EFSAC-endorsed Technical Documents

EFSAC Endorsement Procedure

EFSAC Members can publish under their own name technical documents with the statement EFSAC endorsed under certain conditions :

• The documents called ETDs act as a European guideline as long as no CEN, CENELEC or ETSI standard exists.
  

• A real market need at European level is identified
  

and

• No activity in the particular field is currently underway in CEN, CLC or ETSI
  

or

• stand-still agreements have been cancelled
  

or

• the progress of work is unacceptable, ie the target dates are exceeded by far
  

or

• additional requirements concerning an existing CEN or CENELEC standard are necessary
  
  
• ETDs are prepared by EFSAC members and endorsed by the EFSAC board. This means that the relevant ETDs are supported by the European insurers, certifiers and manufacturers.
