Bottlenecks and recommendations
Recommendation(s) for SDO/SSOs (target group)
Bottleneck Group: Complexity and Navigation Challenges in Standards
Bottleneck Group: Complexity and Navigation Challenges in Standards
BOTTL_01 - Complexity of scope and landscape
REC_01.1.01 - Reduce the complexity of the standardisation landscape and provide a general overview across all bodies on one specific topic and current activities
REC_01.1.02 - Provide helpful tools and explanations, if missing on navigating the standards system
REC_01.1.03 - Harmonize terminology deviations across SDO/SSOs
REC_01.1.04 - Improve the public availability of information about the scope of work of technical committees and groups
REC_01.1.05 - Provide clear information on how domains and subdomains are organised
REC_01.1.06 - Prepare relevant explanatory events and enhance visibility of existing trainings, proactively inviting companies to join
REC_01.1.07 - Create more transparency on decisions made regarding standards under development or in a preparatory stage and clarify their amendment processes
REC_01.1.08 - Provide clear information about contacts able to clarify the scope or other relevant questions
REC_01.1.09 - Establish interfaces within the scope of each group to identify gaps transparently and ensure existing standards that can fill this gap are recognized
REC_01.1.10 - Implement automated tools for document management and version control to enhance efficiency
REC_01.1.11 - Establish dedicated support teams or help desks to assist stakeholders with navigating the standardisation scope and landscape or clarify difference between standards and regulations
BOTTL_06 - Low development speed
REC_06.1.02 - Make standards more practical and easier to adopt
REC_06.2.01 - Investigate the reasons that slowdown the development of the standards compared to the technical development
REC_06.2.02 - Make frequent reviews for possible overlaps with existing standards, especially in such areas as additive manufacturing and circular economy
REC_06.2.03 - Provide a dedicated support line (e.g. depending on the reasons for slow development) for working groups in emerging topics or areas to speed up the development of standards
REC_06.2.04 - Work with quick deliverables (e.g. technical reports, CWA, PAS) as a reference document to make an easy start for the adoption of the standards
REC_06.2.05 - Involve companies in the standardisation process that are interested in adopting a standard
REC_06.2.06 - Support the development of the technical standard at an early stage and provide quick feedback from a technical perspective (agile development), e.g. see LNI 4.0 as a testbed for testing standards at German level
BOTTL_12 - Complexity of processes and bureaucracy
REC_12.1.01 - Shorten the response time for requests from members, ensuring timely and efficient communication
REC_12.1.02 - Make it easier for individuals and organizations not involved with SDOs to request and obtain information
REC_12.1.03 - Provide direct access to information or designate a contact person specifically for non-members
BOTTL_16 - Difficulty in aligning with emerging technologies and standards
REC_16.1.01 - Foster communication between different technical committees by establishing targeted liaisons to analyse and prioritize gaps in standards, facilitating collaboration and alignment across diverse areas of expertise
BOTTL_21 - Verification process complexity
REC_21.1.01 - Facilitate regular communication and collaboration between the SDO/SSO and the European Commission
REC_21.1.02 - Develop and implement standardized templates and checklists for compatibility verification
BOTTL_22 - Interconnected complexity of standards
REC_22.1.01 - Simplify complex standards by reducing dependencies on other standards where possible
REC_22.1.02 - Create comprehensive implementation guides that deconstruct the complexity of the standards and clarify all dependencies
REC_22.1.03 - Develop and provide user-friendly tools and resources to help companies navigate the interconnected standards
REC_22.1.04 - Establish a dedicated support team to assist companies, particularly SMEs, in understanding and implementing complex standards
