Call for activities during the Meeting Standards Week

Meeting Standards, the European initiative created by Small Business Standards (SBS) which is dedicated to helping Small and Medium-sized Enterprises understand and benefit from standardisation, has issued a call for activities to be a part of the 2026 Meeting Standards Week.

Taking place from 22-30 June, Meeting Standards Week is a campaign specifically designed to raise awareness among SMEs about standards, and enabling them to discover how standardisation can help their business thrive. It was created based on a simple, but powerful, observation that SMEs are mostly absent from the standardisation tables and processes that impact their industries.

Standardisation has an effect on virtually every sector, and the light electric vehicle (LEV) is of course no exception. SBS has noted that SMEs often are lacking in the resources and confidence to engage with standardisation, and says of Meeting Standards Week that it “mobilises standards bodies and SME organisations from across Europe to organise a wide and diverse range of activities: workshops, webinars, roundtables, training sessions and networking events, all tailored to help small businesses understand the value of standards and take an active role in shaping them.”
