Introduction into standardization (1)
Standards…
• … are documents with agreements on products,
services and systems
• ... are designed for voluntary use
• ... contribute to:
– (inter)national strength of competition
– innovation
– health, safety and environment
– image
• ... are in accordance with WTO

Introduction into standardization (2)
Overcoming trade barriers
Vision ISO/TC 67 (oil & gas):
Global standards used locally worldwide

Standards as instrument to facilate trade in biomass 6
Introduction into standardization (4)
Standards are important tool for:
• Self-regulation:
standards for processes, procedures, assessment,
certification, benchmarking, classifications, codes of
conduct, etc. => own responsibility!
• Regulation (by way of assignment):
law refers to standard or ‘equivalent’, conformity
assessment (CE)
![Page 7: 20100407 Biomass standards Ukraine delegation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051709/5872adbd1a28ab523c8b4deb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Standards as instrument to facilate trade in biomass 7
Introduction into standardization (5)
Standardization …
• … is an open process => all parties concerned invited
to participate for broad support
• … is developing agreements based on consensus =>
no sustained opposition
• … is transparent => agreements are publicly available
for comments and use
• … takes place on three levels:
– national (e.g. DSSU, NEN)
– regional (e.g. CEN, GSO)
– international (e.g. ISO, IEC)

Summary and conclusions
• Standards are useful instruments to facilitate trade
• Many standards on biomass issues published or
currently developed or revised, preferably on
international level, but (in this case) first within Europe
or nationally
• Standards are efficient instruments to support national
and EU targets on renewables (e.g. EC mandates)
