is a strategic instrument for economic success.

By becoming involved in standards work, businesses can gain a competitive lead through timely access to information and knowledge.

They can use this to their own advantage, reducing the risks and costs involved in R & D as well as greatly reducing transaction costs.

Standards play a major deregulatory role, relieving the state of the responsibility for developing detailed technical specifications.

By referring to standards, legislation is more flexible in adapting to technical advances. * As per DIN study "Economic Benefits of Standardization"33, updated 2011 Standards and the Law34 Standards are not legal documents.

31

http://www.cencenelec.eu/standards/DefEN/Pages/default.aspx http://www.din.de/cmd;jsessionid=IHI4B3NQ85QJOMFCYFZV17Z6.3?level=tplbereich&menuid=47563&languageid=en&cmsareaid=47563 33 http://www.din.de/sixcms_upload/media/2896/GNN_2011_engl_FINAL.pdf 34 http://www.din.de/cmd?cmsrubid=59384&menurubricid=59384&level=tplrubrik&menuid=47561&languageid=en&cmsareaid=47561 32

Because they are private associations, standards bodies can not lay down generally applicable laws – according to the German Constitution legislative authority lies solely with the state.

Neither do standards organizations gain this authority via references to their standards in laws or regulations.

And technical rules do not automatically become technical laws through reference in legal documents.

Use of standards is voluntary; they only become legally binding if they are part of a contractual agreement between parties, or if legislators stipulate conformity with them.

Standards are unequivocal (recognized) rules, and reference to standards in contractual agreements provides legal certainty.

In litigation, judges regularly accept DIN Standards as "prima facie evidence", giving rise to a rebuttable legal presumption (reversal of the burden of proof).

Legal Significance of Standards35 DIN Standards are benchmarks of technical performance and play a significant role in legislation.

Anyone can use DIN Standards, and their use is voluntary. They only become mandatory if they are referred to in agreements, laws or regulations.

Standards can prevent legal disputes because they set out unambiguous specifications.

References to standards in laws and regulations relieve the state and private parties of the responsibility for developing detailed technical specifications.

Even where DIN Standards are not expressly named in a contractual agreement, they are often used to settle legal disputes, especially in product liability cases. Here the standards user can make a prima facie showing of due diligence.

Nevertheless, DIN Standards are not written for the general reader – anyone using standards should have enough technical knowledge that they can take reasonable responsibility for their actions.

E.2

Organizations publishing standards

There are huge numbers of organizations, which publish codes, standards, regulations and practices worldwide, worth-mentioning.

An indicative list of organizations which publish standards worldwide is shown in AFNOR´s “LISTE DES PRINCIPALES COLLECTIONS ETRANGERES DONT AFNOR 35

http://www.din.de/cmd?cmsrubid=59384&menurubricid=59384&level=tplunterrubrik&cmssubrubid=59396&menuid=47561&languageid=en&menusubrubid=59 396&cmsareaid=47561

Page 58 of 331

ASSURE LA DIFFUSION”36.

The organizations selected herein, as an introduction to the subject, form an indicative part only of those usually mentioned in standard contract agreements in the construction industry. Their websites, in English, have been researched.

A number of clients in the construction industry, such as oil & gas companies, have harmonized a preference on applicable codes & standards which they impose on their service providers through contract agreements.

The clients’ choice of codes & standards take precedence on all other codes & standards unless the contract agreements state differently.

The national legislation and standards of the country of operations take precedence on all international codes, standards, regulations and practices unless the contract agreements state differently.

Any person or organization operating in the construction industry should establish, maintain and operate a complete library of legislation, clients´, national and international codes, standards, regulations and practices, as required by their scope of services, accessible by all those responsible, at all places of operations.

Manuals, such as the “Earth Manual”37, or handbooks, like the “Standard Handbook for Civil Engineers”38, or Software, like the “Eurocodes”39, may be included in such a library.

Continuous research is required.

Workplace Safety Standards http://webstore.ansi.org/safety-workplace/Default.aspx Workplace safety standards address safety in a variety of workplaces, whether it be through proper safety precautions, safeguards included in equipment beginning from the design stages, clearly recognizable warning signs and labels, personal protective equipment, or a number of environment specific standards, such as those for confined spaces or explosive atmosphere. The sheer amount of workplace safety standards is evidence of the attention given to the issue, with standards developed both by industry specific associations for their own industries, as well as by international standards bodies that serve to unify across borders.



Advocates infrastructure and environmental stewardship

Strategic Initiatives ASCE’s three strategic initiatives create positive change:   

Infrastructure – Propose practical solutions to maintain and modernize our nation’s deteriorating infrastructure Raise the Bar – Increase education requirements for engineering licensure to better protect the public in the future Sustainability – Embrace and encourage civil engineers’ role as contributors to a sustainable world

Our History On November 5, 1852, a dozen eminent civil engineers gathered at the Croton Aqueduct in New York City in the office of Chief Engineer Alfred W. Craven to establish the American Society of Civil Engineers and Architects. In 1868, a few years after architects had formed a professional society of their own, ASCE adopted its current name. For the first 144 years of its existence, ASCE maintained its headquarters in New York City, relocating six times to progressively larger facilities. In 1996, ASCE moved to its current global headquarters in Reston, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. Annual Report The ASCE Annual Report provides a look at the highlights of the Society’s efforts for the year.  

“Working together in a network” is stamped on our DNA as a group, backed by an associative structure, that mobilizes our in-group resources to develop activities that serve wider public-interest concerns.

As we evolve in a broad network of member-actors, we facilitate the expression of each member's talents to help build better, community-shared prospects for the future.

International cooperation AFNOR, the French standardization organization, directs and coordinates the establishment of national standards (NF) and participation in the definition of European standards (EN) and International standards (ISO and IEC). It is the French member of European and international non-governmental standards organizations such as CEN and CENELEC in Europe, and ISO and IEC internationally. Thanks to the investment of all the players in the French economy, AFNOR is one of the most influential members of these organizations, strategically and technically.

AFNOR also provides expertise for international technical cooperation in the field of quality infrastructure in order to develop synergies and reinforce French influence internationally.

AFNOR is also a network whose activities throughout the world are ever more intensive, with 39 locations, 5 certification organizations and 7 training centers to guide French companies beyond national boundaries in taking their know-how to 100 countries.

COOPERATION AND INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS So as to develop and roll out its services in terms of technical assistance and development, AFNOR collaborates with ADETEF, the French cross-ministry economy, finance and sustainable development agency for international technical cooperation.

Together, they largely contribute to widen the scope of international projects in the fields of metrology, standardization, accreditation and compliance assessment.

Objectives The quality of products and services is at the heart of the economic development and competitiveness of organizations and even of countries on world markets. The quality tools which are metrology, standardization, certification and testing enable them to master all the technological know-how in a given area of competency.

For over 30 years, AFNOR has been involved in technical cooperation and international projects facilitating the entry of developing and/or emerging countries into the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the development of closer ties with the European Union.

Together, AFNOR and ADETEF contribute to the deployment of high-performing infrastructures and contribute their professional expertise to sustainable skills development, relying for this on the competencies and knowledge of specialists. The two organizations are at the service of public authorities, standards institutions and all organizations involved in the quality and security of markets in developing countries.

Page 105 of 331

A network of experts AFNOR can call on the experts in its network: its in-house experts but also the 20,000 specialists in standards committees and the 1000 or so trainers and auditors working on behalf of AFNOR Compétences and AFNOR Editions. For its part, on its website, ADETEF regularly publishes information on projects in hand and job announcements for professionals in its fields of action.

The technical assistance offered by AFNOR and ADETEF in the area of quality infrastructure is deployed in four directions: 

Institutional twinning projects (Adetef), which meet specific requirements defined by the European Commission.



Technical assistance projects (Adetef), which reply to invitations to tender from the European Commission.



Projects led by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) rely on the expertise of their members, among them AFNOR, who are responsible for expressing their requirements as specialists.



The implementation of the ISO Action Plan for developing countries, led by DEVCO, the International Standards Organization (ISO) committee on developing country matters, relies on AFNOR, its principal French speaking member, for its projects targeted at French speaking and developing countries

Multiple activities Industrial equipment, consumer goods, food products, services… The technical assistance activities carried out by ADETEF, with the support of AFNOR, cover numerous fields. These activities comprise: 

Consultancy in the development of national policies: assessment of existing national systems, revision of legislative and regulatory documents, advice on setting up national organizations, assistance in developing local technical bodies, deployment of the European Neighborhood Policy.



Services linked to quality, standardization and certification: training, quality audits and upgrades, development of certification procedures, assistance in setting up training and documentation centers.



Development of metrology, testing and assessment laboratories to apply compliance assessment procedures: investigation and assessment of requirements, provision of equipment, training for laboratory professionals, testing to European and international standards, evaluation and preparation for accreditation.



Assistance in setting up quality procedures in professional and academic training organizations.

Page 106 of 331

International projects allow a real exchange with experts from different countries, members of national standards bodies and international organizations… For several years, AFNOR has been meeting its sister organizations and has signed numerous cooperation agreements for joint actions on standardization, training and certification.

AFNOR AND EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL BODIES Did you know that 90% of standards established within AFNOR are of European or international origin? Indeed, AFNOR takes an active part in standardization activities carried out in international and European bodies with the aim of promoting and defending French interests. A French delegation of experts attends the meetings of these bodies and takes part in the work in hand. This delegation then reports back on the exchanges and actions to the national standards commission responsible for monitoring the proceedings from the French standpoint.

AFNOR: a strong international presence AFNOR has permanent seats in the governance bodies of the International Standards Organization (ISO). The AFNOR Standards Director is a member of ISO's Council and of its Technical Management Board. Until the end of 2015, the current Director General of AFNOR, Olivier Peyrat, holds the position of Vice President (finance), alongside the vice presidents for policy and technical management.

AFNOR is the third most important contributing member of the Organization out of nearly 163 member countries.

It is also the second most important contributor within CEN, the European Committee for Standardization which brings together 33 countries. AFNOR is a member of CENELEC and IEC .

In 2012, France obtained 21 new responsibilities within CEN and ISO. This strong presence at the European and international decision making levels allows AFNOR to defend French interests effectively in Europe and worldwide.

INTERNATIONAL PROACTIVENESS International projects and the signing of cooperation agreements make for privileged relations with many countries in standardization, certification, training and publications.

Page 107 of 331

Exchanges notably exist with China and Brazil and also with French-speaking countries supported by the Réseau Normalisation et Francophonie.

Agreements and partnerships Standardization, Certification, Training, Publication… The four competencies of the AFNOR Group enable privileged relations to be developed with China, Brazil, Algeria, Macedonia… Cooperation agreements have notably been signed between AFNOR and these countries in the fields of information exchange, standardization, compliance assessment and documentation.

Standardization in the French-speaking world Created in 2007 by AFNOR and the Bureau de Normalisation du Québec (BNQ), the Réseau Normalisation et Francophonie (RNF) is devoted to standardization in Frenchspeaking countries and brings together national standards organizations or bodies promoting quality active in Africa, North America and Europe.

Chaired by Jacques Girard, BNQ Director, RNF has as its Vice President Barama Sarr, Director of the Association Sénégalaise de Normalisation (ASN) and as its Secretary General Alain Durand, former Secretary General of AFNOR. http://www.lernf.org/ Standardization - mission overview The importance of standards in our daily lives will surprise you! In addition to industrial products and equipment, standardization covers new fields, such as services, risks, management and more, and involves an increasing number of participants: local councils, consumer associations, professionals, craftsmen, etc. Guaranteeing openness and consultation, in direct relation with the globalization of markets, standardizationis at the heart of the challenges of our companies of tomorrow. As the French representative within European and international standards organizations, AFNOR works to the benefit of the innovation, performance and sustainable development of companies and civil society.

The French Standardization Strategy 2011-2015 What do a sheet of A4 paper, drinking water, a safety helmet and a pressure cooker have in common? Standardization! All of these items have been the subject of important discussions at French, European and international level to reach a consensus on the criteria they must meet; criteria aiming to establish the best compromise between the state of a technology or procedure and economic constraints.

What primarily drives the members of standardization commissions around the world to become involved in this large-scale work is their desire to define a level of quality and safety for products and services. End users now have the assurance that their coffee machine is not going to explode due to poorly controlled pressure, the emergency stop button on a machine tool is visible and within reach, their payment card can be inserted into any terminal anywhere in the world, goods transport containers are suitable for boats, trucks and trains the world over, and so on.

Page 108 of 331

Standards also represent a major challenge for companies. They facilitate the free movement of their products on a market by encouraging the interoperability and comparability of products and services. They thus contribute to the competitiveness of organizations and enable a certain rationalization of production or the business. The standardization of organization methods (also known as standardization of management systems) enables bodies (both public and private) to have the best of practices to optimize their resources (human, material and financial) and be more efficient. Quality, safety and environment management standards therefore provide the methodological tools for improving the effectiveness of organizations.

Standards are voluntary in nature and there is no obligation to conform to them. They represent companies' commitments to satisfying a recognized and approved level of quality and safety. By being cited as reference documents, standards can support mandatory regulations issued by public authorities. Only 2% of standards are mandatory.

The life of standards Like organizations, standards are continually changing to the meet new constraints and future challenges. Initiated by the economic players concerned, they are drafted by consensus between all those potentially affected by their application. Subject to publicapproval before being certified, they are then regularly analysed to ensure they continue to be consistent with their initial objectives. Because AFNOR guarantees impartiality, effectiveness and pertinence, it has been awarded the responsibility of representing French interests in international and European standardization and of promulgating French standards.

Drafting a European standard (EN) The steps involved in drafting a European standard 1. Creation of a new Technical Committee The request to propose work is formulated by a CEN-member national standards body to the technical governance authority (CEN Technical Board). It is submitted to the 31 members of the CEN for input for three months. A new Technical Committee is created once a majority of the 2/3 who have voted is in favour, abstentions excluded, and five members are ready to become actively involved in the work.

2. Inclusion of a new item in the programme of work of an existing technical committee A new work item can be included in the programme of work of an existing technical committee on the proposal of a national standards body or existing TC if 71% of the weighted votes cast are in favour, abstentions excluded, and five members are ready to become actively involved in the work. If a reference document (ISO or IEC document or any other appropriate document which may serve as a basis for the work) exists, the PQ (Primary Question) or UAP (Unique Acceptance Procedure) apply directly. If a reference document does not exist, a working draft is drawn up by the TC (Technical Committee), SC (Sub-Committee) or WG (Working Group).

