๐ The SMART Project enters its second phase! The SMART project, an initiative to bring digital transformation and machine-readability into European standardization, is now moving into its second phase. This follows the successful launch of Phase 1, where the SMART tool supported drafting up to the Enquiry stage. In this next phase, SMART will expand capabilities so that standards can be drafted, reviewed and published entirely within the platform, supporting end-to-end digital workflows and enhancing clarity, structure and usability of standards for both drafters and users. This is an important step toward more modern, efficient and user-friendly standards, making it easier for stakeholders across industry, regulators and academia to implement and apply standards at scale.

๐ฑโ Driving the green transition in inland navigation! New European Standard โ EN 18071:2025 โ has been published, supporting the safe use of methanol as a green fuel for inland navigation. This standard sets out harmonised technical and operational requirements for methanol bunkering along Europeโs waterways, helping ports, vessel operators and fuel suppliers adopt cleaner fuels with confidence. Methanol, which can be produced from renewable sources and burns more cleanly than traditional fuels, is an emerging solution to reduce emissions in inland shipping โ a sector crucial to European trade and climate goals. EN 18071:2025 provides clear rules for everything from transfer systems and safety equipment to operational procedures and personnel competence, ensuring bunkering operations are safe, reliable and interoperable across Europe. This standard contributes to the EUโs climate ambitions and aligns with key regulatory frameworks like the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 and Standardization Request M/581. ๐น Standard: EN 18071:2025 โ Inland navigation vessels โ Methanol bunkering ๐น Focus: safety, reliability and interoperability of methanol bunkering across inland waterways ๐น Impact: supports cleaner, safer and more sustainable inland transport ๐ข ๐น Role of Standards: enabling innovation and greener mobility through harmonized technical guidance ๐ European standardization continues to pave the way for greener transport solutions โ this is an exciting step forward! ๐ Read more: https://lnkd.in/eNu-Utku

At CEN and CENELEC, we are proud to contribute to this ambition through the development of European Standards that strengthen the hashtag#SingleMarket. ๐ The programme outlines 38 new policy objectives and 47 legislative initiatives for the coming year. One key initiative we will be closely following is the European Product Act, which will bring together the New Legislative Framework, Market Surveillance Regulation, and the Standardisation Regulation. Earlier this year, CEN and CENELEC responded to the Call for Evidence on the revision of the Standardization Regulation, sharing our vision on strengthening the European Standardization System and ensuring its continued relevance and resilience. If you want to learn more you can find the full response here: https://lnkd.in/eAcQ7PrS. ๐ค CEN and CENELEC look forward to working with the European Commission and other stakeholders to shape a European Product Act and a revised standardization regulation that ensure a future-ready, inclusive and globally competitive European Standardization System. #TrustStandards #StrongerTogether
