At the outset let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy and safe 2024 !
This is the December 2023 edition of SESEI Newsletter Europe. I am very happy to inform you that the-
4th Edition of the Indo-European Conference on Standards & Emerging Technologies organised in the framework of Project SESEI - http://sesei.eu/ on December 7, 2023, in New Delhi, was a resounding success. The Conference served as a pivotal platform for experts, policymakers, standards makers, and the industry leaders to exchange insights and cultivate collaborations in critical areas such as circular economy (e-waste & Plastic Waste), connectivity in smart cities, cyber security & data privacy.
How standards drive Europe’s transition towards Net-Zero
Welcoming COP28: how Standards help green the European Single Market
A new CEN/TC will develop standards for carbon capture, utilization and storage
Green and Clean Technologies EU/EFTA-India Upcoming Events
3GPP has completed its 25 glorious years in Dec’23, which was initially formed to produce specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System, it has continued to work on 4G and 5G specifications getting used by billions of consumers globally and it also stands ready to create the 6G future.
Stronger laws and regulations are felt necessary for addressing the risks posed with the use of Artificial Intelligence, recently the world’s first comprehensive laws to regulate artificial intelligence have been agreed in a landmark deal between the European Parliament and EU member states. The agreement will regulate artificial intelligence and protect the public from risks that include potential threat to life that many fear by this rapidly growing AI technology. A full fledge Technical Committee has been constituted at ETSI to directly contribute to standardization requests, which may include, but not limited to, the EU’s AI Act, Cybersecurity Resilience Act and NIS2.
The needs to shift towards green transition is felt globally and both India and EU are committed towards faster transition towards Net-Zero. Electricity plays a key role to achieve climate neutrality and the Green Deal objectives. European Standardization bodies CENCENELEC are taking strong measure and contributing to make progress in the global effort towards fighting climate change, through standards that are contributing to a greener Single Market. A workshop on ‘Road to Net Zero: Standards for the All-Electric Society’ was organised by CEN and CENELEC together with DKE to explore the challenges and opportunities of Europe’s electrical transition.
With this, we invite you to read the India Newsletter and provide us with your valuable feedback.
Warm regards,
Dinesh Chand Sharma Director Standards & Public Policy
The Commission welcomes the political agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), proposed by the
Welcoming COP28: how Standards help green the European Single Market
CEN and CENELEC have recently established a new European Technical Committee CEN/TC 473 ‘Circular Economy’ to design standards that will make the circular economy a reality in the European Single Market. CEN and CENELEC Technical Committees working on standards for Hydrogen Technologies include CENCLC/JTC 6 ‘Hydrogen in energy Systems’, and CEN/TC 268 ‘Cryogenic vessels and specific hydrogen technologies applications’. CEN and CENELEC also contributed to the European Commission’s Roadmap on hydrogen standardization.
CEN and CENELEC technical committees such as CLC/TC 13 ‘Electrical energy measurement and control’, CEN/CLC/JTC 14 ‘Energy management and energy efficiency in the framework of energy transition’, and CEN/TC 371 ‘Energy Performance of Buildings’ are examples of some of the CEN and CENELEC bodies meeting the demand for smarter and more efficient energy consumption through standardization.
As the needs of the green transition evolve, so too will the ambition of the European Standardization system. CEN and CENELEC will continue to work towards a greener European Single Market, relying on the passion and knowledge of our
CEN/TC 474, a new Technical Committee on COշ capture, transportation, utilization, storage (CCUS) and carbon accounting, has been established.
CCUS is an important emission reduction technology that can be applied across the energy system. Technologies involve the capture of CO2 from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of this CO2 via ship or pipeline, and either its use as a resource to create valuable products or services or its permanent storage deep underground in geological formations. CCUS also provides the foundation for carbon removal or negative emissions when the CO2 comes from bio-based processes or directly from the atmosphere.

The SESEI project (Seconded European Standardization Expert in India) is a project cofunded by five European partners, operating from New Delhi, India, with the objective to increase the visibility of European standardization in India and to promote EU/EFTA-India cooperation on standards and related activities. The SESEI Project (http://sesei.eu/) is managed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI - http://www.etsi.org/ - EU recognized Standards Organization for Telecommunication sectors) and is further supported by two other EU recognized Standards Organization, namely the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) – http://www cencenelec eu - which develop and adopt European standards in a wide range of products, services and processes, as well as by the European Commission (www ec europa eu) and the European Free Trade Association (http://www efta int/) It is a Standardization focused project, with a priority emphasis on the sectors falling under Digitization and Clean & Green Technologies etc