Page 109 of 331

3. The CEN/CENELEC enquiry This is implemented for the drafts established under the responsibility of a TC. Requests for national deviations to take account of a legal requirement must be presented as early as possible and at the latest during the CEN/CENELEC enquiry, which lasts five months.

4. The formal vote Approval of the final text of a draft European standard (EN) or CEN Technical Specification (CEN/TS), addressed in the three official languages (English, French and German) is granted by means of a formal vote by members. The vote lasts two months.

Each vote must be submitted unconditionally, although there is the possibility of adding editorial comments. A European standard (or a Technical Specification) is approved if 71% of the weighted votes cast (abstentions excluded) are in favour.

5. Regular review of European standards (confirmation, revision or cancellation) Every European standard is reviewed during the fifth year of its life and every five years thereafter by the responsible TC/SC, with a view to confirming, revising or cancelling it.

Drafting an International Standard (ISO) Steps involved in drafting an international standard 1. Creation of a new Technical Committee The request to propose work is formulated by an ISO-member national standards body to the technical governance authority (ISO Technical Management Board). This is submitted to the 107 members of the ISO for input for three months. At the end of this consultation, the Technical Management Board is invited to approve the creation of a new Technical Committee once a majority of the 2/3 who have voted is in favour, abstentions excluded, and five members are ready to become actively involved in the work.

2. The New Work Item Proposal (NP) A new work item can be included in the programme of work of an existing technical committee on the proposal of a national standards body, organization in liaison or existing TC. The proposal is distributed to the members of the technical committee if the simple majority of votes is in favour, abstentions excluded, and five members are ready to become actively involved in the work.

3. The committee draft (CD) The committee draft (CD) is submitted to the members of the TC for a period of two, three or four months. The decision to release a draft for enquiry must be made in compliance with the principle of consensus. In the event of doubt, approval by 2/3 of the P-members (active participants) of the Technical Committee may be deemed sufficient.

Page 110 of 331

4. The draft international standard (DIS) The ISO Central Secretariat releases the DIS to all the national bodies for a five months vote. The draft can be submitted to the next step once a majority of the 2/3 of votes cast by the P-members of the TC or SC are in favour and the number of negative votes is less than 25% of all votes cast, abstentions excluded.

5. The final draft international standard (FDIS) The ISO Central Secretariat releases the FDIS to all the national bodies for a two months vote. The final draft is approved once a majority of the 2/3 of votes cast by the P-members of the TC or SC is in favour and the number of negative votes is less than 25% of all votes cast, abstentions excluded.

6. The Fast Track procedure Within the scope of this procedure, a document is submitted for approval directly as:  

A draft International Standard (DIS) to the ISO member committees or, If the document was drawn up by an international body with standardization activities recognized by the ISO Council, directly as a final draft International Standard (FDIS).

7. Regular review of international standards (confirmation, revision or cancellation) Every international standard is reviewed during the fifth year of its life and every five years thereafter by the responsible TC/SC, with a view to confirming, revising or cancelling it.

Construction trades http://www.afnor.org/en/profiles/activity-area/construction-trades All of the actors working directly or indirectly in the building and construction economy have made increasing progress in understanding, accepting and integrating the concepts of quality, health and safety. Drawing on relays like the AFNOR to apply these concepts has enabled them to take concrete steps towards meeting integrated growth objectives in a well-contoured society-conscious framework.

Today the sector has to contend with new pressure to internalize the environmental impact of the construction economy, not just in terms of ecosystems but also in how it

Page 112 of 331

uses the materials and resources required to see worksite projects through.

The environment is a major issue in the EU, to the extent that there is enormous pressure on sector professionals to integrate the environmental component into technical specifications for construction products. This is where the AFNOR steps in as the body responsible for CE marking on products governed by European Directive 89/106/EEC.

E.3.13 Austrian Electrotechnical Association (OVE) 67 https://www.ove.at/en/ The OVE Austrian Electrotechnical Association unites enterprises and institutions as well as experts and interested parties from the entire field of electrical engineering. The Association promotes the reputation of the entire line of business, the development of the profession as well as the progress of technology and science and deals with current challenges of electrical engineering and information technology.

OVE – a traditional and yet dynamic association The Austrian Electrotechnical Association (OVE) was founded in 1883, when electrical engineering was a new but fast developing technology. The young organization set the following objectives: to support the development of electrical engineering and to care for the safety of electrotechnical applications at the same time, to establish contact between universities and economy and to offer an information platform for professionals and people interested in this new and revolutionary technology.

   

Outstanding experts like Prof. Ernst Mach, Siegfried Marcus or Prof. Josef Stefan realized the importance of an association of theorists and men with practical experience in the field of electrical engineering and became founder members of OVE. Before long, further experts like Prof. Ludwig Boltzmann joined the Austrian Electrotechnical Association.

As the safe use of electrical equipment and installations was its main purpose, the association published the first safety regulations for electrical engineering already in 1889, being one of the first institutions dealing with electrical standardization worldwide.

Within the next decades electrical engineering was prospering – the association paved the way for technological advance, its members contributed notably to technological innovations. Exceptional members were for example Prof. h.c. Dr. Gottfried Biegelmeier, who invented the ground fault circuit interrupter, and the computer expert Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Heinz Zemanek, to name but a few.

Today, 130 years after its founding, the primary objectives of the association are still the same: electrical standardization and certification ensure safety as well as technological and subsequently economic advance. OVE supports the economy in the global market and guarantees the compliance with national as well as international standards and guidelines in an objective and independent manner.

With ALDIS, Austrian Lightning Detection and Information System, one focus of OVE is on lightning detection, documentation and internationally renowned research activities.

The OVE Academy offers professional training and provides experts, producers and 67

operators with a platform for knowledge exchange in close cooperation with universities and technical colleges.

The OVE Societies give a platform to all branches of electrical engineering and stimulate the dialogue between science, economy and the interested public. youngOVE, the association’s student network, and OVEyoungEngineers, the OVE's plattform for young professionals, are dedicated to the needs of the next generation of technical engineers and scientists.

Today OVE stands for a modern, dynamic association offering an extensive service portfolio in and for a successful and vibrant branch.

Standardization – OEK The department Austrian Electrotechnical Committee (OEK) of the Austrian Electrotechnical Association (OVE) takes an active part, as the representative of the Austrian economy, in the European and international electrotechnical standardization bodies, namely CENELEC (Comité Européen de Normalisation Electrotechnique) in Brussels and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) in Geneva. The Austrian experts contribute intensively to the production of the future electrotechnical regulations.

All concerned circles of the Austrian industry, commerce and trade, science and research as well as consumers delegate their experts to the technical committees, subcommittees and working groups. The work of the OEK is carried out under public law and with context of the electrotechnical act as well as the decrees that go with it.

E.3.14 Austrian Standards Institute (ASI)68 https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/home/ About ASI https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-us/ In Austria, around 4,000 experts in active committees develop standards for the domestic, European and global market. They represent the interests of the economy, consumers, research, administration and society.

Together with them, Austrian Standards – the Austrian competence centre for standards – finds solutions ensuring that everything fits together perfectly and life runs smoothly.

Austrian Standards distributes know-how laid down in standards as quickly as possible so that people and the economy can profit from it.

Austrian Standards, established in 1920, is structured in the business divisions of development, consulting, publishing, training and certification and finances the standardization system by more than 80 per cent through the sale of its products and services. Its legal basis is defined in the Standardization Act (Normengesetz 1971).

Austrian Standards is an internationally renowned member of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Austrian Standards …     

supports the economy, administration, science and consumers in setting standards, organizes and manages committees drafting and developing standards, publishes national, European and International standards, maintains relations with other standards organizations all over the world, assists Austria’s best-practice experts in playing a leading role in shaping European and international standards.

Austrian Standards stands for the Austrian Standards Institute, a non-profit service organization (association), and its subsidiary Austrian Standards plus GmbH, established in 2008.

ASI Services https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-us/our-services/ The services that Austrian Standards provides for the economy, administration, science, state and society are manifold. They are a prerequisite of economic growth, competitiveness, innovation and prosperity.

The key tasks 

   

experts in European and international standardization Ensuring access to recognized knowledge as laid down in national, European and international standards as well as foreign standards and regulations Disseminating comprehensive information on changes and innovations in standards and regulations Offering information and training related to standards and their environment in the economy, law and technology Certifying the conformity of products, services and qualifications with standards

ASI Values https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-us/our-values/ Standards are values. Concrete values also underpin the responsible work of Austrian Standards. In line with Austrian Standards’ policy, these are:       

Independence Neutrality Customer benefits Self-financing Competition Regional/global orientation Equality and non-discrimination

ASI Network https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-us/our-network/ Standardization is always team work. Just like the experts contributing to the development of standards, Austrian Standards forms part of diverse networks.

These include the European standardization organizations CEN, CENELEC and ETSI as well as the international standardization bodies ISO, IEC and ITU. Of course, these networks also relate to the individual national organizations developing standards and rules in Austria and abroad. Additionally, they comprise public institutions, professional organizations, NGOs and EU institutions or agencies of the United Nations – in short, all persons and organizations having a vital interest in common standards.

About standards https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/ In a modern economy characterized by the division of labour, standards fulfil manifold tasks. Being voluntary rules prepared by those who need them in everyday practice, they provide clarity in many fields.

They specify harmonized requirements for products and services, ensure the comparability of test methods, define procedures and methods and provide confirmed knowledge (the state of the art) that serves as a basis for facilitating further developments and innovations.

Page 122 of 331

And: Standards ensure safety in all fields of everyday life, be it in nurseries, road traffic or sports activities. They protect employees in industry, at offices, laboratories or construction sites.

What are standards https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/what-are-standards/ Standards constitute confirmed expertise. They provide guidance for effectively planning and implementing entrepreneurial projects. They are a prerequisite for succeeding in a highly developed economy characterized by a division of labour.

Standards document the current state of the art in technology and business. They are accessible to everybody and constitute the basis of innovation. They provide, for example, standardized quality, safety and testing criteria.

Standards are a prerequisite for tackling technical and economic tasks. On principle, their application is voluntary, but makes sense. In special cases, legislators (at the national or regional level) may declare standards or parts thereof "mandatory" by acts of parliament or regulations. In such cases, compliance with them is no longer voluntary but mandatory.

Standards form the basis for proper processes in all fields of the economy and administration. They make sure that everything fits together perfectly and life runs smoothly.

Standards are an important tool for entering new markets. They benefit Austrian exporters, for example, because they reduce transaction costs.

Standards ensure safety and build trust. Be it at work, in business, during leisure activities or at home – people must be able to rely on generally recognized and proven standards.

How are standards created? https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/what-are-standards/how-arestandards-created/ Standards are developed precisely by those who need them and apply them later on.

Specifically, these are:      

Enterprises (producers, service providers) Public authorities (at the national or regional level) Testing, inspection or certification bodies Scientists and researchers (universities, research institutes) Consumers (business-to-business customers, final consumers) Civil society (e.g. consumer protection or environmental protection organizations, etc.)

They delegate their experts to the committees of Austrian Standards where they develop the contents of standards and rules in a dialogue with other stakeholders and define the Austrian position on European and international standardization projects.

Page 123 of 331

Everybody can apply for membership in a committee of Austrian Standards.

There are clearly defined rules and procedures for developing standards. Austrian Standards makes sure that they are respected and that standards are prepared in line with principles such as unbiased collaborative work, transparency and consensus.

Which standards do exist? https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/what-are-standards/whichstandards-do-exist/ Standards are as varied and diverse as life and the economic sectors needing standards.

They can be classified by various criteria: by subject fields (e.g. construction, machinery, management, medical technology), by their type (e.g. basic, specification, test standards) or by their origin - e.g. ÖNORM (Austria), DIN (Germany), NF (France), BS (United Kingdom).

EN – European standards – and ISO – International standards – are of particular importance as they are applicable Europe-wide and world-wide, respectively.

The value added of standards https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/the-value-added-of-standards/ Standards improve products, services, production and work processes and make them safer. Thanks to standards, systems begin to integrate and efficiency is raised.

European and international standards facilitate international trade in goods and services.

Who benefits from standards? https://www.austrian-standards.at/en/about-standards/the-value-added-ofstandards/who-benefits-from-standards/ "Standards benefit all". This is not a hollow phrase but a fact because the existence of standards results in diverse practical advantages, in particular for: Enterprises    

Reduction of transaction costs Less resources required for preparing business transactions and for administration Strengthening of the competitive position Market expansion (owing to European and international standards)

State   

Knowledge in the form of public goods High multiplier effect: each euro invested in standardization results in 40-fold returns Standardization's share in economic growth amounts to 25%

Who we are What we do How we work How we are run Complaints and feedback Working for us CITB Procurement

Who we are Our history CITB or Construction Industry Training Board is the Industry Training Board and was established on 21 July 1964 1964 Industrial Training Act The 1964 Industrial Training Act gave the then Minister of Labour statutory powers to create industrial training boards which would be responsible for training in a number of UK industries, setting standards and providing advice to firms.

This Act (amended in 1982) gives CITB its mandate to collect a levy from construction employers and to use this to support training and skills in construction.

Services provided through the levy system include:      

Financial support to employers Advice for employers about training needs Information, advice and guidance for those seeking careers in construction Research including labour market forecasting to anticipate and plan for skills needs Qualifications & standards for the industry Specialist training facilities and services

As a social enterprise and charity, we sell training and skills related products that our beneficiaries need; so that any profit can go towards our work for industry. You’ll also find here on our website, information about services we support or manage on behalf of other organisations - such as industry card schemes.

So if you decide to buy something from us, you can be sure any money we make goes directly back into supporting the industry. You may even find you’re entitled to grant support when buying a training course or taking on an apprentice - although you don't have to use our services to get grants.

Product and services Our products and services include:  

Apprenticeships recently rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted Training through our National Construction College (NCC) and National Specialist

the Standards Association of German Industry.

DIN and the Federal Government In 1975 DIN signed an agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany in which DIN is recognized as the sole national standards organization for Germany.

Develop Standards DIN, the German Institute for Standardization, develops standards and technical rules as a service to industry, the state and society as a whole. This process involves the skills and experience of some 26, 000 experts. By agreement with the German Federal Government, DIN is the acknowledged national standards body and represents German interests in European and international standards organizations.

Standards Committees The input of external experts into standardization is organized in standards committees and their subsidiary working bodies. One standards committee is responsible for each distinct area of activity and also coordinates the corresponding standardization work at European and international level. As a rule, the standards committee in DIN comprise a number of technical committees.

