General presentation

Standardisation takes place at national, European and international levels. These 3 levels are closely linked at the organisational level, in order to make the whole system more efficient.

Road vehicles

  • Presentation of ISO/TC 22 & CEN/TC 301

In the automotive sector, most of the standards are from international (ISO) or European origin (EN standards). In this context, the role of the BNA is to involve stakeholders in France in order to develop a national common position on each project of standard.

ISO/TC 22 develops standards for all components and systems for Road Vehicles. This applies to light vehicles (mopeds and motorcycles), passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, on all types of engines (thermal, electric, gaseous fuel).

Reorganized in 2015, ISO/TC 22 consists of 11 subcommittees (SC), 72 working groups (WG). By the end of 2022, ISO/TC 22 published more than 980 standards. France has managed ISO/TC 22 since its creation in 1947, with the BNA providing the secretariat. The chair is held by Fabien DUBOC (Renault).

Another Technical Committee ISO/TC 204 covers the standardization in the field of Intelligent transport services (ITS). One of its working groups is directly related to the automotive industry: WG 14 on Advanced driver-assistance systems.

CEN/TC 301 was established in 1992 to develop standards for electric vehicles. Its scope has been extended, and is now the European mirror committee of ISO/TC 22 (same scope). Currently, it mainly responds to the European Commission's requests for standardisation. For example, it has adopted standards accompanying directives on alternative fuels, interoperability of electric vehicle charging, maintenance and repair information (RMI). Recently, CEN/TC 301 intiated the development of projects on batteries, and the recycling of plastics, to respond to European Commission's requests.
