For the European Union, this is implemented as"EU REP".
Why does it matter?
✅ Aligns labelling with current EU regulatory terminology
✅ Supports international harmonization by enabling use across different jurisdictions
✅ Helps manufacturers maintain consistent global labelling strategies
✅ Preserves clear, language-independent communication on medical device labels, packaging, and instructions for use

While the change may seem minor, it reflects how standards evolve to support regulatory clarity, global trade, and effective communication throughout the medical device sector. A five-year transition period will allow manufacturers to implement the update through planned product and packaging revisions.

📢 Safe, sustainable & affordable #construction in Europe, what’s at stake? Our Acting DG Cinzia Missiroli highlighted the role of harmonised standards in supporting the #SingleMarket at the European Parliament's public hearing. Re-listen👉https://tinyurl.com/492wu5v3 #Construction #TrustStandards

📢 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 – 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞?
At the European Parliament's discussion, stakeholders tackled rising costs, supply chain pressures, and regulatory challenges shaping the construction sector. A clear message emerged: innovation, digitalisation, and standardisation are key to delivering faster, safer, and more sustainable construction across the #EU.

During the discussion, CEN and CENELEC's Acting Director General Cinzia Missiroli highlighted the key role of harmonised European Standards in supporting a well-functioning construction ecosystem.
These standards provide a common technical framework that underpins the #SingleMarket and thus ensuring safety, reliability, and comparability of construction products across Europe, while enabling innovation and smoother market access.
👉 Take a closer look at the discussions and reflect on how standardisation can further support a more resilient, sustainable, and competitive construction sector in Europe.

🌍 CEN and the Institute of Standards of Cambodia (ISC) have signed an agreement for the adoption of 50+ #Eurocodes, marking a major step towards internationally recognised structural design standards in Cambodia. Read more: tinyurl.com/2sp6kpbd

🌍 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.
In May 2026, CEN and the Institute of Standards of Cambodia (ISC) signed a License Agreement covering the adoption of more than 50 hashtag#Eurocodes, with the national adoption process expected to be completed by June 2027.
This milestone marks an important step in Cambodia’s alignment with internationally recognised structural design standards and highlights the growing interest in Eurocodes across the hashtag#ASEAN region to support safer, higher-quality and more resilient hashtag#construction practices.
The agreement also demonstrates the lasting impact of the Eurocodes Dialogue, implemented under the European Commission’s E-READI programme and managed by DG INTPA. Since 2019, the initiative has fostered technical cooperation, policy dialogue, training and knowledge exchange between the EU and ASEAN Member States in the field of construction standards.
Led by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) EU Science, Research and Innovation in collaboration with the ASEAN Consultative Committee for Standards and Quality (ACCSQ), the Dialogue has helped strengthen capacities, build expertise and deepen connections between European and ASEAN stakeholders.
This achievement is another example of how hashtag#standards can support hashtag#internationalcooperation, sustainable development and economic growth.