Financing Standards Work at DIN76 A solid company is distinguished by solid financing77 70 % of the financing of the DIN Group (DIN German Institute for Standardization, Beuth Verlag GmbH, and DIN Software GmbH) comes from its own income generated by its services and products. 13 % of its revenue takes the form of project funds from industry, a further 11 % is financed through public project funds, while 5 % is covered by its membership fees.

Costs were maintained at a stable level, not only for the standards development process but also for standards distribution and the maintenance of 469,098 standards and technical rules. Overall expenditure can be broken down to approximately 42 % for personnel expenses and 58 % for material costs.

To ensure that the complex standardization processes are performed highly efficiently at the lowest possible cost, while at the same time developing and providing the products demanded by the market, especially by small and medium-sized companies, about 6,6 million euros worth of planned investments were made in the last business year, around 20 % of which was spent on hard- and software alone. These investments in IT structures, especially, help increase efficiency and lower costs for the external experts. Standards can be developed by experts working across the globe via the Internet, and video conferences help save on travel expenses. The standards development process is accelerated, the quality of products is improved, and the costs 76

Page 135 of 331

incurred by all participants in this process are reduced.

But the planned investments made in buildings at the sites in Berlin, Hamburg, Koblenz and Pforzheim during the past business year also have a positive effect on standards work and help us meet the needs of an internationally oriented group of businesses.

Each year the DIN Group receives approximately 50,000 guests from all over the world at its Berlin site alone. Having conference room technology that fulfils the highest demands contributes greatly to the success of the standardization meetings, and investing in a modern in-house restaurant allows us to offer high-quality catering services to our external experts, guests and staff alike.

Last year DIN welcomed 67 new members, with only 32 cancellations, giving a total of 1,934 members by the end of 2012. This steady increase in membership illustrates the confidence industry has in DIN's work. Altogether, DIN members represent around 4,5 million employees, or 11 % of those employed in Germany. Its members also send to DIN about 8,400 staff members - about 30 % of all standards experts - to participate in standards committees, thus contributing their knowledge and expertise to the development of German Standards. The greatest number of DIN Members are based in North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg, closely followed by Bavaria, reflecting the concentration of industry within the German Laender.

Further information on the financing of standards projects Downloads DIN – Financing standards and specifications (460.5 KB) Standards and the Law Standards are not legal documents.

Because they are private associations, standards bodies can not lay down generally applicable laws – according to the German Constitution legislative authority lies solely with the state.

Neither do standards organizations gain this authority via references to their standards in laws or regulations.

And technical rules do not automatically become technical laws through reference in legal documents.

Use of standards is voluntary; they only become legally binding if they are part of a contractual agreement between parties, or if legislators stipulate conformity with them.

Standards are unequivocal (recognized) rules, and reference to standards in contractual agreements provides legal certainty.

In litigation, judges regularly accept DIN Standards as "prima facie evidence", giving rise to a rebuttable legal presumption (reversal of the burden of proof).

Organisations and strategies81 Safety and health at work is now one of the most important and most highly developed aspects of EU’s policy on employment and social affairs.

Work in this field is a complex interaction between various actors at EU and Member State level, including in particular governments and other public authorities, as well as workers’ and employers’ organisations.

While in the past a vast body of Community legislation on safety and health at work was elaborated, nowadays, the development and implementation of holistic approaches and strategies towards occupational safety and health (OSH) becomes more and more important to further improve the working conditions in the EU Member States.

National Focal Points83 The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work is a network organisation, with a "focal point" in each Member States as well as in European Free Trade Association (EFTA) States and candidate and potential candidate countries. This enables EU-OSHA to be more successful in the creation of healthier, safer, and more productive workplaces by permitting a greater sharing of information.

Nominated by each government as EU-OSHA’s official representative in that country, the focal points are typically the competent national authority for safety and health at work and are primary contributors to the implementation of the EU-OSHA’s work programmes.

Each focal point manages its own tripartite network comprising of government bodies and representatives from worker and employer organisations. This network provides input to the EU-OSHA’s work and the mechanism to disseminate products and information to national stakeholders. In addition, the focal points are active in the planning and implementation of EU-OSHA campaigns as well as nominating national experts to the agency’s groups and seminars.

Select a country from the list on the left https://osha.europa.eu/en/oshnetwork/focal-points European Safety and Health Legislation84 A wide variety of Community measures in the field of safety and health at work have been adopted on the basis of Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 137 TEC). European directives are legally binding and have to be transposed into national laws by the Member States.

focusing on specific aspects of safety and health at work are the fundamentals of European safety and health legislation.

These directives set out minimum requirements and fundamental principles, such as the principle of prevention and risk assessment, as well as the responsibilities of employers and employees. Moreover, a series of European guidelines aim to facilitate the implementation of European directives as well as European standards which are adopted by European standards organisations.

For information on international law in the area of safety and health at work visit the website of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the relevant implementing laws.

European Directives85 A directive is a legal act provided for in the EU Treaty. It is binding in its entirety and obliges Member States to transpose it into national law within the set deadline. A directive enters into force once it is published in the Official Journal of the EU. EU directives on safety and health at work have their legal foundation in Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 137 TEC), which gives the EU the authority to adopt directives in this field. A wide variety of EU directives setting out minimum health and safety requirements for the protection of workers have since been adopted. Member States are free to adopt stricter rules for the protection of workers when transposing EU directives into national law, and so legislative requirements in the field of safety and health at work can vary across EU Member States.

The OSH Framework Directive Workplaces, equipment, signs, personal protective equipment Exposure to chemical agents and chemical safety Exposure to physical hazards Exposure to biological agents Provisions on workload, ergonomic and psychosocial risks Sector specific and worker related provisions

The Community Strategy on Safety and Health at Work sets out the political framework for European safety and health policy. The starting point for legislative initiatives at European level is a legislative proposal drafted by the European Commission. It is the Council and the European Parliament under the ‘ordinary legislative procedure’ (former co-decision-procedure) which adopt EU directives. In some cases they delegate the legislative power to adapt directives to technical progress to the European Commission.

The European social partners play a vital role in the European decision-making process in the field of safety and health at work as they have to be consulted at various stages.

The Treaty also foresees the possibility of concluding autonomous agreements. So far European social dialogue has resulted in the adoption of several autonomous agreements.

A series of individual directives focusing on specific aspects of safety and health at work were adopted on the basis of the Framework Directive. Nevertheless, the Framework Directive continues to apply to all areas covered by the individual directives. Where individual directives contain more stringent and specific provisions, these special provisions prevail. Individual directives tailor the principles of the Framework Directive to:     

specific tasks (e.g. manual handling of loads) specific hazards at work (e.g. exposure to dangerous substances or physical agents) specific workplaces and sectors (e.g. temporary work sites, extractive industries, fishing vessels) specific groups of workers (e.g. pregnant women, young workers, workers with a fixed duration employment contract) certain work related aspects (e.g. organisation of working time).

The individual directives define how to assess these risks and, in some instances, set limit values for certain substances or agents.

The standards set in these individual directives are minimum standards for the protection of workers and Member States are allowed to maintain or establish higher levels of protection.

In addition, a series of EU directives based on Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 95 TEC) relate to safety and health aspects. On that legal basis, a series of technical directives under the so-called ‘New Approach’ were adopted whereby the European standardisation organisations – European Committee for Standardization (CEN), European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and European Telecommunications

Page 144 of 331

Standards Institute (ETSI) – set and update European standards on a regular basis.

Historical background on safety and health legislation The first European directives on safety and health at work were adopted on the basis of the general market harmonisation provisions (ex Articles 100 and 100a TEC). This was due to a lack of an explicit legislative competence in the Treaty in the field of safety and health at work until the mid-1980s. Until then occupational safety and health was seen as an annex to market harmonisation and the economic policies of the European Economic Community. For example, Directive 77/576 EEC on the harmonisation of national laws on safety signs at the workplace or Directive 78/610 EEC on the harmonisation of occupational exposure limits to vinyl chloride monomers were adopted on this basis.

The Single European Act 1987 was a major step forward in that it introduced a new legal provision on social policy to the Treaty aiming at ‘improvements, especially in the working environment, as regards the health and safety of workers’. By inserting this provision into the Treaty, the importance of safe working conditions was made evident.

Moreover, the new Social Chapter authorised the European Commission to promote social dialogue between employers and labour representatives at a European level.

With the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the legislative competence in the fields of European social policies was further strengthened by the incorporation of the social agreement into the EC Treaty. The Lisbon Treaty – apart from the renumbering of the Articles on social policy – kept the substance of the provisions of ex Articles 136 ff TEC (now Articles 151 ff of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).

European Guidelines86 This section provides information on European guidelines.

Guidelines are non-binding documents which aim to facilitate the implementation of European directives. Guidelines can be issued in various forms including practical guidelines from the European Commission setting out best practice for the prevention of risks, Council Recommendations, European Commission Communications, etc.

The guidelines in this section are sorted by topics. For further information click on one of the categories listed below.

E.3.19 European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)87 http://www.cenelec.eu/index.html About CENELEC Who we are CENELEC is the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization and is responsible for standardization in the electrotechnical engineering field. CENELEC prepares voluntary standards, which help facilitate trade between countries, create new markets, cut compliance costs and support the development of a Single European Market.

CENELEC creates market access at European level but also at international level, adopting international standards wherever possible, through its close collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), under the Dresden Agreement.88 In an ever more global economy, CENELEC fosters innovation and competitiveness, making technology available industry-wide through the production of voluntary standards.

Through the work of its members together with its experts, the industry federations and consumers, European Standards are created in order to encourage technological development, to ensure interoperability and to guarantee the safety and health of consumers and provide environmental protection.

Designated as a European Standards Organization by the European Commission, CENELEC is a non-profit technical organization set up under Belgian law. It was created in 1973 as a result of the merger of two previous European organizations: CENELCOM and CENEL. What we stand for CENELEC is a Non Profit International Association, forming the officially recognised European Standardization Organisations89 (ESOs) together with CEN, the European Committee for Standardization and ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

Page 146 of 331

CENELEC acts as a platform for experts to develop European Standards (ENs), which facilitate world trade by removing barriers to trade, enhancing economic growth and leading to new markets.

Our objective is to agree on common specifications to respond to the needs of industry, meet consumer expectations and contribute to the consolidation of the European Single Market.

CENELEC is strongly committed to: 





Satisfy the needs of the European industry and other stakeholders in the market place in the areas of standardisation and conformity assessment in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies.

Lead the improvement of all aspects of product quality, product safety, service quality and service safety in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies, including protection of the environment, accessibility and innovation, and so to contribute to the welfare of society.

Support IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission, in achieving its mission: "To be globally recognised as the provider of standards and conformity assessment and related services needed to facilitate international trade in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies.

Our standardization making process is a transparent, consensus-based and open system relying on the full commitment of CENELEC members to implement ENs nationally, which ensures full harmonization of the Single Market and makes the European Standardization System (ESS) unique.

The economic benefits of standardization contribute to growth of all economic and societal actors. Standards belong to the knowledge economy that underpins European industry and society. European standardization is a key instrument for recovery of the European economy.

CENELEC and its National Committees (NCs) work jointly in the interest of European harmonization, creating both standards requested by the market and harmonized standards in support of European legislation.

The standardization system aims to increase market potential, encourage technological development and guarantee the safety and health of consumers and workers, as well as contribute to a greener world.

What we do The standardization process European Standards (ENs) are based on a consensus, which reflects the economic and social interests of 33 CENELEC Member countries channelled through their National Electrotechnical Committees (NCs). Most standards are initiated by industry. Other standardization projects can come from consumers, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) or associations, or even European legislators.

Page 147 of 331

Besides European Standards, CENELEC produces other reference documents, which can be developed quickly and easily: Technical Specifications, Technical Reports and Workshop Agreements.

Participating in the standardization making process Who participates?

Standards are driven by business, and drafted by technical experts in the field. In building European consensus, industry, trade federations, public authorities, academia and NGO representatives are invited to contribute to the standardization process. It is this open participation, which accounts for the strength of European standardization.

How to participate?

The route for participating in the development of European Standards is through national members (NSBs/NCs). They send balanced delegations to represent the concerned interests in a standardization project. European trade associations and interest groups - representing environmentalists, consumers, trade unions, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, amongst others - also have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a standard.

Why participate?

Participation in the process allows a stakeholder to anticipate changes to standards in his sector as well as have a say in the content. A manufacturer wishing to participate in the CENELEC process contacts his NC, either directly or through a trade association.

Through the National Committee, the manufacturer can become involved in a national mirror committee, which is responsible for developing the national position on a particular standard and presenting this position to the relevant CENELEC Technical Body. It may also be possible to become a member of the national delegation of the CENELEC Technical Body, or to be nominated to serve as a technical expert in one of the Working Groups.

CENELEC Products90 CENELEC concentrates most of its work on 2 major deliverables: The European Standard (EN) and the Harmonization Document (HD).

These two documents are referred to commonly as "standards" and must be implemented in all CENELEC member countries, who must also withdraw any conflicting standard.

There are a few differences in the implementation process of EN's and HD's. Basically, the EN must be transposed as it is, not adding or deleting anything.

European Standards Technical Specifications Harmonization Documents Amendments Corrigenda Technical Reports Guides Workshop Agreements Interpretation Sheets

European Standards (EN) European Standards (EN) are documents that have been ratified by one of the 3 European Standards Organizations, CEN, CENELEC or ETSI. They are designed and created by all interested parties through a transparent, open and consensual process.

European Standards are a key component of the Single European Market. Though rather technical and unknown to the general public and media, they represent one of the most important issues for business. Although often perceived as boring and not particularly relevant to some organizations, managers or users, they are actually crucial in facilitating trade and hence have high visibility among manufacturers inside and outside the European territory. A standard represents a model specification, a technical solution against which a market can trade. It codifies best practice and is usually state of the art.

In essence, standards relate to products, services or systems. Now, however, standards are no longer created solely for technical reasons but have also become platforms to enable greater social inclusiveness and engagement with technology, as well as convergence and interoperability within a growing market across industries.

But the European Standard is something much more relevant than this. The CENCENELEC Internal Regulations, Part 2, states that the EN (European Standard) "carries with it the obligation to be implemented at national level by being given the status of a national standard and by withdrawal of any conflicting national standard".

