6.  In essence, a standard is an agreed way of doing something – it is all about
reaching consensus.
 There are different types of standard (e.g., terminology standard, product
standard, service standard). A standard could be about making a product,
managing a process, delivering a service or supplying materials – standards
can cover a huge range of activities undertaken by organizations and used by
their customers.
 Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise in their subject
matter and who know the needs of the organizations they represent – people
such as manufacturers, sellers, buyers, customers, trade associations, users
or regulators.
 They exist at different levels – International, European, National, & Industry
What is a Standard?
Source: BSI – What is a standard?

7.  Very few standards developed
 Inadequate participation of stakeholders
 No clear path from research projects to standards
 Division of work between levels of standardisation
 Coordination of work between committees
 Slow progress of working groups

8. Project Objectives

9. Stakeholder Communities
• European & International Standardisation
committees and working groups
• Provide information on existing standards
and forthcoming new work items
• Benefit from increased efficiency in standard
development as well as from definition of
standardisation needs and opportunities

10. Stakeholder Communities
• Organizations using standards in their work
(first responders, law enforcement agencies,
non-governmental organizations)
• Identify current and future standardisation
needs based on their work experience
• Contribute to increased interoperability and
compatibility between systems and services
• Receive up-to-date information on existing
and future standards

11. Stakeholder Communities
• Industry, including SMEs and the research
community (universities, RTOs)
• Provide understanding of the expectations,
drivers and restraints of the community
• Identify potential new technologies,
solutions, procedures and practices that can
be used as basis for future standardisation
• Benefit from increased efficiency in product
development and clear view on standards

12.  198 end-user contacts invited to join
 82 registered members representing 75 different
organisations and 24 countries (see D3.1 for info)
 Research with the end-user community to identify
& validate their standardisation needs &
understand drivers & constraints:
 Survey (35 responses) (see D3.2 for info)
 Desk-based research – analysis of 101 EU projects
research results (see D3.2 for info)
 Workshops (Helsinki, Brussels, Berlin & Rome)
ResiStand’s End-User Community: Participation
• Organizations using standards in their work
(first responders, law enforcement agencies,
non-governmental organizations)
• Identify current and future standardisation
needs based on their work experience
• Contribute to increased interoperability and
compatibility between systems and services
• Receive up-to-date information on existing
and future standards

13.  Preliminary standardisation needs identified & clustered to four disaster
management phases of mitigation, preparedness, recovery & response:
 192 end-user standardisation needs identified from survey & desk research
 Survey identified 35 standardisation needs, with the focus on preparedness (14) &
response (14) rather than mitigation (5) and recovery (2)
 For preparedness, end-users need standards in relation to training, response & recovery
planning, & establishing (International) cooperation
 For response, end-users need standards in relation to command, control & coordination,
warning/crisis communication, & security/law enforcement
ResiStand’s End-User Community: Preliminary Findings

14.  157 standardisation needs identified through desk based research – response
(51), preparedness (23), mitigation (19), & recovery (2)
 For preparedness standardisation needs predominantly cover response & recovery
planning, monitoring & detection, training, & asset management
 For response standardisation needs predominantly cover information management,
command, control & coordination, & warning/crisis communication
 Results from the four workshops available in D3.3 (April 2017)
ResiStand’s End-User Community: Preliminary Findings

15. 1. A roadmap for future standardisation activities
 critical evaluation of the potential of standards
 identification of gaps in the standardisation funnel
 prioritization of standardisation needs
 standardisation roadmap for improved disaster resilience
2. A sustainable process to improve future standardisation
 mapping of demand and supply
 assessment of standardisation
 successful application of standardisation deliverables
 will be tested during the project with a work item
 exploitation strategy and implementation plan
The Outcome

16.  Better assessment of feasibility and impact of standards
 Establishment of a standardisation roadmap at European (CEN/CENELEC) and
international (ISO/IEC) levels
 Improved coordination of activities at EU and international levels and cross-
fertilisation among different sectors
 Improved complementary contribution to disaster resilience of populations,
crisis and disaster management / civil protection and / or CBRNE systems,
tools and services
The Impact

17.  Workshop 11 September 2017 in Brussels, accompanied by CoU
 Validation of identified Standardisation Gaps
 Discussion on the potential of standards
 Final conference on 22 March 2018 in Berlin, Germany
 Presentation of Standardisation Roadmap
 Introduction of the ResiStand Process
Future steps & further involvement
