  1. Standards Strategies for the decade ahead Greener Standards in Europe Naples, 9 February 2004 Guy Van Doorslaer

  2. European Policy Framework Treaty High level of protection / improvement of environment – "sustainable development" Standardisation Tool for implementation of Community policies Legislation Snapshot of environmental legislation IPP – EUP : eco design of energy using products (new)

  3. BREFs Best practices - technical Reference documents Vibes IPPC Noise EMF Physical agents VOCs RoHS Environment & occupational health Clean technology MANUFACTURING DESIGN ?

  4. Key issues Raising awareness and environment thinking - changing the minds of standards experts - at all stages of the standardisation process (energy, materials, air, water, hazardous substances, damage, waste, noise...) - training of experts is necessary

  5. Key issues Tools available today ? - existing tools : - CEN Strategic Advisory Board for the Environment (SABE) - CEN environmental helpdesk – network of experts - Guides / checklist on how to integrate environmental considerations into standards (ISO-EN guide 64) - existing standards - test method (pollution, water analysis...) - technology (energy efficiency...) - management standards - ISO 14001 - EMAS - databases - information on potential risks (CENELEC)

  6. Key issues Resources available - EC helps financially standardisation input from : - consumers, worker groups, SMEs - ECOS (November 2002) – environment groups - Industry – own resources

  7. Key issues Standardisation options for industry - Preparatory - guidelines, technical papers - self-commitment, voluntary agreement - Final - CEN / ISO standards – voluntary - standards for legislation - mandatory
