BOTTL_17 - Coordination challenges within SDO/SSO committees

The lack of proper coordination and harmonization within and between SDO/SSOs committees, particularly those working on new standardisation aspects such as the circular economy, leads to overlapping standards proposals.

REC_17.1.01 - Establish an advisory board to provide guidance and assistance in addressing overlapping and existing proposals, as well as identifying gaps in standards

REC_17.1.02 - Develop roadmaps at the European level, modelled after successful examples at the national level (e.g., DIN/DKE Standardisation Roadmap for Industry 4.0), to guide the standardisation process and ensure alignment with strategic objectives

REC_17.1.03 - Overcome the lack of coordination between different technical committees by creating coordination groups, such as additive manufacturing coordination group, to enhance collaboration and streamline standards development processes

REC_17.1.04 - Encourage the use of digital collaboration platforms and tools within SDO/SSO committees to facilitate communication and document sharing, improving efficiency and transparency in standards development processes