The fact that European Standards must be transposed into a national standard in all member countries guarantees that a manufacturer has easier access to the market of all these European countries when applying European Standards. This applies whether the manufacturer is based in the CENELEC territory or not. Member countries must also withdraw any conflicting national standard: the EN prevails over any national standard.

Technical Specifications A Technical Specification (TS) is a normative document made available by CENELEC in at least one of the three official languages. A TS is established and approved by a technical body by a weighted vote of CENELEC national members. The Technical Specification is announced and made available at national level, but conflicting national standards may continue to exist. A Technical Specification is not permitted to conflict

Page 149 of 331

with an EN or HD. A TS is reviewed every 3 years at the latest. The maximum lifetime of a TS is 6 years.

Technical Specifications are established with a view to serving, for instance, the purpose of:  publishing aspects of a subject which may support the development and progress of the European market,  giving guidance to the market on or by specifications and related test methods,  providing specifications in experimental circumstances and/or evolving technologies.

TSs are not amended but replaced by a new edition with a new date of edition.

However, Corrigenda are possible.

Harmonization Documents A Harmonization Document (HD) is a normative document made available by CENELEC in the three official languages.

The elaboration of a HD includes a public enquiry, followed by an approval by weighted vote of CENELEC national members and final ratification. The Harmonization Document is announced at national level and every conflicting national standard is withdrawn.

Having fulfilled these obligations, a member is free to maintain or issue a national standard dealing with a subject within the scope of the HD, provided that it is equivalent in technical content. The number, title and date of each such national standard shall be notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre. A Harmonization Document does not conflict with any other EN and HD and is periodically reviewed.

During the elaboration and whole lifetime of the Harmonization Document, standstill applies.

The preparation, the approval and the review of an HD follow the same procedure as that given for an EN. Amendments An amendment is a ratified supplementary document to a European Standard (EN) or Harmonization Document (HD) already circulated to CENELEC national members for national implementation, to be read in conjunction with that EN or HD and which alters and/or adds to previously agreed technical provisions in that EN or HD. The result of approval of a draft amendment is the publication of a new edition of the EN or HD in question or the publication of an amendment as such, depending on the nature of the amendment. Preference should be given to the issue of a new edition of the standard.

CENELEC national members have the same obligations for implementation and presentation of the amendment as for the EN or HD. Corrigenda

Page 150 of 331

The removal of printing, linguistic or similar errors from the text of an EN, HD, TS, TR or Guide shall be handled by the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) by the issue of a corrigendum to all CENELEC national members with a request for immediate action as necessary at national level.

Such a corrigendum is not submitted to any enquiry or voting procedure.

Technical Reports (TR) A Technical Report (TR) is an informative document made available by CENELEC in at least one of the official languages, established and approved by a technical body by simple majority vote of CENELEC national members. A Technical Report gives information on the technical content of standardization work.

Technical Reports may be established in cases when it is considered urgent or advisable to provide information to the CENELEC national members, the European Commission, the EFTA Secretariat or other governmental agencies or outside bodies, on the basis of collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an EN. The decision to develop a TR can be taken by the Technical Board (BT), by a CENELEC Technical Committee (TC), a Technical Subcommittee (SC) or by a BTTF. The CENELEC technical body, which prepared the draft TR (prTR) is also responsible for its approval. TRs are approved either in a CENELEC TC voting meeting or by a vote by correspondence of the CENELEC national members. If approved, the TR is made available unchanged to CCMC. TRs are not amended but replaced by a new edition with the same number and new date of edition. However, Corrigenda are possible.

No time limit is specified for the lifetime of TRs, but it is recommended that TRs are regularly reviewed by the responsible technical body to ensure that they remain valid.

Guides A Guide is an informative document made available by CENELEC in at least one of the official languages, established and approved by a corporate body of CENELEC by simple majority vote.

Guides may be established with a view to serving, for instance, the purpose of:  providing technical or administrative orientation to the work of CENELEC,  giving advice on how to deal with matters of standardization,  collecting decisions of a CENELEC corporate body on specific general questions for future equal treatment of such questions,  providing information or guidance on matters of conformity assessment in relation to the standardization activities of CENELEC. Guides are drafted as far as applicable in accordance with the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations - Part 3 and are available in at least one of the official languages of CENELEC.

CENELEC Workshop Agreements (CWA) A CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) is a document made available by CENELEC in at least one of the official languages (English, German, French). It is an agreement, developed and approved by a CENELEC Workshop and owned by CENELEC as a publication, which reflects the consensus of identified individuals and organizations responsible for its content. The Workshop Agreement is announced and possibly made available at national level. Conflicting national normative documents may continue to exist. Revision of a Workshop Agreement is possible.

A CWA shall not conflict with a European Standard (EN) and a Harmonization Document (HD). A CWA shall be withdrawn if the publication of an EN and HD brings the CWA into conflict with the EN and HD. The CWA is valid for 3 years or until its transformation into another deliverable. After 3 years, the CCMC consults the former Workshop participants to see whether a renewal for a further 3 years is appropriate; if not, the CWA should be withdrawn.

To know more on CWA read the document Guidance - Characteristics of the CENCENELEC Workshop Agreement and CEN-CENELEC Workshop guidelines Interpretation Sheets (IS) The CENELEC Interpretation Sheet (IS) is a published sheet giving the interpretation of a CENELEC standard.

In principle, a CENELEC standard is written in such a way that there is no need for interpretation by the user. However, the parties involved in the use of the standards, such as manufacturers, certifiers and legislators, read standards from their own perception and do not always understand the intentions expressed by the standards.

Therefore, the Technical Body responsible for the published standard asks CCMC to issue, after due approval procedure, an Interpretation sheet, which purpose is to clarify the meaning or the intention of a specific part of the standard.

European standardization Benefits for you Participate

European Standardization http://www.cen.eu/you/EuropeanStandardization/Pages/default.aspx A key instrument for the Single Market Standards are documents that set out specifications and other technical information with regard to various kinds of products, materials, services and processes.

Standards provide a basis for mutual understanding among individuals, businesses, public authorities and other kinds of organizations. They facilitate communication, commerce, measurement and manufacturing.

European Standards bring benefits to businesses and consumers in terms of reducing costs, enhancing performance and improving safety. They also help to ensure the compatibility of different components, products and services.

European Standards can be used to enhance safety and performance, improve energy efficiency, and protect consumers, workers and the environment. They complement European and national policies, and make it easier for businesses and other actors to respect relevant legislation.

European Standardization is a key instrument for consolidating the Single Market and facilitating cross-border trade – within Europe and also with the rest of the world. It is a valuable tool for strengthening the competitiveness of European companies, thereby creating the conditions for economic growth.

One European Standard replaces 33 national standards The Members of CEN are the National Standardization Bodies of 33 European countries – including all the member states of the European Union (EU) and other countries that are part of the European Single Market.

CEN works with its Members to develop and define European Standards in response to specific needs that have been identified by businesses and other users of standards.

European standards are developed by teams of experts who have particular knowledge of the specific sector or topic that is being addressed. The members of Technical

Page 155 of 331

Committees as well as sub-committees and working groups are nominated by the national standardization organizations.

Each National Standardization Body that is part of the CEN system is obliged to adopt each European Standard as a national standard and make it available to customers in their country. They also have to withdraw any existing national standard that conflicts with the new European Standard. Therefore, one European Standard (EN) becomes the national standard in all 33 countries covered by CEN Members.

Moreover, many European Standards are also adopted as identical national standards

by CEN Affiliates, which are the National Standards Bodies of 17 neighbouring countries, and by National Standardization Bodies in other countries around the world.

European Standards are voluntary The European Standards published by CEN are developed by experts, established by consensus and adopted by the Members of CEN. It is important to note that the use of standards is voluntary, and so there is no legal obligation to apply them.

A tool to comply with European legislation Around 30% of the European Standards published by CEN have been developed in response to specific requests (standardization mandates) issued by the European Commission. Many of these standards are known as 'harmonized standards'. They enable businesses to ensure that their products or services comply with essential requirements that have been set out in European legislation (EU Directives). In such cases, we can say that the standard provides 'presumption of conformity' with the essential requirements of the relevant legislation.  

CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, is an association that brings together the National Standardization Bodies of 33 European countries.

CEN is one of three European Standardization Organizations (together with CENELEC and ETSI) that have been officially recognized by the European Union and by the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) as being responsible for developing and

Page 156 of 331

defining voluntary standards at European level.

CEN provides a platform for the development of European Standards and other technical documents in relation to various kinds of products, materials, services and processes.

CEN supports standardization activities in relation to a wide range of fields and sectors including: air and space, chemicals, construction, consumer products, defence and security, energy, the environment, food and feed, health and safety, healthcare, ICT, machinery, materials, pressure equipment, services, smart living, transport and packaging.

CEN Members http://standards.cen.eu/dyn/www/f?p=CENWEB:5 CEN's National Members are the National Standardization Bodies (NSBs) of the 28 European Union countries, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Turkey plus three countries of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland). There is one member per country.

The standardization system in Europe is based on the national pillars, which are the National Standardization Bodies or the members of CEN. A National Standardization Body is the one stop shop for all stakeholders and is the main focal point of access to the concerted system, which comprises regional (European) and international (ISO) standardization. It is the responsibility of the CEN National Members to implement European Standards as national standards. The National Standardization Bodies distribute and sell the implemented European Standard and have to withdraw any conflicting national standards.

Obtaining European Standards CEN-CENELEC Guides Education about standardization

The objective of European standardization is to agree on common specifications and/or procedures that respond to the needs of business and meet consumer expectations.

Standards are part of the knowledge economy that underpins European industry and society. They facilitate innovation and promote the adoption of new technologies.

European Standardization is a key instrument for the consolidation of the Single Market and for strengthening the competitiveness of European companies, thereby creating the conditions for economic growth.

European Standards are a valuable tool for facilitating cross-border trade – both within Europe’s single market and also with the rest of the world. They reduce unnecessary costs for both suppliers and purchasers of products and services – in the public and private sectors.

Standards can be used to improve safety and performance, raise levels of energy efficiency, and protect consumers, workers and the environment. They complement European and national policies in these areas, and make it easier for companies and other actors to respect relevant legislation.

CEN and CENELEC are international non-profit associations. They are officially recognized as European Standardization Organizations (alongside ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) CEN, CENELEC and their national members and committees work jointly to develop and define standards that are considered necessary by market actors and/or to support the implementation of European legislation.

A majority of European Standards are initiated by business and developed in partnership with other stakeholders. Around 30% are mandated by the European 92 Copyright © 2014 CEN CENELEC. All rights reserved. 2014-12-30 Terms of use Accessibility Privacy Copyright

Commission in the framework of EU legislation.

The European Standardization System is unique in the world. After the publication of a European Standard, each national standards body or committee is obliged to withdraw any national standard which conflicts with the new European Standard. Hence, one European Standard becomes the national standard in all the 33 member countries of CEN and/or CENELEC. International Cooperation http://www.cencenelec.eu/intcoop/Pages/default.aspx    

ISO and IEC Agreements Projects Contact our International Cooperation team

CEN and CENELEC, as European regional standardization bodies, have always promoted cooperation/collaboration with other standardization bodies worldwide.

We are dedicated and committed to international standardization through our memberships with international standardization bodies: The International Standards Organization - ISO (Vienna agreement for CEN) and the International Electrotechnical Commission - IEC (Dresden Agreement for CENELEC).

Our aim is also to increase trade with partners outside the European Economic Area by sharing with them the European model of Quality Infrastructure and integrating them in the international standardization arena.

Representing European interests worldwide The European Commission and EFTA actively support the global awareness-raising activities carried out by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI, the European Standardization Organizations (ESO), as a tool to enhance the competitiveness of European businesses worldwide. Consequently, CEN and CENELEC are involved in different areas of the world where they represent the European interest and contribute at shaping the world dynamics.

Cooperate with us Our main partners are third countries National Standardization Bodies (NSBs)/National Committees (NCs) or regional standardization bodies.

We propose three different models of cooperation for the NSBs/NCs of third countries:   

European Standards (ENs) are based on a consensus, which reflects the economic and social interests of 33 CEN Member countries channelled through their National Standardization Organizations. Most standards are initiated by industry. Other standardization projects can come from consumers, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) or associations, or even European legislators.

Besides European Standards, CEN produces other reference documents, which can be developed quickly and easily: Technical Specifications, Technical Reports and Workshop Agreements.

This section gives you an overview of our deliverables, how standards are being developed in Europe, and in which fields standardization work is carried out, as well as explains how we support legislation.

Besides European Standards, we produce other deliverables with specific characteristics and objectives. These are Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR), Guides and CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop Agreements (CWA).

These various products differ in their methods of development, approval processes and implementation, offering flexible means to meet different market needs for requirements and information.

European Standards http://www.cen.eu/work/products/ENs/Pages/default.aspx A standard (French: norme, German: Norm) is a document that provides rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, for common and repeated use.

Standards are created by bringing together all interested parties including manufacturers, users, consumers and regulators of a particular material, product, process or service. Everyone benefits from standardization through increased product safety and quality as well as lower transaction costs and prices.

Each European Standard is identified by a unique reference code which contains the letters 'EN'. A European Standard is a standard that has been adopted by one of the three recognized European Standardization Organizations (ESOs): CEN, CENELEC or ETSI. It is produced by all interested parties through a transparent, open and consensus based process.

European Standards are a key component of the Single European Market. Although rather technical and mostly unknown to the public and media, they represent one of the most important issues for businesses. Often perceived as boring and not particularly relevant to some organizations, they are actually crucial in facilitating trade and hence have high visibility among manufacturers inside and outside Europe. Standards provide individuals, businesses and all kinds or organizations with a common basis for mutual understanding. A standard represents a model specification, a technical solution against which a market can trade. It codifies best practice and is usually state of the art.

In essence, European Standards relate to products, services or systems. Today, however, standards are no longer created only for technical reasons but have also become enablers for greater social inclusiveness and engagement with technology, as well as convergence and interoperability within growing markets across industries.

More information is available in BOSS - Business Operation Support System.

Technical Specifications http://www.cen.eu/work/products/TS/Pages/default.aspx A Technical Specification (TS) is a normative document, the development of which can be envisaged when various alternatives that would not gather enough as to allow agreement on a European Standard (EN), need to coexist in anticipation of future harmonization, or for providing specifications in experimental circumstances and/or evolving technologies.

