CEI organizes training Seminars, free of charge, where speakers describe in details technical – scientific subjects concerning up to date and future works related to the Standardization activity. The Seminars apply to designers, installers and inspectors operating in the electrical and electronic fields.
The Seminars are held all over Italy, in the main cities, usually every month from February to October and, on demand, credits will be assigned to participants following the agreements between CEI and the Association of Engineers. These events are carried out with the support of the most important companies in the sector, under the patronage of the Ministry of Economic Development, the National Fire Brigade and in agreement with the Orders of Engineers and the Colleges of Experts, providing numerous professional training credits.
The CEI also organizes numerous itinerant seminars created ad hoc on specific topics in collaboration with SMEs and associated companies.
Click here to see when and where the Seminars are (Italian only).
In order to promote the regulatory culture and the correct application and interpretation of the standards themselves, the CEI organizes training courses that can be held both at the CEI headquarters and at the customer’s premises.
All training courses produced and held by the CEI are based on topics that are the subject of CEI Standards and Technical Guides and are intended to facilitate SMEs in the correct approach to legislation, giving the tools to read, interpret and translate the contents of the Standards and Technical Guides published by the CEI into practice.
A list of the next editions of the CEI courses is available.

European Commission portal for SMEs and technical standardization
In early February 2014, CEN and CENELEC signed a collaboration agreement with Small Business Standards (SBS).
SBS is a European non-profit association, established in 2013, whose main task is to intensify the active participation and increasing involvement of SMEs in the European technical standardization process.
The role that SBS is called upon to play is to ensure that the interests of SMEs are adequately protectedin the standardization process through a constant flow of information on this aspect between ESOs and SMEs (and of course vice versa, signaling the specific needs of small and medium-sized enterprises). companies).
The activities of SBS have been requested and financed by the European Commission and replace those previously carried out by Normapme, a recently dissolved association.
The agreement just signed opens the way for the systematic acquisition of the contribution of SBS to the regulatory work of CEN and CENELEC mainly through the direct participation of representatives of SBS in a number of Technical committees of the two European standardization bodies. For more information on SBS, see the following link http://www.ueapme.com/spip.php?rubrique24.
