STIIMA-CNR is involved in standardisation activities by participating in national and international technical committees. In addition, STIIMA-CNR supports organisations in their standardisation processes by developing new standards or adopting existing standards and carrying out the necessary technical tests, analyses and reports.
Partnerships with standardisation bodies (UNI, ISO, IEC)
CNR and UNI (the Italian Standardisation Body) have signed a framework agreement for a series of joint actions for the development of pre-standardisation and standardisation activities. In this scenario, STIIMA-CNR experts participate in the development of new standard designs at national and international level.
The thematic areas of standardisation in which the Institute is focused concern Industry 4.0, textiles, safety in robotics, geographic information, sustainability and circular economy. In these areas STIIMA-CNR experts participate in the following technical committees at national level:
- UNI CT 004 “Ambiente”
- UNI CT 024 “Macchine utensili”
- UNI CT 046 “Tessile e Abbigliamento”
