CEI Standards are the result of countless meetings between industry experts and provide a reliable reference through which the industry can develop its products, services, and innovations.
Standardization activities ensure the safety, performance, and reliability of electrical and electronic systems and devices used in Italy and worldwide. Hundreds of companies, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to multinational corporations, are involved in the standardization work carried out by CEI. Their experts meet to develop new standards or update existing ones that address the specific needs of the industry.
Together with CENELEC and IEC, CEI provides a unique platform where key stakeholders can jointly address common challenges. CEI Standards, along with related certification activities, facilitate trade and access to new markets. In fact, government bodies rely on standards and conformity assessments to ensure that systems and products are safe and perform as expected.
By using CEI Standards (or CEI EN or CEI EN IEC), industry can demonstrate compliance with national requirements and more easily enter most markets around the world.
Client industries can also avoid developing their own specifications for aspects already covered by standards. Moreover, CEI offers client industries the opportunity to present their own technical specifications to global markets as proposals for new national or international standards, or to have them incorporated into an already published and valid standard.