Page 162 of 331

A Technical Specification is established by a CEN Technical Body and approved through a weighted vote by the CEN national members. The TS shall be announced at national level. It may be adopted as a national standard, but conflicting national standards may continue to exist. A Technical Specification may however not conflict with a European Standard. If a conflicting EN is subsequently published, the TS is withdrawn.

No time limit is specified for the lifetime of TSs, but the responsible Technical Body shall ensure that they are reviewed at intervals of not more than 3 years, starting from their date of publication by CCMC. 

More information is available in BOSS - Business Operation Support System.

Technical Reports http://www.cen.eu/work/products/TR/Pages/default.aspx A Technical Report (TR) is an informative document that provides information on the technical content of standardization work. It may be prepared when it is considered urgent or advisable to provide additional information to the CEN national members, the European Commission, the EFTA Secretariat, other governmental agencies or outside bodies.

A Technical Report is established by a CEN Technical Body and approved through a simple majority vote by the CEN national members. It involves no obligation at national level.

No time limit is specified for the lifetime of TRs, but it is recommended that they are regularly reviewed by the responsible Technical Body to ensure that they remain valid. 

More information in BOSS - Business Operation Support System.

Guides http://www.cen.eu/work/products/guides/Pages/default.aspx A Guide is a document that gives rules, orientation, advice or recommendations relating to European standardization.

Guides are approved by a corporate body through a simple majority vote. Guides providing information or guidance on technical work shall be approved by the Technical Board, all others being approved by the General Assembly or Administrative Board. 

More information in BOSS - Business Operation Support System.

CWA - CEN Workshop Agreement http://www.cen.eu/work/products/CWA/Pages/default.aspx A CEN Workshop agreement (CWA) is a document published by CEN in at least one of the CEN three official languages.

Page 163 of 331

A CWA is an agreement developed and approved in a CEN Workshop; the latter is open to the direct participation of anyone with an interest in the development of the agreement. There is no geographical limit on participation; hence, participants may be from outside Europe. The development of a CWA is fast and flexible, on average between 10-12 months.

A CWA does not have the status of a European Standard. It involves no obligation at national level. A CWA may not conflict with a European Standard; if a conflicting EN is subsequently published, the CWA shall be withdrawn. 

Technical Bodies http://standards.cen.eu/dyn/www/f?p=CENWEB:6:::NO::: The standardization activities of CEN are steered by the CEN Technical Board (BT), who has full responsibility for the execution of CEN's work programme. Standards are prepared by Technical Committees (TCs). Each TC has its own field of operation (scope) within which a work programme of identified standards is developed and executed. TCs work on the basis of national participation by the CEN Members, where delegates represent their respective national point of view. This principle allows the TCs to take balanced decisions that reflect a wide consensus.

A Subcommittee can be established within a TC, in the case of large programs of work.

The real standards development is undertaken by Working Groups (WGs) where experts, appointed by the CEN Members but speaking in a personal capacity, come together and develop a draft that will become the future standard. This reflects an embedded principle of 'direct participation' in the standardization activities.

Workshops are particularly relevant in emerging or rapidly-changing technologies that require quickly-developed specifications or results of research projects. They produce CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop Agreements (CWAs).

About the EN Eurocodes The EN Eurocodes are expected to contribute to the establishment and functioning of the internal market for construction products and engineering services by eliminating the

Page 182 of 331

disparities that hinder their free circulation within the Community. Further, they are meant to lead to more uniform levels of safety in construction in Europe.

The EN Eurocodes are the reference design codes. After publication of the National Standard transposing the Eurocodes and the National Annexes, all conflicting standards shall be withdrawn.

It is mandatory that the Member States accept designs to the EN Eurocodes.

They are currently at the stage of maintenance and evolution in order to address the variety of new methods, new materials, new regulatory requirements and new societal needs developing and to extend harmonisation.

The EN Eurocodes apply to structural design of buildings and other civil engineering works including:   

geotechnical aspects; structural fire design; situations including earthquakes, execution and temporary structures.

For the design of special construction works (e.g. nuclear installations, dams, etc) other provisions than those in the EN Eurocodes might be necessary.

The EN Eurocodes cover   

 

basis of structural design (EN 1990); actions on structures (EN 1991); the design of concrete (EN 1992), steel (EN 1993), composite steel and concrete (EN1994) ; (EN 1994), timber (EN 1995), masonry (EN 1996) and aluminium (EN 1999) structures, together with; geotechnical design (EN 1997); and the design, assessment and retrofitting of structures for earthquake resistance (EN 1998).

The EN Eurocodes are reference documents The Member States of the EU and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) recognise that EN Eurocodes serve as reference documents for the following purposes: 

 

as a means to prove compliance of building and civil engineering works with the basic requirements of the Construction Products Regulation , particularly Basic Requirement 1 "Mechanical resistance and stability" and Basic Requirement 2 "Safety in case of fire"; as a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services; as a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs and ETAs).

EN Eurocode Parts

Page 183 of 331

The EN Eurocodes include 10 standards (EN 1990 - 1999) covering various subjects related to construction.

EN Eurocode contents EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures Parts Each of the codes (except EN 1990) is divided into a number of Parts covering specific aspects of the subject. In total there are 58 EN Eurocode parts distributed in the ten Eurocodes (EN 1990 – 1999).

All of the EN Eurocodes relating to materials have a Part 1-1 which covers the design of buildings and other civil engineering structures and a Part 1-2 for fire design. The codes for concrete, steel, composite steel and concrete, and timber structures and earthquake resistance have a Part 2 covering design of bridges. These Parts 2 should be used in combination with the appropriate general Parts (Parts 1).

Page 184 of 331

ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, produces globallyapplicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and internet technologies.

We are officially recognized by the European Union as a European Standards Organization. The high quality of our work and our open approach to standardization has helped us evolve into a European roots - global branches operation with a solid reputation for technical excellence.

ETSI is a not-for-profit organization with more than 750 ETSI member organizations drawn from 63 countries across 5 continents world-wide. More information concerning ETSI member organizations is available in the membership section.

In this section you will find a more detailed description of ETSI, information on how we work, how we are structured, our role and useful information for visiting ETSI. Take a few minutes to learn about ETSI, what we can offer you and how to become part of it! http://www.etsi.org/images/files/ETSIGenericPresentation.pdf How we work ETSI's purpose is to produce and perform the maintenance of the technical standards and other deliverables which are required by its members (Article 2 of the ETSI Statutes - see ETSI Directives).

Like most standards organizations, much of this work is carried out in committees and working groups composed of technical experts from the Institute's member companies and organizations. These committees are often referred to as 'Technical Bodies' (TB), and typically meet between two and six times a year, in the ETSI premises or elsewhere. They also rely heavily on electronic communications to help progress the work, especially in-between meetings.

For certain urgent items of work, where this frequency of meeting is not sufficient, ETSI may also convene a Specialist Task Force (STF). STFs are small groups of technical experts usually seconded from ETSI members, to work intensively over a period of time, typically a few months, to accelerate the drafting work. Each STF reports to an ETSI technical body. In addition, ETSI provides a number of other services related to standardization, such as interoperability events (Plugtests™), Testing and interoperability related services and fora hosting.

Directives The work of ETSI, including that of its Technical Bodies and Specialist Task Forces, is governed by the ETSI Directives, a set of documents that define the legal status, purpose, scope, and functional aspects of the Institute. These Directives cover the entire lifecycle of ETSI's standards and other products, from inception, through drafting and approval, to publication, and then subsequent maintenance and finally, where necessary, withdrawal from public availability.

Page 185 of 331

Maintenance of the ETSI Directives is the responsibility of the General Assembly, supported by the ETSI Board.

Technical Bodies ETSI recognizes three types of Technical Body:   

Technical Committee ETSI Project ETSI Partnership Project

Each may establish Working Groups if required.

A Technical Committee is a semi-permanent entity organized around a number of standardization activities addressing a specific technology area. The results of a Technical Committee's work may often be used by other Technical Committees.

An ETSI Project is similar to a Technical Committee but is established on the basis of a market sector requirement rather than on a basic technology, is therefore more selfcontained, and has a defined duration.

An ETSI Partnership Project is an activity established when there is a need to cooperate with other organizations to achieve a standardization goal and where that cooperation cannot be accommodated within an ETSI Project or Technical Committee.

The Chairman of a Technical Body is nominated by the committee and is appointed by the ETSI Board. He or she is responsible for the overall management of the committee, its working groups and its work programme.

Representatives of Full and Associate Members have the right to participate in the work of a technical body and its working groups. Others may participate only under exceptional circumstances. Working documents are usually available only to members of ETSI, but the technical body's output of standards and reports, once approved, is made available in the public domain, free of charge.

The technical bodies are overseen by an Operational Co-ordination Group (OCG), comprising the technical bodies Chairmen, but they are ultimately accountable to the ETSI Board and General Assembly. The ETSI Secretariat provides a range of support services to the technical bodies.

Industry Specification Groups (ISGs) Industry Specification Groups exist alongside the current Technical Organization supplementing the existing standards development process. An Industry Specification Group, supported by Working Groups where appropriate, is an activity organized around a set of ETSI work items addressing a specific technology area.

Work Items and deliverables

Page 186 of 331

Each technical body establishes and maintains a work programme, consisting of Work Items. An ETSI Work Item is the description of a standardization task, and normally results in a single standard, report, or similar document. The technical body approves each Work Item, which is then formally adopted by the whole membership (via a webbased procedure). Collectively, the work programmes of all the technical bodies constitute the ETSI Work Programme.

A technical body usually gives responsibility for a Work Item to a small group of experts, led by a Rapporteur. The document (standard, report etc.) resulting from the Work Item is referred to as an ETSI Deliverable.

The ability to produce these different types of documents allows ETSI to respond a variety of needs within the industries it serves. Very occasionally, the Work Item may not lead to any of the types of deliverable, in which case it is called a Miscellaneous Item.

The Rapporteur Groups, Working Groups, and the technical committee as a whole carry out their work by electronic means, including e-mail, e-mail exploders and the ETSI server, as well as in physical meetings. The use of the electronic methods, both within and apart from physical meetings, has been found to dramatically increase the speed and efficiency of standards-making.

Decision-making A technical body takes its decisions, including approval of draft Deliverables, either by simple consensus or by a weighted vote. Each Member company or organization has a voting weight determined by its membership fee, which in turn depends upon the company's financial turnover and other factors.

A proposition passes if at least 71% of the weighed votes cast are in favour.

In the case of ETSI Technical Specifications and ETSI Technical Reports, the technical body approves the Deliverable for publication. For other Deliverables, the technical body approves the Work Item result, which is then submitted to further levels of approval before publication: these depend on the type of Deliverable.

ETSI provides web-based applications to assist the voting process and the determination of the result.

An Industry Specification Group (ISG) may establish its own procedures for the creation and approval of Group Specifications, within the broad framework of the ETSI Directives.

Our role in Europe In addition to producing world class standards that can be applicable at the global level, standardization also plays a central role to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market. This is achieved by the prompt and efficient production of Harmonized European standards (ENs) that are referenced to support the implementation of EU legislation and public policies to ensure the free movement of goods within the single

Page 187 of 331

European market and allow enterprises in the EU to become more competitive.

ETSI is the recognized regional standards body dealing with telecommunications, broadcasting and other electronic communications networks and services. ETSI produces standards and specifications supporting EU and EFTA policy issues such as the New Approach, other EU legislation (e.g. Electronic Fee Collection, the interoperability regulation under the Single European Sky (SES) initiative, the Electronic Communication Network and Services Framework Directives), mandated activity and other EU initiatives (e.g. Strategy 2020 and Digital Agenda).

Standardization is an integral part of the EU goal to achieve the Lisbon goals by carrying out better regulation and by simplifying legislation, by increasing competitiveness of enterprises and by removing barriers of trade at international level.

ETSI has made a very significant contribution to European legislation by producing many Harmonized Standards to be used in the application of European Directives. ETSI has also contributed extensively to the e-Accessibility goals of the EC/EFTA, with well over 50 specifications in support of e-Accessibility and e-Inclusion, addressing the needs of all users, irrespective of age and ability.

There can be little argument that ETSI's most significant technical success to date has been GSM™, Global System for Mobile Communications. Introduced as a digital cellular technology to replace a plethora of incompatible analogue systems in Europe, GSM has become a global success, serving over two billion users in more that 200 countries world-wide. This has been the base for the 3rd Generation of mobile which has been developed by ETSI in partnership with other regions under the umbrella of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP™). But ETSI has had many other technical successes, all helping to stimulate the telecommunications and broadcast markets in Europe and beyond, including TETRA, the SIM card, xDSL, DVB and DAB, DECT™, EuroISDN, etc.

ETSI works in close co-operation with the other 2 recognized European Standards Organization, namely CEN and CENELEC in order to co-ordinate activities.

Our global role As the effects of globalization permeate further and accelerate, ETSI is providing business and industry with efficient solutions for accessing and developing new and established world markets via standardization.

Globally applicable ETSI Standards and Technical Specifications such as GSM™ (2.5 billion mobile connections), DECT™, TETRA and DVB are prime examples of the role we play in growing international markets.

The world's leading telecom companies are all members of ETSI and they are drawn from 62 countries, meaning our work is present on every major continent.

The perpetual challenge for large and small companies is to provide ever more economic business models, whilst the constant demand of users is to have the 'next best thing'. This leads to a natural convergence of technological solutions.

3GPP - 3rd Generation Partnership Project EMTEL - Emergency telecommunications GSC - Global Standards Collaboration ICANN - Internet policy & structure oneM2M - one Machine-to-Machine

International Partnership At ETSI, we believe international futures are built around international partnerships.To ensure coherence between ETSI's and other produced Standards and exchange documents, and to avoid duplication within standardization activities in general, ETSI has partnership Agreements with several fora, consortia and standard makers' bodies such as:   

IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ISO - International Standards Organisation ITU - International Telecommunications Union

Looking ahead, ETSI remains committed to reinforcing its dialogue and extending its collaboration with partners around the world. To find out more about our partners please visit our dedicated ETSI partnership portfolio web space or contact partnerships@etsi.org.

Interoperability Interoperability is a crucial factor in market development and the ETSI Centre for Testing & Interoperability provides a set of unique and complimentary resources in this domain, including: Methodologies, techniques & languages for testing Test specification development for new technologies such as WiMAX PlugtestsTM interoperabilty events in various global locations to validate standards, products and prototypes.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Companies with an international dimension are now obliged to pay far greater attention to IPR due to the increasingly competitive and fast-changing world trade environment.

