Development of Standard; Participation in European and National Standardisation

 

EUROPEAN STANDARDISATION

 

Draft Standards at Public Enquiry Stage

Before standards are published, it is an international practice that draft versions are available for public comments. This will give any interested party the opportunity to influence the content of the standards.

A list of titles of these draft standards and their respective enquiry deadlines are available from our Standards Library – contact the Librarian on (+356) 2395 2000.

Interested parties can submit their comments via email  addressed to the Head of Standardisation. All comments will be taken into consideration and will be discussed within the relevant national technical committee listed below.

 

Draft Standards at Voting Stage

The MCCAA is required to express the national vote as to whether a standard is acceptable or not. This is the last possibility for interested parties to make their comments on a draft standard. A list of titles of draft standards at voting stage and their respective voting deadlines are available from our Standards Library – contact the Librarian on (+356) 2395 2000.

Interested parties can submit their comments via email  addressed to the Head of Standardisation. All comments will be taken into consideration and will be discussed within the relevant national technical committee listed below.

 

The general public is invited to review draft EN standards at Public Enquiry Stage and Formal Voting Stage and submit feedback. A list of CEN and CENELEC standards at public enquiry stage and formal voting stage may be found in the links below:
