Webinar for Standard Drafters: 'Getting Started with the OSD'

The CEN and CENELEC "Webinars for standard drafters" are of interest of all persons drafting CEN and/or CENELEC standards. They aim primarily Technical Body Secretaries and TC Working Group convenors. Through these webinars we will achieve a common understanding of the drafting rules and the related procedures. This is also an ideal opportunity for the CEN and CENELEC editors to better understand the expectations of the Technical Body Officers and strengthen the working relationships with the different Technical Bodies.

As the OSD -Online Standards Development platform- is becoming the default for CEN projects in scope activated after 1 July 2026, in this transition year the webinars cover both drafting in OSD and in Word (for CEN projects not in scope and CENELEC projects).

In the second webinar, join our editors Marlies and Sara for a discussion on getting started with your deliverables in the OSD. We will look at where to find what you need, the existing materials available, and give you the option to make suggestions for upcoming webinars.

Please note that this is not a webinar for general IT help, but that the scope is solely on drafting standards.

Target audience: Standards drafters, convenors and TC secretaries (anyone drafting standards or working with the documents)

Speakers: Marlies De Coninck & Sara Tobback, editors at CEN-CENELEC.
