About the preparation of a standard
Through the Estonian Centre for Standardisation, it is possible to participate in the preparation process of Estonian, European and international standards. The preparation of an Estonian standard usually takes place in an EVS Technical Committee, the preparation of a European and international standard takes place in the Technical Committee of a corresponding organisation, in which it is possible to participate through an EVS/TC.
If you would like more information regarding the preparation of a standard, need a consultation or do not know where to start, contact the standardisation department.
A detailed standard preparation process is available in the description of the standardisation process. Below you will quickly find references to documents and guides regarding standard preparation.
