Basi Managing Director Dr Christian Felten discussed these and many other aspects with the experts Dr Bärbel Wernicke, Head of the “Life and Environment” department at the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), and Angela Janowitz, Managing Director of the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (KAN). DIN (German Institute for Standardization) is the independent platform for standardization in Germany and worldwide, while KAN supports the OSH experts in the standardization committees.
Numerous participants contributed to the discussion with questions and with the help of interactive tools. As not all of the questions submitted via the chat could be dealt with during the event, they will be answered in writing afterwards and made available here soon.
Questions from the chat:

There are various ways to find out about new standardization topics.

The business plans for DIN SPEC projects are also published on the DIN website.
The Standardization Monitor can be used to keep up to date with relevant standards and standardization projects using search terms that you define yourself.
The draft standards portal makes standardization projects currently in the draft standards survey publicly available and offers the opportunity to comment on them.
