Taking part in regulatory development contributes to defending the interests of the national sector on a European and international level, which increases the credibility and professionalism of this sector.
Access to standards projects from their initial drafting phase, with the possibility of intervening, at a given moment, in the manufacturing process, is crucial to ensuring that the Spanish stance is included in the content of the final standards.
In this way, harmonisation of concepts and management practices is obtained at national, European and international levels according to the needs of our professional activities. This assures that the doors are open to new and larger markets.

Taking part in UNE's standardisation committees facilitates access to the largest network of influence and knowledge generation in the standardisation area.
Taking part in the preparation of standards involves leading the standardisation public-private collaboration mechanism by providing technological and industrial progress, particularly within the framework of the European Union. It also involves raising the awareness of a company's commitment to social responsibility, thus creating value for its stakeholder groups by developing recognised standards resulting from technological progress and innovation.
Belonging to a Standardisation Committee involves forming part of a real centre of intelligence on the products and services in question. Specifically, standards and standardisation play an essential role in technology dissemination and transference.
Contributing to the development and publication of technical standards provides access to strategic information to make decisions linked to corporate Competitive Intelligence.
UNE standards are the encyclopedia of our technology, a highly valuable documentary body for our companies and our country, both at home and abroad, since our language is spoken by another 400 million people outside our borders, comprising one of the most extensive markets in the world.
Standardisation is not only an extraordinarily valuable tool for Spanish companies and, by extension, Spain, but also for Europe, given that more than 75% of UNE standards are European standards.
