New standards

News in the area of guidelines and standards

Last update: Q3 2023

Standardization is an ongoing process, trying to keep up with the 'state of art' of technology. As a result, standards are being updated and replaced in an increasing rate. Keeping up to date is a laborious task. Kiwa Dare monitors the changes and report them on this page for you. In this regular column, we'll try to keep you as much as possible up to date of changes and expected modifications.

Important Notices:

These pages contain the most commonly used standards and guidelines by Kiwa Dare. Standards not included in this overview can be applied on request. A complete overview of harmonized standards is included in the overview (if applicable).
