The Standards Antennas are an initiative of the Belgian FPS Economy and have been created to better inform SMEs about the impact of standards on their companies as well as to promote the application of standards.

Centexbel has created five Standards Antennas to follow-up the evolution of standards and regulations and to inform the textile and plastic converting industries by means of publications, work groups and information sessions and by facilitating personal contacts between companies and experts.

Discover what our Standards Antennas can do for you!

  • Which standards apply to your products, processes, or services?

Are you an SME? We also help you take an active role in the development of standards—giving you not only clarity on requirements but also a voice in shaping their future.
