As a result, SBS is present in several technical committees, subcommittees and working groups, hence shaping the content of standards in a large number of sectors crucial for SMEs. These sectors encompass a wide variety of economic activities, ranging from tourism to information and communication technologies, from textile and footwear to cosmetics or from pyrotechnics to machinery.
Some of these committees also develop harmonised standards in support of European legislation following a request from the European Commission. These harmonised standards can support SMEs to comply with EU legal requirements and in this way ensure the safety of their products and access to the European Single market.
