To promote the global competitiveness of the EU security industry while enhancing the security of Europe, the European Commission has requested the European Standardisation Organisations to draft three European standardisation roadmaps in the security sector under Action 1 of their Communication on Security Industrial Policy. One of the roadmaps to be developed is for CBRNE focusing on minimum detection standards as well as sampling standards, including in the area of aviation security. Related issues pertinent to these specific areas should also be considered.
The Netherlands Standardisation Institute (NEN), coordinator of the mandate work, and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, host of this event, invite experts in the field of CBRNE to share their ideas and experiences at this workshop.
Subject experts and representatives from relevant constituencies are invited to register online for this workshop. Interested parties unable to attend the workshop may also contribute to the roadmap.
Workshop
In light of the request for a concrete and detailed standardisation roadmap in the priority area of CBRNE, in particular minimum detection and sampling standards, this workshop is organised on 11 and 12 April 2013 at JRC in Ispra, Italy.
The workshop will provide participants an unique opportunity to discuss potential European needs and proposals for CBRNE standardisation, with a focus on minimum detection and sampling standards, with relevant stakeholders, including representatives from governments, technology providers and integrators of CBRNE systems, standardisation bodies, academia, as well as regulatory bodies and end users. Based on user and market needs, the results of the workshop will shape the future of European standardisation in this field.
Participants will work in discussion groups of 8-10 people and each group will be facilitated. Subjects of the discussions will be determined by the input provided by the registrants prior to the workshop. Please see “Registration” for more information.

The European Commission has granted the Security Mandate M/487 to the European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs) requesting a study to analyse the current standardisation 'landscape' in the field of security standards and to come up with a recommendation list of areas for priority treatment (phase 1); and the development of proposed standardisation roadmaps addressing selected priority areas (phase 2).
Phase 1 was successfully finalised in 2012 and the following three areas were selected for priority treatment, as described in the Communication of the Commission COM (417) Final:
• CBRNE – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives – minimum detection standards as well as sampling standards, including in the area of aviation security;
• Border security – common technical and interoperability standards for automated border control systems, as well as standards for biometric identifiers;
• Crisis management/civil protection – standards for communication interoperability, as well as interoperability of command and control, including organisational interoperability, as well as mass notification of the population.
Following the acceptance of the Security Mandate M/487 by the ESOs, the work was designated to the European technical committee “Societal and Citizen Security” (CEN/TC 391) to be executed by the Netherlands Standardisation Institute, holder of the Secretariat. Phase 2 started in January 2013 and will finish by the end of June 2013. Based on the outcome of Mandate M/487, the European Commission expects to issue further standardisation mandates to request the implementation of the specific standardisation work programmes.
