2 DIN is a registered non-profit association supported by the private sector. On the basis of a contractual agreement with the Federal Republic of Germany, DIN is the responsible German standards body in European and international standards work. DIN staff385 Members of DIN 1,862 External experts 28,897 DIN Standards (total) 32,454 Standards committees 71 Subcommittees DIN German Institute for Standardization MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

4 The standardization system plays a major role in economic success The economic benefit of standardization in Germany amounts to approx. 17 billion Euro, 0,7 % of the gross domestic product. Annual costs of standardization in Germany are estimated to be 700 million Euro.

5 National Regional Inter- national German Institute for Standardization Sectors  Engineering  Construction  Services  Information technology  Aerospace  Medical technology  Precision engineering ...  Electrotechnology  Tele- communications DIN represents German interests in international standards work MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

6 Traditional Role of Standards  Access to (global) markets  Cost reduction  Safety and Sustainability  … Valued-added role for research and innovation  Promote knowledge and technology transfer of research findings into practice and on the market  Help disseminate and implement innovative knowledge  Network relevant actors  New ideas, technologies and products need standardization to get into the marketplace and to be successful Twofold role of standardization MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

7 Strategies of DIN  Identify and analyze innovative sectors  Continually work on raising the awareness of potential standards users of the uses and usefulness of standards, and of the consequential benefits  Embed the concept of standardization in public research programs  Increase the involvement of SME and scientific research in standardization processes Exploiting standardization for innovation MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

8 Measures of the German Federal Government High-Tech Strategy 2020 for Germany  Standardization is increasingly becoming an integral component of the research and innovation process in Germany  Standardization supports the transfer of research results into marketable products and services, as well as a fast access to the market for innovations Standardization Policy Concept  Use standardization for the implementation and dissemination of innovations and research findings MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

9 Adaptation to High-Tech Strategy 2020 for Germany  The Innovation projects are oriented to the fields of action of HTS 2020 Climate Energy Health Nutrition MobilitySecurityCommuni- cation Cross-cutting issues / general conditions Key technologies Global challenges fields of action MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

11 Standard/ Specification Research initiative Market maturity Transfer R&D phase standardization (EBN) projects BMWi Project "Transfer of R&D Results through Standardization (TNS)" BMWi Project "Innovation with Norms and Standards (INS)" DIN's tools for linking R&D and standardization MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

12 Example: Electromobility  Safety requirements for electric vehicles (EVs)  Charging interface EVs / power grid  Communication EVs – power grid  Hardware – plugs / sockets  Energy storage – Components and Systems  Power electronics, system components  Geometric and electric classes  Test methods for determining product characteristics  Recyclability/Environmental protection/Occupational health & safety  Requirements for the electromagnetic compatbibility (EMC) of the vehicle Need for standardization in innovative fields MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

13 Example: Civil Security  Society faces security challenges, e.g.  organized crime and violent terrorist acts,  the need to protect critical infrastructures,  natural disasters and pandemics,  cyber crime, etc.  Expected growth of the Security market potential from € 20 bn to € 31 bn by 2015  Standards and specifications accepted throughout Europe and worldwide ensure reliability and interoperability in the security market Need for standardization in innovative fields MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

14  Supporting cooperation among the relevant stakeholders  private and public sectors  setting up a network and communication platform  Reviewing and updating the standardization potential  basis for future standards and specifications  Consulting interested parties (standards organizations, associations, consortia, R&D, science; industry, politics, other stakeholders) Tasks of the Coordination Office MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems

15  Developing strategies for improving the representation of German interests at international and European level to promote the export of security technologies and services  Improving communication between security services, operators, public agencies and emergency services  Contributing to the development of technical rules on compatibility, quality and security levels, including test methods and requirements for certification  Coordinating national consensus-building on questions of certification in the security industry Tasks of the Coordination Office MINPROMTORGA project funded by the European Union Approximation of EU and RF technical regulation, standardisation and certification systems
