WORKING Committees

Working Committees are planned for the areas of engineering, economy and law, and European Regulations. The “European Regulations” Working Committee is currently active.

Working Committee „European Regulations“

The convening and chairing of the Working Committee “European Regulations” is done by the President and the UEG SBS Expert(s).

The Working Committee focuses on topics of the European standards committee CEN TC 53. In addition, temporary working groups can be formed. The last working group dealt intensively with the subject of “risk assessment” and drew up a practical guideline on “risk assessment”.

The Working Committee “European Regulations” is also the UEG SBS Mirror Committee.

In the UEG SBS Mirror Committee, the UEG members define a common, sensible strategic approach with regard to the votes in the European standardization body CEN/TC 53. Since many members of the Mirror Committee also have voting rights in CEN/TC 53 for their national standardization bodies, the influence of the UEG is not insignificant:
