Technical standardization
English
"Private voluntary standardisation developed in Europe over the last 100 years. The system mainly developed from the need of private enterprise to increase efficiency. The ongoing development of international markets created a need for international communication about and harmonisation of national standards. So after the emerging of National Standards Bodies in the 1920's, European Standards Organisations emerged: CEN in1961, CENELEC in 1973, and ETSI in 1988."
