Free event to launch new 'Circular Economy' European standards committee

Kick-off meeting as part of the new European standards committee CEN/TC 473 'Circular Economy'

NBN already has a Belgian mirror committee with around 30 experts involved in the work of the international ISO committee.

Now, there's a new development on the horizon: CEN, the organisation that develops and publishes standards at the European level is itself setting up a technical committee related to the circular economy, CEN/TC 473 'Circular Economy'.

This new committee will be highly important for two reasons:

1. It will adopt existing international standards (ISO) as European standards.
2. It will develop new European standards directly related to European regulations and policies. These new standards will be specific to the European market.

The Belgian mirror committee will closely follow what happens within the CEN committee and contribute to the drafting of those standards.

The kick-off event will be in English and consists of 5 parts:

• Part I: Standardisation - What and how
• Part II: Standardisation and the circular economy
• Part III: Circular Economy action plan: EU and Belgium (Claire Lefevre, FPS Economy)
• Part IV: How standards (will) help organisations (Jan Daem, Barco)
• Part V: Networking drink
