  1. Content • Project SESEI • Global/European Standards • Aim, Best Practices, Challenges & Way Forward • Indian National Standardization Strategy – A Right Step forward • Few suggestions to make it better • Conclusion 2

  2. Project SESEI

  3. Project is a permanent presence in India • SESEI (Seconded European Standardization Expert in India) is a local face for the European standardization community in India • Why SESEI: India is a major trade partners for Europe, Increasing role of standards to gain market access and Evolving & complex nature of regulatory and standardization landscapes, Sharing best practices, work together • Sector: 1. ICT: M2M/IoT, Security, 5G, NFV/SDN, e-Accesibility, eHealth, eCALL… 2. Electrical equipment including Consumer Electronics: Smart Grid, Smart Meter, LVDC, Micro- Grid, Lift Escalator… 3. Automotive: Connected Cars, ITS, e-Mobility… 4. Smart Cities: Mobility, Waste, Energy, ICT.. • www.sesei.eu , www.sesei.in , www.eustandards.in

  4. Global/European Standards

  5. What we all wants Era of Global Economy [globalisation] and Standards are the valuable business tool for international trade

  6. Harmonize it & 1 Global Solution In Europe, harmonization means 1 standardization solution instead of 34 And… Whenever possible, Europe’s preference goes to 1 global solution

  7. ESO’s are integrated with International Objective - Avoid duplication of work at International and European levels with an aim for a identical worldwide and European standards CEN: 32% of portfolio identical to ISO CENELEC: 72% of portfolio identical to (+ another 6%based on) IEC standards “Vienna Agreement” with Chemistry, Material, Energy, Environment, Transport, Construction, Services, eMobilityetc Electricity, Electro-technical “Frankfurt Agreement” with Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) MoU for telecommunications sector (ITU-T), Agreement on radio-communication sector (ITU-R) Founding Partner to 3GPP & oneM2M

  8. Vienna Agreement Facts and figures What? When? Why? • ‘1991 - Signature • 2001 ‘Codified version’ • 2016 ‘Guidelines on implementation’ • Formal agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN • To avoid duplication of work at International and European levels Info available on CEN website: http://boss.cen.eu/reference%20material/RefDocs/Pages/default.aspx Catherine Vigneron GSO visit (2018-04-16)

  9. Frankfurt Agreement Facts and figures Why? What? When? • To optimize use of available resources • To accelerate development of common European and International standards • 1996 – Signature of Dresden Agreement • 2016 – Signature of Frankfurt Agreement • Agreement on common planning of new work and parallel voting between IEC and CENELEC Info available on CENELEC website: https://www.cenelec.eu/aboutcenelec/whoweare/globalpartners/iec.html Catherine Vigneron GSO visit (2018-04-16)

  10. A variety of tools to reach the international objectives

  11. Smart and Better Regulation Smart Regulation – Better Regulation • EU follow-s the principal of Better/Smart regulation: • Design EU policies and laws to achieve their objectives at minimum cost and ensure that policy is prepared, implemented and reviewed in an open, transparent manner, well informed by the best available evidence and backed up by involving stakeholders, supported by Impact Assesement • Before EU takes action the Commission publishes roadmaps and inception impact assessments which • Describe the planned new initiatives and evaluations of existing legislation. • examine the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of proposed action through Impact assessments • Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB): review the impact assessments reports/results • REFIT (Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme) to • make EU law simpler and to reduce regulatory costs, thus contributing to a clear, stable and predictable regulatory framework supporting growth and jobs • Ensure Sufficient transition period • for standards 3 years and for any new/amended legislation it is 2 years: Concurrent application of both old and new standards are allowed during this transition period of three years post legislation.

