Pre-standardisation mechanisms for security

This grant will be awarded without call for proposals in line with Article 190(1)(e) of the Rules of applications of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 966/2012, Regulation No 1268/2012 and Article 11(2) of the Rules for participation and dissemination in ""Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)"", Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013.

Support to a consortium comprising CEN (coordinator) and CENELEC in cooperation with ETSI, as well as the JRC as the current ERNCIP coordinator, to address how to achieve timely standardization in the field of security, including through structural changes.

Pre-standardisation and standardisation processes as currently in place in the fields of security and civil protection are not considered satisfactory, whilst many of their components are very valuable: the JRC produces interesting pre-standards in cooperation with a broader research community; CEN/CENELEC and ETSI produce solid standards with the very active involvement of industry.