ETSI's IPR Policy is a world leader in its domain and is accepted as a reference in telecoms and ICT (Information Communication Technologies).

Types of ETSI standards ETSI produces a variety of standards, specifications and reports to suit different purposes, in response to market demand.

These different types of standards are produced in different ways, in line with their respective purposes, and the time taken to draft and approve them varies.

Each type of standard also requires a different process of approval. 

 95

European Standard (EN) – Used when the document is intended to meet needs specific to Europe and requires transposition into national standards, or when the drafting of the document is required under a mandate from the European Commission (EC)/European Free Trade Association (EFTA). An EN is drafted by a Technical Committee and approved by European National Standards Organizations.

ETSI Standard (ES) – Used when the document contains technical requirements.

An ES is submitted to the whole ETSI membership for approval.

ETSI Guide (EG) – Used for guidance to ETSI in general on the handling of specific technical standardization activities. It is submitted to the whole ETSI membership for approval.

ETSI Technical Specification (TS) – Used when the document contains technical requirements and it is important that it is available for use quickly. A TS is approved by the Technical Committee that drafted it.

ETSI Technical Report (TR) – Used when the document contains explanatory http://www.etsi.org/standards

material. A TR is approved by the Technical Committee that drafted it.

ETSI Special Report (SR) – Used for various purposes, including to make information publicly available for reference. An SR is approved by the Technical Committee which produced it.

ETSI Group Specification (GS) – Provides technical requirements or explanatory material or both. Produced and approved within our Industry Specification Groups (ISGs).

Harmonized Standards Harmonized Standards are ENs with a special status. We produce them in response to an EC mandate. They provide the technical detail necessary to achieve the ‘essential requirements’ of an EC Directive. They are thus key enablers of the European Single Market.

We have produced numerous Harmonized Standards for the European Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) Directive. We expect to continue to do so for the new European Radio Equipment Directive.

Community Specifications We also produce ENs under the Single European Sky Interoperability Regulation (i.e. in civil aviation). These ENs are also produced in response to EC Mandates, in cooperation with EUROCAE (the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment).

They acquire the status of Community Specifications (CSs) when they are published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

All our standards are produced by consensus, and the standards work programme is determined by our own members, according to their needs. ETSI’s standards-making processes have been refined over the years and are well respected as being fair, transparent and efficient.

All specifications developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP™) are also published by ETSI as Technical Specifications.

ETSI – a key player on the international standards scene ETSI publishes between 2,000 and 2,500 standards every year. Since our establishment in 1988, we have produced over 30,000. These include the standards that enable key global technologies such as GSM™, 3G, 4G, DECT™, smart cards and many more standards success stories.

Get ETSI standards ETSI has been making its standards available free of charge for many years. There are various ways to access our publications and we publish our standards in different formats to suit individual needs.

Occupational health topics Every year, in food and drink manufacture, around 19,000 workers (nearly 5% of the workforce) suffer from ill health caused or made worse by work. The risk of suffering occupational ill health is around twice that of sustaining an injury reportable to HSE. Almost 60% of occupational ill health involves musculoskeletal injury such as back injury from repetitive lifting or work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs) from repetitive tasks. Work-related stress, which is often cited as a cause of mental ill health, is another major issue causing almost 30% of ill health. Occupational asthma and rhinitis, related mailnly to exposure to flour and bakery dusts, causes around 8% of ill health followed by occupational dermatis (4%) and noise-induced hearing loss (1%).

Occupational rehabilitation, sometimes known as sickness absence and return to work, has become an essential part of running an efficient business to ensure sickness absence is managed and return to work times reduced.      

IEEE’s roots, however, go back to 1884 when electricity was just beginning to become a major force in society. There was one major established electrical industry, the telegraph, which—beginning in the 1840s—had come to connect the world with a communications system faster than the speed of transportation. A second major area had only barely gotten underway—electric power and light, originating in Thomas Edison’s inventions and his pioneering Pearl Street Station in New York.

process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures. Most U.S. communities and many global markets choose the International Codes.

The International Codes, or I-Codes, published by ICC, provide minimum safeguards for people at home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations.

Fifty states and the District of Columbia have adopted the I-Codes at the state or jurisdictional level. Federal agencies including the Architect of the Capitol, General Services Administration, National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service and the Veterans Administration also enforce the I-Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code for constructing military facilities, including those that house U.S. troops around the world and at home. Amtrak uses the International Green Construction Code for new and extensively renovated sites and structures. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands enforce one or more of the I-Codes.

Vision & Mission Vision: Protect the health, safety and welfare of people by creating safe buildings and communities.

Mission: To provide the highest quality codes, standards, products and services for all concerned with the safety and performance of the built environment.

History The International Code Council (ICC) was established in 1994 as a non-profit organization dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes. The founders of the ICC are Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO), and Southern Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI).

Since the early part of the last century, these non-profit organizations developed three separate sets of model codes used throughout the United States. Although regional code development has been effective and responsive to our country’s needs, the time came for a single set of codes. The nation’s three model code groups responded by creating the International Code Council and by developing codes without regional limitations; the International Codes.

Services of the ICC The International Code Council offers unmatched technical, educational and informational products and services in support of the International Codes, with more than 250 highly qualified staff members at offices throughout the United States. Some of the products and services readily available to code users include:         

Code application assistance Educational programs Certification programs Technical handbooks and workbooks Plan review Automated products Monthly magazines and newsletters Publication of proposed code changes Training and informational videos

Code Development Any interested individual or group may submit a code change proposal and participate in the proceedings in which proposals are considered. This open debate and participation before a committee of representatives from across the construction industry, including code regulators and construction industry representatives, ensures a consensus of the construction community in the decision-making process. A major advantage of ICC’s consensus-based private-sector code development process is that it allows both the ICC code development committees and eligible voting members at the code change hearings to participate in establishing the results of each proposal. Voting members may either ratify the committee’s recommendation or make their own recommendation. The results of all votes are published in the report of the ICC code development hearings.

Page 207 of 331

Eligible voting members review the recommendations of the code development committee and determine the final action. Following consideration of all public comments, each proposal is individually balloted by the eligible voters. The final action on the proposals is based on the aggregate count of all votes cast. This process ensures that the International Codes will reflect the latest technical advancements and address the concerns of those throughout the industry in a fair and equitable manner.

discussing and developing the International Standards they require.

All IEC International Standards are fully consensus-based and represent the needs of key stakeholders of every nation participating in IEC work. Every member country, no matter how large or small, has one vote and a say in what goes into an IEC International Standard.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world’s leading organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.

Over 10 000 experts from industry, commerce, government, test and research labs, academia and consumer groups participate in IEC Standardization work.

Globally relevant The IEC is one of three global sister organizations (IEC, ISO, ITU) that develop International Standards for the world.

When appropriate, IEC cooperates with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) or ITU (International Telecommunication Union) to ensure that International Standards fit together seamlessly and complement each other. Joint committees ensure that International Standards combine all relevant knowledge of experts working in related areas.

Global reach The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) members come from all around the world. While each member is different, they do have one thing in common: all of them represent the entire range of electrotechnical interests in their country, companies and businesses, industry associations, educational bodies, governmental and regulatory bodies, for example. All stakeholders are brought together through the country’s member National Committee.

The IEC also reaches out to newly industrializing countries through its Affiliate Country Programme and, when added together with the members, they bring the spread of the IEC family across more than 97% of the world's population.

The IEC also cooperates with several international, regional and national partners to produce joint publications, help promote the importance of standardization around the world and to coordinate any potential overlaps in work.      

Developing International Standards International Standards reflect agreements on the technical description of the characteristics to be fulfilled by the product, system, service or object in question. They are widely adopted at the regional or national level and are applied by manufacturers, trade organizations, purchasers, consumers, testing laboratories, governments, regulators and other interested parties.

The IEC develops International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. Adoption is voluntary, although they are often referenced in national laws or regulations around the world. Experts from all over the world develop IEC International Standards.

Since International Standards generally reflect the best experience of industry, researchers, consumers and regulators worldwide, and cover common needs in a variety of countries, they constitute one of the important bases for the removal of

Page 213 of 331

technical barriers to trade. For this reason, in its TBT105 (Technical Barrier to Trade) Agreement, the WTO106 (World Trade Organization) recommends its members to use International Standards rather than regional or national ones whenever possible.

Adopting IEC International Standards or using them for reference in national laws or regulations facilitates trade in the field of electrotechnology.

E.3.26 International Organization for Standardization (ISO)108 http://www.iso.org/iso/home.html ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. International Standards give state of the art specifications for products, services and good practice, helping to make industry more efficient and effective. Developed through global consensus, they help to break down barriers to international trade.

ISO develops International Standards. ISO was founded in 1947, and since then has published more than 19 500 International Standards covering almost all aspects of technology and business. From food safety to computers, and agriculture to healthcare, ISO International Standards impact all our lives.

ISO is a network of national standards bodies. These national standards bodies make up the ISO membership and they represent ISO in their country.

More details on ISO members can be found in the full list of ISO members109 ISO is an independent, non-governmental organization made up of members from the national standards bodies of 164 countries. ISO has a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.

The ISO story began in 1946 when delegates from 25 countries met at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London and decided to create a new international organization ‘to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards’. In February 1947 the new organization, ISO, officially began operations.

Since then, ISO has published over 19 500 International Standards covering almost all aspects of technology and manufacturing.

Today ISO has members from 164 countries and 3 368 technical bodies to take care of standard development. More than 150 people work full time for ISO’s Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.

To find out more about the history of ISO, see ISO timeline110.

Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organization internationale de normalisation), ISO founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the name is always ISO. Read more about the history of ISO in the book Friendship Among Equals111 published to mark ISO's 50th anniversary.

Standards catalogue http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics.htm ISO has developed over 19,500 International Standards and all are included in the ISO Standards catalogue.

There are three ways to find the standard you are looking for:  



You can browse by ICS (International Classification for Standards). ICS is a way of classifying standards into fields such as electrical engineering or paper technology.

You can browse by TC (technical committees). ISO standards are developed by experts from TCs focusing on all kinds of different subjects from screw threads to shipping technology. By clicking on the TC you can see all the standards published by this group of experts.

You can search the standards catalogue using a key word or the number of the standard (all ISO standards are numbered) for example ‘quality management’ or ‘9001’ to find ISO 9001.

Browse by ICS ICS Field 01 Generalities. Terminology. Standardization. Documentation Services. Company organization, management and quality. Administration.

ISO Technical committees http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards_development/list_of_iso_technical_committees.h tm The list of ISO technical committees provides basic information for each technical committee (TC). The TCs are listed in numerical order, following the order in which they were established. For example, TC 1 focusing on screw threads was created in 1947 and TC 269 on railway applications was created in 2012.

From this list you can access basic information, including the contact details of the secretary and the subcommittees and working groups, by clicking on the name of the committee in the left hand column. Links to the TC working areas can be found in the third column, ISOTC working area. The number of standards published by each

Page 225 of 331

committee is also visible, clicking on this number will lead to the list of standards published. Standards under development can be viewed by clicking on the number in the Work programme column.

STANDBY refers to TCs that have no work item in progress or foreseen but that are required to review the ISO International Standards for which they are responsible.

JTC1 is the Joint ISO/IEC TC that was created in 1987.

Project Committees are established when there is a need for an International Standard on a specific topic that does not fall into the scope of an existing TC. Project Committees are disbanded once the standard has been published.     

E.3.27 International Telecommunication Union (ITU)113 http://www.itu.int/en/Pages/default.aspx About ITU114 Overview ITU is the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies – ICTs. We allocate global radio spectrum and satellite orbits, develop the technical standards that ensure networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect, and strive to improve access to ICTs to underserved communities worldwide.

Download ITU’s brochure http://www.itu.int/pub/S-GEN-HLPW-2011 ITU is committed to connecting all the world's people – wherever they live and whatever their means. Through our work, we protect and support everyone's fundamental right to communicate.

Today, ICTs underpin everything we do. They help manage and control emergency services, water supplies, power networks and food distribution chains. They support 113

health care, education, government services, financial markets, transportation systems and environmental management. And they allow people to communicate with colleagues, friends and family anytime, and almost anywhere.

With the help of our membership, ITU brings the benefits of modern communication technologies to people everywhere in an efficient, safe, easy and affordable manner.

ITU membership reads like a Who’s Who of the ICT sector. We’re unique among UN agencies in having both public and private sector membership. So in addition to our 193 Member States, ITU membership includes ICT regulators, leading academic institutions and some 700 private companies.

In an increasingly interconnected world, ITU is the single global organization embracing all players in this dynamic and fast-growing sector.

ITU vision Committed to connecting the world Virtually every facet of modern life – in business, culture or entertainment, at work and at home – depends on information and communication technologies.

Today, there are billions of mobile phone subscribers, close to five billion people with access to television, and tens of millions of new Internet users every year. Hundreds of millions of people around the world use satellite services – whether getting directions from a satellite navigation system, checking the weather forecast or watching television from isolated areas. Millions more use video compression every day in mobile phones, music players and cameras.

ITU is at the very heart of the ICT sector, brokering agreement on technologies, services, and allocation of global resources like radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbital positions, to create a seamless global communications system that’s robust, reliable, and constantly evolving.

The global international telecommunications network is the largest and most sophisticated engineering feat ever created. You use it every time you log on to the web, send an e-mail or SMS, listen to the radio, watch television, order something online, travel by plane or ship – and of course every time you use a mobile phone, smartphone or tablet computer.

All of this is thanks to ITU and its membership: 



ITU makes phone calls possible: whether to the office next door or to a friend in another country. ITU standards, protocols and international agreements are the essential elements underpinning the global telecommunication system.

ITU coordinates the world’s satellites through the management of spectrum and orbits, bringing you television, vehicle GPS navigation, maritime and aeronautical communications, weather information and online maps, and enabling communications in even the remotest parts of the planet.

ITU makes Internet access possible. The majority of Internet connections are

NEMA Members http://www.nema.org/About/Pages/Members.aspx History The Founding of NEMA NEMA, created in the fall of 1926 by the merger of the Electric Power Club and the Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies, provides a forum for the standardization of electrical equipment, enabling consumers to select from a range of safe, effective, and compatible electrical products. The organization has also made numerous contributions to the electrical industry by shaping public policy development and operating as a central confidential agency for gathering, compiling, and analyzing market statistics and economics data.

