Standardisation

As the sectoral operator Centexbel is authorized to operate on all textile-related standards, including wall and floor coverings, personal protective equipment, geosynthetics, sport fields, and of course all textiles and textile products.

Centexbel is closely following up the standardization committees of several textile products and testing methods and informs the industry about all evolutions by means of different communication tools, such as the monthly e-newsletter Centexbel INFO, technical work groups...

Centexbel has a seat in some twelve technical committees of CEN and ISO and their Belgian mirror committees. For each of these groups, Centexbel assures that all parties involved can play their role in the standardization process through their participation in working groups.

Therefore we offer them the opportunity to comment on all selected draft standards related to textiles. This list is updated each month and can be downloaded here: prestandards.pdf

An important tool in this respect is LIVELINK put at the disposal of all parties concerned by the Belgian Standardization Institute NBN and where all information is accessible via a password.
