4. Standard & Legislation in General (Role of standards in enhancing the trade)

5. What is a standard? It is a document that defines technical or quality requirements with which current or future products, production processes, services or methods may comply

6. Why standards are important? • Enhance safety of products • Promote common understanding • Facilitate trade by reducing TBs • Promote interoperability of products and services • Benefits of economies of scale • Support environmental sustainability • Facilitate the uptake of innovation andreflect the outcome of research and development

7. Standards vs Législation Standards : • Voluntary & Consensual • Developed by independent organisations • Revised every 5 years • Provide specifications and test methods (interoperability, safety, quality, etc.) Legislation : • Mandatory & Imposed by Law • Established by public authorities • Revised when legislators decide • Gives requirements to protect public interests

8. International Standards - It’s a time of global economy [globalisation] - Standards are the valuable tool for global trade

9. EU Standards & Legislation

10. Regulation 1025/2012 Regulation is on European Standardization • Sets legal framework for standardization in Europe • Possibility to finance EU level stakeholder organisations: SME, consumers, environmental and social interests • Financing ESOs (operating grants and action grants) and NSBs (in case of joint actions with ESOs including translation of ENs) • Confirms importance of developing voluntary European Standards for services • Annual Union Work Programme for European standardisation (planning future mandates and strategic priorities) • Recognises 3 European Standards Organizations (ESO) – CEN, CENELEC and ETSI

11. ESO’s are integrated with International To avoid duplication of work at International and European levels and to 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, eMobility etc 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

12. European Standards • The European Commission does not draft European standards! CEN, CENELEC and ETSI do • One European Standard replaces 34 different national standards in Europe, conflicting standards are withdrawn • Standardisation is a form of self regulation • Interested parties come together and agree voluntarily on technical matters • Compete more efficiently by ensuring the interoperability of their products • EU legislation makes reference to Standards • Direct reference: mandatory but mandatory for specific use • Indirect reference =>  New Approach 

13. Direct Reference: EU Directives The EU Directives are intended to: • Protect all EU Citizens from harm and Improve Citizens’ well-being • Provide essential Safety in Workplace, Home Life, and Leisure Activities. • Now also to address Environmental Protection • TheLow Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC(LVD): • Created in 1973 to assure a degree of Electrical Safety with an Objective: To prevent Electric Shock, Burns, Injuries, Fires and Property Damage • RoHS- Restrictions of Hazardous Substances used in manufacture • Controls Levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, HexavalentChromium etc, used in products in order to minimize seepage in land fills • WEEE - Electronic Waste Disposal is being controlled.

14. CE MARKING Declaration of Conformity Facilitate free movement of goods in the Internal Market whilst ensuring a high level of protection for consumers Elimination of barriers to trade through technical harmonisation Manufacturers can Self-Declare Compliance by adding CE MARKS by signing a Declaration of Conformity

15. New Approach • Objective: remove barriers to trade • How? By task sharing: • Legislation: mandatory, stable, predictable and safeguarding public interest (via listing the essential requirements) • Protection of health, safety, environment and consumers • Standards: voluntary, constantly updated to the state-of-the-art, predictable, harmonising the technical specifications

16. Better Regulation & Impact Assessment 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 • 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.

17. Indian Standards & Legislation

18. Indian regulatory & standardization landscape • The National Standards Body of India • Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) took over work of Indian Standards Institution (ISI) through enactment of BIS Act (1986) by the Indian Parliament • ISI was set up in 1947 as a registered society, under a Government of India resolution. • BIS is functioning under the ministry of Consumer Affairs and food & Public Distribution. • The key activities of BIS are as follows: • Standards Formulation, Conformity Assessment (ISI Mark), Hallmarking of Jewelry, Management System Certification, Laboratory Services and Training • Founding member of ISO and IEC member since 1911

19. Indian regulatory & standardization landscape • BIS is engaged in formulation of Indian Standards through following 14 divisional councils: • Production & General Engineering, Chemicals, Civil Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology, Electro technical (ETD), Food and Agriculture , Mechanical Engineering, Management and Systems, Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning, Metallurgical Engineering, Petroleum Coal and Related Products, Transport Engineering , Textile and Water Resources • Over 19,000+ standards have been formulated in different technical areas and categories covering Product Specifications, Codes of Practices, Guidelines, Terminologies etc. • WTO-TBT: BIS is an enquiry point and Dept. of Commerce the notification authority • 53 TBTs and 109 items are under mandatory certiication and 31 are Under CRO

20. ISI mark is a certification mark for industrial products in India. • The mark certifies that a product conforms to the Indian Standard, mentioned as IS:xxxx on top of the mark, developed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national standards body of India. • The name ISI is an abbreviation of Indian Standards Institute, the former name of the Bureau of Indian Standards. • The ISI mark is mandatory for certifying products to be sold in India, like many of the electrical appliances viz; switches, electric motors, wiring cables, heaters, kitchen appliances etc., and other products like portland cement, LPG valves, LPG cylinders, automotive tyres, Water etc.

21. Compulsory Registration Order (CRO) • The registered user shall display the 'Standard Mark' or the words ‘Self Declaration-Conforming to IS……….’ along with Registration number on the article and/or the packaging, as the case may be, in a manner so as to be easily visible. It shall be legible, indelible and non-removable.

22. Latest Developments • BIS ACT 2016 • The Bill replaces 1986 act to include goods, services and systems, with services being introduced for the first time under the Act • Self-certification/declaration: Registration scheme (CRO), new standard mark to promote make in India (Zero Defect and Zero Effect) • Increased business accountability: Liability and Penalties • Power to recall – inferior quality products from the market • Rules & Procedures Amendment: WIP

35. Conclusion & Success Mantra

36. Conclusions • Standardisation is a form of self regulation and is a tool to create markets as large and homogenous as possible to allow for economiesofscale • Compliance with standards in support of regulation/legislation implies “the right to place a device on the market”, “that is to offer it for sale” • Impact assessment and sufficient transition period of 2-3 year is important to help industry with its proper implementation • ICT Standards need to be global considering the fact of interoperability hence work together • Standards Portfolio Harmonization with Global Standards, raising awareness and visibility plays an important role in strengthening trade • All about European Standards, ICT Standardisation, • http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/index_en.htm • http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/digital-economy/ict-standardisation_en • http://sesei.eu

37. Finally - Success Mantra • 3 tips are for success. • Read something no one else is reading, • Think something no one else is thinking, and • Do something no one else is doing • Don't focus on results but on the actions that will produce the results • Surround yourself with diverse people with unique different skill sets, work together and be open to learn from others always • Always place your customer/client first • There is no substitute to hard work • Focus on what’s important to you, do what you think is right and you will be happy • Success is when you look back at life and the memories make you smile
