The European Parliament and the European Council have recognized the importance of standardization for environmental protection in Europe.
Standards are an inevitable part of today's business and society.
They are therefore an ideal media to put the idea of environmental protection into practice. Co-operation and participation of all stakeholders are well established in the standardization process. Standards are consequently the result of a process involving different market players thus ensuring that all aspects, including environmental considerations, are analyzed from different perspectives and agreed upon.
