CEN and ASTM International sign Technical Cooperation Agreement -

CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, and ASTM International have signed a Technical Cooperation Agreement with the aim to facilitate global dialogue and coordination in specific standardisation areas of mutual interest.

The Agreement establishes a framework for technical cooperation and information exchange between the two standardisation organisations, thus facilitating dialogue and convergence on the technical requirements and related attributes of standards development, and preventing duplication of efforts, for the benefit of their respective stakeholders.

Through this important Agreement, ASTM International and CEN agree to a series of practical actions to implement their cooperation, specifically in those technical areas where there is common interest between ASTM International and CEN. These include: explore opportunities to collaborate within their respective standards development process; facilitate technical standardisation dialogue between their technical bodies; and share information on their standards development activities and emerging technologies, trends, or regulatory drivers of mutual interest for the benefit of the stakeholders.

The cooperation established under this Agreement complements the already existing CEN/ANSI dialogue on policy and strategic cooperation between Europe and the US. This newly launched CEN collaboration with ASTM adds a technical level dimension, ensuring a deepening of the transatlantic relations as well as global standardisation initiatives.

The signature of the Agreement is in line with both ASTM International and CEN’s missions to pursue active roles in the international standardization community.
