The event will bring together major stakeholders from the standardisation world as well as associations representing SMEs in the process.

To do so, SBS has invited the European Standardisation organisations (CEN-CENELEC and ETSI) and the European Commission, to present aspects of the standardisation mechanisms to member SME associations directly affected by standards usage. This seminar is organised with the financial support of the European Commission and information topics range from an overview of the European Standardisation System, its process and legislation to the existing support for SMEs as well as why it is important to attract SME representatives to standardisation.
