European Standardization

Driver:

EU Digital Single Market (DSM) Plan led by JC Juncker (May 2015)

Execution:

the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

standardization work commissioned (TC 331) to ease

international e-retailing:

“European postal standards should be based on, and

compatible with, the open retail standards for end-to-end

supply chain management systems already used by

B2C e-commerce retailers for the global trade in goods and

services”.