Upon NEMA’s inception, then Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover wrote to NEMA President Gerard Swope, "I was glad to see the formation of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, as

Page 243 of 331

it appears that we will now have an association covering the whole of the many different branches of manufacture of electrical apparatus. I believe such an association under proper guidance can perform a very useful service not only to the industry but to the public…we have need of a great deal of standardizing of supplies and apparatus; we have need of simplification in many directions. We have need of more economic study and industrial statistics in the industry – all of which contribute to the more enlightened conduct of business and ultimately results in greater stability to industry and in favorable returns to the consumer and public. A constructive trade association dealing with these fundamental questions is a necessity of our modern industry."

It is NEMA’s belief that standards play a vital part in the design, production, and distribution of products destined for both national and international commerce. Sound technical standards benefit the user, as well as the manufacturer, by improving safety, bringing about economies in product, eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturer and purchaser, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining the proper product for his particular need.

Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)117 https://www.osha.gov/index.html

OSHA's Mission With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.

Organization OSHA is part of the United States Department of Labor118. The administrator for OSHA is the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. OSHA's administrator answers to the Secretary of Labor, who is a member of the cabinet of the President of the United States.

You have the right to a safe workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work. The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. The Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards. OSHA also provides information, training and assistance to workers and employers. Workers may file a complaint to have OSHA inspect their workplace if they believe that their employer is not following OSHA standards or that there are serious hazards.

Contact us if you have questions or want to file a complaint. We will keep your information confidential. We are here to help you.

Workers' Rights Booklet [PDF*] Workers' rights under the OSH Act Workers are entitled to working conditions that do not pose a risk of serious harm. To help assure a safe and healthful workplace, OSHA also provides workers with the right to:   

  

Ask OSHA to inspect their workplace; Use their rights under the law without retaliation and discrimination; Receive information and training about hazards, methods to prevent harm, and the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace. The training must be in a language you can understand; Get copies of test results done to find hazards in the workplace; Review records of work-related injuries and illnesses; Get copies of their medical records;

Who OSHA Covers Private Sector Workers Most employees in the nation come under OSHA's jurisdiction. OSHA covers private sector employers and employees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. jurisdictions either directly through Federal OSHA or through an OSHA-approved state program. State-run health and safety programs must be at least as effective as the Federal OSHA program. To find the contact information for the OSHA Federal or State Program office nearest you, see the Regional and Area Offices map.

State and Local Government Workers Employees who work for state and local governments are not covered by Federal OSHA, but have OSH Act protections if they work in a state that has an OSHAapproved state program. Four additional states and one U.S. territory have OSHA approved plans that cover public sector employees only. This includes: Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and the Virgin Islands. Private sector workers in these four states and the Virgin Islands are covered by Federal OSHA.

Page 251 of 331

Federal Government Workers Federal agencies must have a safety and health program that meet the same standards as private employers. Although OSHA does not fine federal agencies, it does monitor federal agencies and responds to workers' complaints. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is covered by OSHA. Not covered by the OSH Act:   

Self-employed; Immediate family members of farm employers that do not employ outside employees; and Workplace Hazards regulated by another Federal agency (for example, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Coast Guard).

OSHA standards: Protection on the Job OSHA standards are rules that describe the methods that employers must use to protect their employees from hazards. There are OSHA standards for Construction work, Agriculture, Maritime operations, and General Industry, which are the standards that apply to most worksites. These standards limit the amount of hazardous chemicals workers can be exposed to, require the use of certain safe practices and equipment, and require employers to monitor hazards and keep records of workplace injuries and illnesses. Examples of OSHA standards include requirements to: provide fall protection, prevent trenching cave ins, prevent some infectious diseases, assure that workers safely enter confined spaces, prevent exposure to harmful substances like asbestos, put guards on machines, provide respirators or other safety equipment, and provide training for certain dangerous jobs.

Employers must also comply with the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act, which requires employers to keep their workplace free of serious recognized hazards. This clause is generally cited when no OSHA standard applies to the hazard.

Workers can ask OSHA to Inspect their Workplace Workers, or their representatives, may file a complaint and ask OSHA to inspect their workplace if they believe there is a serious hazard or that their employer is not following OSHA standards. A worker can tell OSHA not to let their employer know who filed the complaint. It is a violation of the Act for an employer to fire, demote, transfer or discriminate in any way against a worker for filing a complaint or using other OSHA rights.

You can file a complaint online; download the form [En Espanol*] and mail or fax it to the nearest OSHA office; or call 1-800-321-OSHA (6742). Most complaints sent in on line may be resolved informally over the phone with your employer. Written complaints that are signed by a worker or their representative and submitted to the closest OSHA office are more likely to result in an on-site OSHA inspection.

Page 252 of 331

When the OSHA inspector arrives, workers and their representatives have the right to:   

Go along on the inspection.

Talk privately with the OSHA inspector.

Take part in meetings with the inspector and the employer before and after the inspection is conducted.

Where there is no union or employee representative, the OSHA inspector must talk confidentially with a reasonable number of workers during the course of the investigation.

When an inspector finds violations of OSHA standards or serious hazards, OSHA may issue citations and fines. A citation includes methods an employer may use to fix a problem and the date by when the corrective actions must be completed. Workers only have the right to challenge the deadline for when a problem must be resolved.

Employers, on the other hand, have the right to contest whether there is a violation or any other part of the citation. Workers or their representatives must notify OSHA that they want to be involved in the appeals process if the employer challenges a citation.

If you send in a complaint requesting an OSHA inspection, you have the right to find out the results of the OSHA inspection and request a review if OSHA decides not to issue citations.

Employer Responsibilities Employers have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace. Employers MUST provide their employees with a workplace that does not have serious hazards and follow all relevant OSHA safety and health standards. Employers must find and correct safety and health problems. OSHA further requires employers to try to eliminate or reduce hazards first by making changes in working conditions rather than just relying on masks, gloves, ear plugs or other types of personal protective equipment (PPE). Switching to safer chemicals, enclosing processes to trap harmful fumes, or using ventilation systems to clean the air are examples of effective ways to get rid of or minimize risks.

Employers MUST also:       

Inform employees about hazards through training, labels, alarms, color-coded systems, chemical information sheets and other methods.

Keep accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses.

Perform tests in the workplace, such as air sampling required by some OSHA standards.

Provide hearing exams or other medical tests required by OSHA standards.

Post OSHA citations, injury and illness data, and the OSHA poster in the workplace where workers will see them.

Notify OSHA within 8 hours of a workplace incident in which there is a death or when three or more workers go to a hospital.

Not discriminate or retaliate against a worker for using their rights under the law.

Your right to report injuries

Page 253 of 331

As a worker in the United States, you have the right to report work-related injuries and illnesses.

Under OSHA law, your employer must develop a process for workers to report a workplace injury or illness and ensure that you are able to use this process. It is your employer's responsibility to guarantee that workplace practices do not discourage workers from reporting their injuries or illnesses.

If your employer does discriminate or retaliate against you for trying to report an injury or illness, you have the right to file a retaliation complaint with OSHA. You must file the complaint with OSHA within 30 days of the alleged reprisal.

You Cannot be Punished or Discriminated against for using your OSHA Rights The OSH Act protects workers who complain to their employer, OSHA or other government agencies about unsafe or unhealthful working conditions in the workplace.

You cannot be transferred, denied a raise, have your hours reduced, be fired, or punished in any other way because you used any right given to you under the OSH Act. Help is available from OSHA for whistleblowers.

If you have been punished or discriminated against for using your rights, you must file a complaint with OSHA within 30 days of the alleged reprisal for most complaints. No particular form is required to report the discrimination, but you may send a letter, call the OSHA Area Office nearest you, download and send a completed Notice of Whistleblower Complaint Form (OSHA 8-60.1), or file online using the Online Whistleblower Complaint Form.

What to do if there is a Dangerous Situation at Work If you believe working conditions are unsafe or unhealthful, we recommend that you bring the conditions to your employer's attention, if possible.

You may file a complaint with OSHA concerning a hazardous working condition at any time. However, you should not leave the worksite merely because you have filed a complaint. If the condition clearly presents a risk of death or serious physical harm, there is not sufficient time for OSHA to inspect, and, where possible, you have brought the condition to the attention of your employer, you may have a legal right to refuse to work in a situation in which you would be exposed to the hazard.

Additional Information for Workers Has my employer ever been inspected by OSHA? You can research your employer's inspection history through OSHA's Establishment Search. Type in the name of your company and choose the dates you want to cover.

What is the most commonly cited hazard in my industry?

Page 254 of 331

You'll need to know your employer's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code.

Once you know your four-digit code, visit OSHA's Frequently Cited OSHA Standards page, enter your SIC code and view the information for last year.

Does OSHA provide technical information on hazards?

OSHA provides technical information to assist workers, employers, and safety and health professionals in reducing occupational injuries and illnesses. Find information on bloodborne pathogens, machine guarding, ergonomics or fall protection, for example.

What materials does OSHA have of interest to workers?

OSHA publishes a variety of publications on a range of subjects. Some of the most useful publications for workers are listed below. See OSHA Publications for a complete listing of agency printed materials or to order publications online.

OSHA Publications https://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.html E.3.31 Process Industry Practices (PIP)122 http://www.pip.org/ Process Industry Practices (PIP) is a consortium of process industry owners and engineering construction contractors. PIP was organized in 1993 and is a separately funded initiative of the Construction Industry Institute (CII), at The University of Texas at Austin.

PIP harmonizes member companies’ internal standards for design, procurement, construction, and maintenance into a set of industry wide “Practices” for voluntary use.

Members share the goal of reducing total installed costs of process plants by up to 6% through the implementation of common industry practices.

PIP publishes and maintains recommended Practices for the process industry in the following disciplines: Civil, Structural, and Architectural (CSA); Coatings, Insulation, and Refractory (CIR); Data Management; Electrical; Hygienic Process; Machinery; Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&ID); Piping; Pipeline; Process Control & Analyzers; and Vessels. Specific Practices include design, selection, specification, and installation information.

Although developed by member companies that are based in the United States, PIP Practices are also used by companies around the globe. In addition to the global reach of the members, PIP Subscribers include companies in Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Trinidad & Tobago, and The Virgin Islands.

PIP Practices have been sold to companies in countries throughout Europe, Asia and the Far East, and South America.

While PIP emphasis is on the process industry, it is clear that many PIP Practices can effectively be used by related industries including Specialty Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Pulp & Paper, and Power.

PIP Vision Progressive owner, engineering and construction companies all use PIP’s global Practices “as is,” creating value by minimizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and by facilitating knowledge capture.

PIP Mission To increase the asset lifecycle value of the engineering-procurement-construction process for the global marketplace, enhancing excellence in safety, reliability, and cost & schedule performance through developing and maintaining Practices that can be used “as is” for construction, operations, and maintenance.

PIP Values PIP’s core values as embodied in our work processes include: 1. Efficiency – using streamlined, short cycle processes 2. Expert content – most knowledgeable and highest quality 3. Collaboration – harmonized development process 4. Endurance – staying current to provide continual value 5. Participation – volunteers participate in supporting PIP’s collaborative model 6. Agility – flexible and adaptable to member needs 7. Relevance – usable output “as is” and/or easily adaptable PIP Participation Membership The most complete access to PIP Practices in all disciplines and the most complete overall value is as a participating member company.

Eligibility Membership in PIP is voluntary and open to owner companies or engineering design and/or construction companies serving these owners in the process and related industries. Membership requires meeting participation requirements. Members are classified as “owners” or “contractors”.

Access Members have access to all PIP Practices through our website in PDF and native (DOC format for text documents and DGN/DWG format for CAD files) file formats as well as our EEDS (electronic entry data sheets) file format where available. As a Member, you may provide access to all employees, contractors, and contractor employees who are doing work for you in all of your facilities. The files can be shared electronically. Membership rights include unlimited use of PIP Practices for conducting business at all member company offices and locations. Other member area resources would also be accessible on the PIP website including rosters of all teams, meeting schedules, implementation resource center information, and others.

Page 268 of 331

Participation As a member, each company is expected to provide a Steering Team representative.

This is usually a senior person in the organization and one who has the ability to influence technical and other resources in the company’s standards program. In addition, each Member Company is expected to provide at least one active Function Team member in any discipline area. If desired, members may place additional resources on multiple Function Teams. On a voluntary basis, members provide nonproprietary internal standards for harmonization of industry practices. In addition, members voluntarily adopt and implement published PIP Practices and support PIP's business guidelines and commitment to the process.

Dues The current annual membership dues are $25,000 per year. Dues are paid as an unrestricted grant to The University of Texas. As a result of continuing cost controls and growth in 13 of our 18 years we have been able to provide significant dues discounts to members after their first year of participation.

And simplify it. Sound a bit boastful? The fact is, when things function, we just take it for granted. Perhaps you fixed yourself a coffee this morning, toasted a slice of bread or took the car to work? It’s more than likely the filter fitted your coffee machine and your pre-sliced bread the toaster – and that the accelerator was to the right of your brake pedal. Which is just the way it should be, you think. Yes: that’s the great thing about standards!

Do standards sound boring?

Some may consider standards a necessary evil. The word conjures images of rules and regulations. But if the fit of the shoes you are trying on seems unrelated to the size on the label, you’ll be irritated for sure. And if the products your company makes don’t fit in a container, although they usually do, you might get just a bit upset.

Standards make our lives so much simpler, we only notice their relevance when absent.

Most would probably agree, whether it’s a matter of their morning coffee, of raising the quality of healthcare or of running a major multinational. It’s only when things don’t work that life becomes difficult or complicated. So – it’s certainly true that standards are necessary. But evil they are not.

Standards make it possible SIS, the Swedish Standards Institute, exists for its members. Our members are the ones who must profit as far as possible, not we. This said, we must strive jointly to ensure that the world functions a little better, every day.

SIS therefore collaborates with companies, government agencies and local authorities, research scientists and professional organizations, in Sweden and the rest of the world, to establish standards that facilitate more rational routines, cost-efficient business flows and enhanced quality. In a globalized world, there is a clear need to achieve coordination across industries, cultures and national borders. This is what SIS does.

A global mission Standards help make the world work. Which is why SIS is where the key decisions are made. As a member of CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization), we make sure we keep an eye on Swedish interests. Together, we have established some 16 000 standards. Nowadays, virtually all new standards are international, to the benefit of the Swedish export market.

These standards have produced benefits ranging from the lower corporate costs derived from simplified manufacturing processes to a reduction in the risk of accidents.

Quite simply, life has become a bit better for many people!

