  • Celebrating the 2025 African Day of Standardisation

    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.

  • ECOS newsletter – February 2025

    A number of important EU policies will be taking shape this year – ecodesign, the Clean Industrial Deal, circular vehicle design - to name but a few. ECOS will be closely following these files and participating in the development of related standards, secondary legislation, and design requirements. The ECOS Africa office will also be hosting a webinar with our Cameroonian member to exchange best practices from Europe and Africa for tackling greenwashing.
