Standards are essential to ensure that products and equipment are safe, reliable, and support market access across Europe and internationally. They facilitate legal compliance and help manufacturers deliver solutions that meet customer expectations for quality and performance. 

EUnited is actively involved in technical committees at both European (CEN and CENELEC) and international (ISO and IEC) level. Through this engagement, we contribute to the development of standards relevant to municipal and professional cleaning equipment, and vehicle wash systems. 

Technical committees and subcommittees in which EUnited is involved directly and through its members include: 

• CEN/TC 183 Waste management 

• CEN/TC 197 Pumps  

• CEN/TC 337  Winter maintenance and road service area maintenance equipment 

• CLC/TC 31 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances 

• CLC/TC 59 X Performance of household and similar electrical appliances 

• CLC/TC 61Safety of household and similar electrical appliances

In addition, EUnited monitors and supports standardisation initiatives in other regions, such as the Technical Harmonization Committees 335K and 335H in North America, which promote alignment of international and regional standards and the sharing of best practices.