Participate – and make a difference If you want to effect change, you have to know a bit more and think one step further than others. This is why we offer the opportunity to become part of a process in which experts from all over the world get together and work jointly to develop the standards of the future. We offer the ideal chance to participate actively and exert influence, to develop your industry while simultaneously enhancing the expertise within your own organization. Welcome to the future!

More than just standards Much of what SIS does is about standards. This has been true since the 1920s. But our main concern has been, and always will be, focusing on how these standards can best be utilized, to create value and generate results. Which is why we offer so much more than standards alone. As a customer, you can benefit from our manuals, training courses and web services, in the same way that members can share in our expertise and new network of contacts. At SIS, we’re creating the future – with your help.

We practise what we preach

Page 275 of 331

At SIS, we practise what we preach – every day. We do this because our determination to create a sustainable society forms a natural part of our everyday.

But also because we wish to realize all the beneficial consequences in terms of the environment, quality and work environment that derive from the application of SIS and ISO products in our clients’ and members’ management systems. It’s all about finetuning operations, improving profitability, increasing market share, securing information and motivating employees. To further enhance the professional status of our activities, we have implemented quality, environmental and work-environment certification.

SIS management systems – certification in compliance with the demands specified in:   

SS-EN ISO 9001, quality-management systems SS-EN ISO 14001, environmental-management systems SIS-OHSAS 18001, Occupational health and safety management systems

Accreditation conducted by DS, Dansk Standard. For this reason, the SIS certificate is marked ‘DS’ instead of ‘SS’, as this is the prefix denoting the certifying agency.

SIS is itself committed to SR Social responsibility may be referred to as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) or CR (Corporate Responsibility), as well as SR (Social Responsibility), which is the term used

by SIS and the International Standards Organization (ISO).

Our approach to social responsibility is based on the SS-ISO 26000 global standard. In working with SR, we focus on three priority areas: travel policy/travel regulations, a code of behaviour (which among other things includes respect for local cultures) and sustainable events. The ISO 26000 standard is intended as guidance and not for certification, although we link this work to the SIS management system. We mean to practise what we preach!

SIS international development cooperation SIS plays an active role in enhancing the capacity of interested parties in the developing world to participate in and influence international standardization. In this work, we contribute everything from professional expertise to establishing a structure and framework for the process. The services we provide within the framework of international development cooperation enbale developing countries to influence the actual content of an international standard.

SIS’ activities in international development cooperation are based on a successful concept. The concept enables experts and interested parties in both the private and public sector in developing countries to participate in the standardization process at the local, regional and international level.

One of our broad objectives is to create standards of global relevance. Another is to create an incentive for interested parties in developing countries to continue to participate and invest in the future international standardization process, as well as to utilize the standards that are developed. This work focuses on three key areas: human

Page 276 of 331

rights, sustainability and crisis management.

Four reasons SIS is engaged in training in developing countries Increased trade with developing countries promotes better conditions in these same countries. International standardization is a vital component in the promotion of trade. It is therefore important that the developing countries and their business communities are actively engaged in influencing the standards that are to their benefit.

ISO global relevance. A key objective of the ISO (of which SIS is a member) is to enable the use of a global standard by as many as possible the world over, making it a priority that developing countries be included in the international standardization process. Read more about the ISO Action Plan here In the long term, increased cooperation with developing countries will benefit SIS members through increased trade.

Increased cooperation with the participating developing countries will enable SIS to generate new contacts and networks to the benefit of its members.

How it works Regional workshops and seminars are held prior to ISO meetings as part of each training project. Supported by the national standardization organizations, we strive for as broad participation as possible, with special emphasis on the private sector.

See "SIS concept for establishing standards" Current projects Projects are being conducted in Africa, the Middle East and in South and Southeast Asia. These projects are being conducted with financial support from Sida, while the project in South and Southeast Asia also involves cooperation with SAWTEE (South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment).

Projects are currently in progress in the following standardization areas:  

Carbon footprint of products Sustainability criteria for bioenergy

About SNV The SNV is a provider of information services driven by the future. The SNV defends the interests of business and society in Switzerland and works for their benefit.

As a direct representative of global and European standardization efforts (through the ISO and CEN respectively), the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) is Switzerland’s interface with various other national and international standards networks.

Thus the SNV plays an important role in bridging the gap between standardization experts and users of standards.

promotes self-regulation: the SNV’s main activity is standardization. Swiss, European and international standards are developed in direct cooperation with users. This process is to ensure that the standards will generate permanent benefits.

At the same time, it is aimed at abolishing unnecessary regulations and preventing meaningless ones. This standardization process, accessible to all, addressed the needs of the world of technology and the services sector. makes flexible and customer-driven use of pre-defined processes: professional standardization is based on internationally recognized processes. Self-regulation can be a sensible complement to legislation only if it follows these processes. Proper handling of standardization business calls for skills and experience. The SNV makes these skills available to Swiss business and society. provides information and support: the SNV assists you in keeping on track when wading through the thickets of laws, regulations and directives. The idea is to promote clear understanding of the global requirements for marketable products and services.

Philosophy SNV vision: the world needs standards!

Progress is driven by innovation, not only in technology and science but also and increasingly in systems, processes and interoperability of products and services.

Internationally harmonized standards are suitable means to implement innovation because they are legitimated democratically. Furthermore, they serve to open up markets and to put large companies and small businesses on a level footing. SNV supports them in practice.

The world requires standards also in a more general sense of the term, i.e. for “good practice”, accountability, fairness and ethics in interaction between business and society.

SNV mission follows from this: the SNV provides standards!

The SNV promotes the development and harmonization of national and international standards and rules. It is a modern service provider which informs people about the importance, benefits and practical implementation of current regulation and standardization. The SNV works for the benefit of Swiss business and society.

The role of SNV The Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) is Switzerland’s national organization for standardization. As a full member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the SNV ensures international cooperation in the area of standardization.

Furthermore, the SNV represents the interests of its members as a vehicle for Swiss business and society to exert influence in national, European and international standards bodies.

Without this possibility for SNV members to have a say, Switzerland would suffer a

Page 284 of 331

disadvantage in, or be excluded altogether from, the process of international standardization. This would considerably weaken the power of innovation in Swiss business. For a country like Switzerland that relies heavily on its exports, it is particularly important to keep up to date with standardization at all times.

Rights and duties In its capacity as the umbrella organization for standardization, the SNV represents Swiss business and society in the managing bodies of the ISO and CEN. The SNV operates mirror-image bodies at national level and makes sure that rules and principles of higher-level standardization are complied with. The following principles apply to European standardization: 

Duty not to take action: no Swiss Standards are to be drafted in relation to issues for which European standards are being drafted.



Duty to adopt: European standards are to be integrated in the national stock of standards. They are designated as SN EN in Switzerland.



Duty to withdraw: a national standard must be withdrawn if it clashes with a European standard integrated into the Swiss stock of standards.

International responsibilities As a member of the network of national, European and international organizations for standardization, the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) acts as an interface in the process of international standardization. The SNV is one of 31 CEN and 163 ISO members and represents the interests of Swiss business on behalf of its members and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). One of the SNV’s responsibilities is to inform other member states of plans to draft technical regulations.

International secretariat services Like any other organization for standardization, the SNV is entitled to serve as a secretariat for international (ISO) and European (CEN) technical committees (TCs) or subcommittees (SCs).

The SNV will apply to provide the secretariat when an industry or a company has a particularly strong interest in an international or European standard to be drafted.

Running the secretariat for a TC or SC provides an information edge and an opportunity to exert more influence on the ongoing process of standardization. The additional expenditure involved is incurred by the interested parties.

Standards Standards provide assurance, both in business and in private life, because they make sure that one thing is compatible with the other.

You will encounter standards day by day but they usually go unnoticed. But you clearly feel their positive influence. By the time you leave your house in the morning, numerous standards have made your life safer and more convenient.   

Your waterproof watch will continue to run after you have had a shower.

Your coffee maker and radio will have done their jobs without mutual interference.

Windows and doors will have closed smoothly.

Without standards, there is no problem-free operation of motor vehicles, electrical appliances, telephones or credit cards, to name but a few.

In business, standards are just as important.

Your subcontractor’s engineering department will know on the basis of which specifications their product can be used in your business processes (e.g. SN Standards).

Tenders from different bidders can be compared because all parties involved are aware of, and take into account, the same general terms and conditions.

What is a standard?

Standard EN 45020:1998 defines a standard as a “... document ... that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines for activities or their results ...”.

Thus, a standard is a document that describes the typical properties and features of a product, a process or a service. “... document established by consensus ...”

So a standard is not the work of an individual interest group pursuing its own purposes.

A standard is always written in agreement with others. “... document ... approved by a recognized body ...”

A standard requires approval by an institution that is above interests held by individual parties. This is to ensure that standards are scrutinized for suitability before they are published.

How standards are drafted

Page 286 of 331

A standard originates from an important finding by a manufacturer or a group of stakeholders, i.e. when it pays off to define a product, a process or a service in such a manner that the definition will henceforth be observed as a generally recognized rule.

Such a rule is called a standard.

The first step is to submit to a national or international standards body a request for a project to draft a new standard. Upon approval of such a request, experts begin to work on a draft standard. Then, the national organization for standardization, i.e. the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) in the case of Switzerland, provides regular information on the various stages of drafting the standard’s wording. Several times, interest groups are invited to make their comments on the draft before the final wording of the standard is approved. To this end, the SNV publishes draft standards in Information switec, its gazette of technical rules.

The SNV forwards to the relevant national or international standards organization any comments or objections related to draft standards. The comments are then discussed by expert bodies and may have an impact on a revised draft standard.

Draft standards are approved by means of a voting procedure.

Once a standard has been approved, it is published in Information switec, the SNV’s gazette of technical rules, added to the Swiss stock of standards and made available through the SNV shop.

The SNV is obliged to receive and consider every request related to standards.

Can standards be changed?

Standards are reviewed every five years. Unless there is a pressing need for amendment, standards remain unchanged. This process is to ensure that standards are kept up-to-date and relevant.

However, if it is recognized that a standard has to be adapted to new circumstances, it is revised. This occurs, for example, if the standard no longer reflects the latest state of the art, or if major changes have taken effect in a process in recent years. In that case, the standard follows the same procedure as a new standard, starting with the request for project and ending with its publication.

Do standards have force of law?

Generally speaking, a standard is a recommendation and its application is voluntary.

However, it is perfectly reasonable to seek the broadest possible scope of acceptance and application of standards, given the major role they play in interaction between technical and profitable solutions.

To be precise, there are some standards that are not to be considered as mere recommendations. These standards must be complied with because of binding reference legislators or authorities may make to them in laws or decrees. Such

Page 287 of 331

standards are primarily related to safety, health and environmental protection.

Designation of standards Any standard is designated by a number with an alphanumerical prefix. Such designation indicates a standard’s origin and the level at which it is recognized. There are three different levels: national, European and worldwide.

VDE members include not only engineers but also scientists, students, technicians, all important businesses in the electrical, electronic and information technology industry, the electrical utilities, federal authorities and institutions. The VDE is represented throughout Germany on a regional basis by 29 regional societies, and is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main.

Aims and responsibilities The responsibilities of the Association include:      

the ongoing development of electrotechnology, electronics, and information technology, and their related technologies; supporting the use of electrotechnology and electronics in mechanical engineering, in manufacturing and process automation, transport and medical technology, etc ; the promotion of national and international transfers of technical knowledge; continuing education and career development supported by a varied program of congresses, technical symposia and seminars; participation in political decision-making in matters regarding education and research; the interdisciplinary promotion of scientific knowledge and training.

The history of VDE http://www.vde.com/en/Association/Documents/Paper%20in%20VDE%20format%2020 090910.pdf Abstract In 1879, Werner Siemens and Heinrich Stephan, chief administrator of the postal, telephone and telegraphy system, initiated the foundation of the 'Electro-technical Society' ('ETV) in Berlin, Germany. At that time, the society considered itself as a center for those who dealt with electrotechnology on a professional, scientific or private basis, or at least taught it. Finally VDE, the 'Society of German Electrotechnologists' was founded as an umbrella organization covering several regional ETVs all over Germany in 1893. At present, the organization of the VDE comprises a setup in the field of electrotechnology which is unique worldwide.

Put simply: We network experts and technologies. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the ongoing development of various technologies and encourage their applications in a wide variety of industries. We do this by promoting the national and international transfer of technical know-how; by supporting the education and training of new generations of talents; by participating in political decision-making on education and research; and by backing educational and career development with a broad program of conferences, symposia and seminars.

At the same time, we work to improve the general public's understanding – and acceptance – of new technologies. We believe that innovation is one of the strongest assets of German industry and the one factor that can secure our global competitiveness however open and aggressive the markets may be.

And on the practical side – the side that the public most frequently sees – we make sure that electrotechnical products sold in Germany and worldwide are safe, and guarantee this with rigorous testing certified with the famous VDE Mark. Today, more than 200,000 types of products worldwide carry VDE Certification Marks. So in the end, everyone benefits from our work - either directly or indirectly.

And why all this?

Simply because information-, energy-, micro- and nano technologies and life sciences play paramount roles in modern society and will open up enormous opportunities for Germany in the coming decades. We must help secure and further build up our capacities in these fields. First: by working to ensure that cutting-edge knowledge is quickly and efficiently transformed into innovative and marketable products. And second: by helping ensure that our country's educational system - in particular our universities and technical colleges - continues to attract young people to technical fields and keeps them state-of-the-art.

In short, we are committed to generating support for future-oriented technologies in politics and in society. Our aim is to continually improve the climate for innovation in Germany - and the educational system that breeds, nurtures and sustains such innovation.

What kind of activities does this involve?

The VDE works on a number of levels to pursue its aims. These range from running five scientific organizations and organizing international technical symposia and conferences, to operating an internationally renowned testing and certification institute

Each organization of the construction industry should establish, maintain, enforce and operate in accordance with its code of ethics / conduct.

The code of ethics should be included as an integral part in any contract agreement it signs with its employees, partners, suppliers and subcontractors.

The organization should be committed to advancing accountability, integrity and transparency in its operations as an example of good governance, ethical practice and openness to greater transparency by its employees and business partners.

The organization’s code of ethics should state in simple terms its commitment to strictly abide with legal and regulatory obligations, social responsibility, the requirements of the contract agreements, customer satisfaction and the practices set out in its management systems, by any legal and ethical means and deeds.

The organization’s code of ethics should include its values, ethical guidelines, the code of conduct174 and the basic principles and policies upon which the Organization’s work is based.
