Austrian Standards Annual Report 2022
Standards enable innovation and networking
Foreword
The EU Standardization Strategy emphasizes the strategic importance of standardization for making the European internal market more resilient, greener and more digital. For all European standardization organizations, this is a mandate: to bring even more expertise to the committees, to win over more experts for developing standards and to better reach the management and decision-making levels.
Austrian Standards is the Austrian organization for standardization and innovation. As a networking partner, we provide access to standards from all over the world. This makes a valuable contribution to the market viability and competitiveness of Austria’s economy. Thus, Austria contributes to shaping the future where it happens.
See for yourself which activities we implemented in 2022.
