Every year in June, the African Day of Standardisation takes place. In 2025, ECOS will join ARSO (the African Organisation for Standardisation) and other key stakeholders in celebrating together as part of the ARSO week and in support of the ARSO-ECOS partnership agreement on environmental aspects of standards development in Africa. What role do standards play in Africa? How do ARSO, ECOS, and other stakeholders fit in? What are this year’s priorities? Find out below.

Ecodesign, an EU success story, is expanding. More products than ever will soon be designed from the outset with sustainability in mind — a development that will be good for the environment and consumers. But how? And when? The Ecodesigned4LIFE project consortium, ECOS, BEUC, and ANEC, break it down.

Until now, vehicles have been a model for repairability, often in operation for decades. This is rapidly changing due to overly restrictive vehicle design requirements that prevent more sustainable options, more electronic components, and less access to low-cost spare parts. How could a new EU regulation help the automotive sector make a U-turn?
We have a number of open calls for experts across various topics. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions. ECOS experts can participate in technical meetings for standardising bodies, such as CEN/CENELEC or ISO or prepare technical input for ECOS position papers and our responses to consultations.
