Today’s markets are progressively transforming from local to national, and from European to international. In turn, Italian businesses aiming to remain competitive and compliant across the widest possible market are relying on industry standards to guide the way – whether national, European, or international in nature.

At the same time, the already wide range of industry standards currently available is constantly being added to by EU-recognised European Standards Organizations (ESOs) as well as national, European and international Standards Developing Organisations (SDOs).

As a result, Italian companies are facing the challenge of determining which industry standards best meet market requirements, such as those established by the EU’s New Approach directives.

This white paper explores topics of how Italian businesses can best understand and manage domestic, European and international industry standards, including:

  • the benefits of standards (e.g., reduced costs, risks, and time to market)
  • understanding standards development levels (e.g., national, European, international)
  • compliance within the Single European Market
  • benefits of using Harmonized European Standards domestically and in the EU market

In addition, tools and techniques will be discussed that simplify the challenging process of standards research, identification, procurement, and management for today’s Italian and European markets.
