World Standards Cooperation (WSC) and G20 INDONESIA 2022 International Standards Summit

'''''''''''''' 

World Standards Cooperation (WSC)

The World Standards Cooperation is a high-level collaboration between the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Under this banner, the three organizations preserve their common interests in strengthening and advancing the voluntary consensus-based International Standards system.

These three organizations believe that international standards are an important instrument for global trade and economic development. They provide a harmonized, stable, and globally recognized framework for the dissemination and use of new technologies.

International standards are consensus based and transparent. They invite contributions through an extensive network of national members. International standards increase market relevance and acceptance and are the cornerstone of global trade and development.

The world is getting more complex and increasingly digital. International standards can help simplify things, but only if they are consistent and coherent. Through the WSC these organizations can avoid contradictory content and unnecessary costs and make life simpler for standards makers, users, and end-consumers.

G20 INDONESIA 2022 International Standards Summit

This year’s summit is organized under the auspices of the Indonesian G20 Presidency alongside the G20 strategic multilateral platform that brings together the world’s major developed and emerging economies on 20 October 2022.

The event is organized by the Indonesian Standardisation Agency BSN, together with the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU (International Telecommunication Union), with the participation of the WTO (World Trade Organization).

This international summit will establish ways in which the institutional framework of the international standards bodies can help governments and regulators around the world. It will examine the role of standards in turning policies into concrete actions to implement objectives related to health, digital transformation, sustainable energy transition and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Together with representatives of governments, industry, academia, think tanks and civil society, WSC will explore how the solutions to these issues can be built on the foundation provided by international standards.

Best wishes,

KRS
