New free standards available
CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, agreed, in collaboration with all their Members and after the urgent request from the European Commission, to make temporarily available for free a new set of European standards (ENs). The seven standards cover respiratory equipment and patient critical care ventilators.
Stakeholders can take over these standards via the Institute for Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by registering on our website (if you are not already registered), and then by ordering the required standard. Standards are submitted in electronic format only (read only). For more information on how to order standards, you can contact us at e-mail: bas_prodaja@bas.gov.ba.
On the CEN website you can also find CWA 17553: 2020, Community face covers - Guide to minimum requirements, methods of testing and use, which was published in June 2020.
In addition to the list of free European standards, certain international standards are still available free of charge in “read only” format and can be found on the following websites:
ISO standards: www.iso.org/covid19
IEC standards: https://go.iec.ch/covid19faq
ASTM standards: https://www.astm.org/COVID-19/
Free access to these standards will be provided until the end of the crisis caused by the new coronavirus pandemic or new guidelines from European/international standardization organizations.