  12. Challenges and What we can do?

  13. The world is changing - Digitization • The Challenges: • changing economy: growing importance of services • Digital transformation, convergence: Everything is becoming Smart – ICT [IoT] • Data Privacy and Security To remain relevant, standards must be timely, market-driven and produced in an inclusive way quickly

  14. Joint Initiative on Standardisation European Standards for the 21st Century: COM(2016) 358 dated 1/6/2016 • The Joint initiative on Standardisation! An initiative driven by all stakeholders (EU and EFTA Member States, standards organisations and bodies, European industry and industry associations, SMEs, and societal stakeholders)in a collaborative, open, highly inclusive and transparent manner : Signed on 13/6/2016 • Common vision of standardisation • 15 actions/case studies to be delivered by 2019

  15. What can/should we do? Priority areas: • Awareness, Education and Understanding about the Standardisation Systemi.e. increasing the use of standards and participation in the process at all levels • Education About Standardisation • Coordination, Cooperation, Transparency, Inclusiveness, i.e. ensuring adequate, high-quality, user-friendly and timely release standards • ESOs CGs on Smart Energy, Smart Cities, Accessibility, Mobility etc. • Joint President Groups • Competitiveness and International dimension, i.e. standards supporting competitiveness in the global markets. • Yearly Work Program, Roadmap, Participation and Contribution to Research Program (H2020)

  16. Indian National Standardisation Strategy: INSS A right step forward

  17. Indian National Standardisation Strategy: INSS It’s a right step forward: • Harmonization of National Standards with International Standards: Make in India Success • Encourage and recognize self-regulation mechanism & adopt Good regulatory practices: CRO/CRS Scheme step in the right direction • Conduct regulatory impact assessment and implement concept of Essential Requirement: Legislation shall refer to essential requirement and nor the entire standard

  18. Few Suggestions to INSS 1(2) • Cooperation and Coordination and not convergence at one place on emerging ICT topics: • BIS  ISO/IEC/JTC1, TEC/DoT  ITU-R/T/D & TSDSI  3GPP, OneM2M, ETSI : Set up Coordination Group between SDOs and Set up high Level Joint Working Group, • Yearly Work Program or Roadmap covering activities on areas of importance and emerging technologies • TSDSI has started doing it • Promote Education about standardisation • BIS, TEC, BSNL Training Centre • Formulate School, Vocational, Graduate and Advance courses on it • Encourage Standard Based Research and establish Joint Funding Mechanism (BIS+DST, TSDSI+TEC+MEITY+DST) • R&D and Innovation shall be supported until standardized, Patented and Commercialized: Start up & SMEs

  19. Few Suggestions to INSS 2(2) • Increased Participation of Indian SDOs (BIS, TSDSI, TEC) at Global & Regional Standards Organization • Indian SDOs shall also join regional standards organization through MoU or Membership and work together on topics of emerging areas and mutual interest • Mature understanding of good regulatory practices and impact assessment • Establish REFIT (Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme) and Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) to review the legislation & impact assessment report/results • Provision of sufficient transition period post new regulation and associated new/amended standards. • Make a transition period of 3 years and allow concurrent application of both old and new standards

  20. Suggestions for Standards activities • Dedicated funding for: • Standards based research on Key Areas identified as part of Yearly Work Program or roadmap: e.g. 5G HLF • Support regular and consistent participation of Indian Experts at Global/Regional Standardisation Activities & platform: Increase level of contribution for India’s local requirement at Global platform to get it harmonised, achieve EoS & Make in India • Target exports, protection is not a right solution for long term growth - Success of Make in India lies greatly on: • Indian Standards = Global Standard • Consider having specific agreement with ISO/IEC like EU’s Vienna & Frankfurt Agreement • Quarterly review & report on BIS standards portfolio & its harmonisation with global standards

  21. Conclusion

  22. Conclusions • Standardisation is a form of self regulation and is a tool to create markets as large and homogenous as possible and to achieve economiesofscale • Self Declaration & strong Market Surveillance is a best way forward and CRS/CRO is a right step forward in this direction • Encourage Voluntary Standards Compliance practice to enhance the product quality ready for domestic consumption and exports: Make in India • Regulation/Legislation and mandatory standards (essential requirement) shall be supported by: • Impact assessment and sufficient transition period of 2-3 year to help industry get prepared with its proper implementation • ICT Standards need to be global considering the fact of interoperability: SDOs shall work together on topic of convergence - ICT • Standards Portfolio Harmonization with Global Standards (Make In India), raising awareness and visibility ( Increased Member Participation) plays an important role in strengthening global trade • Regular, Consistent participation of team of same experts is vital
