ETSI is not …

a REGULATORY body, but… • we provide technical specifications to support regulation

a CERTIFICATION body, but… • we provide specifications and other tools to assist certification

a FREQUENCY ALLOCATION body, but… • we collect, co-ordinate and contribute frequency requirements for the

ICT community

part of the European Commission, nor part of CEPT, but… • we work closely with these and

ETSI – a global standards producer

ETSI was established as a European body and retains European responsibilities. But…

…many of ETSI’s Members are global players…

…so ETSI seeks to have its standards adopted worldwide

About 20% of ETSI’s Members have no established operations in Europe

Many of the other 80% are headquartered outside Europe

ETSI – a Service Provider

In addition to standards-making, ETSI provides a range of supporting services, notably…

• Creation of test specifications and methodologies

• Test methodology & development, Interoperability testing

ETSI Partnership Agreements

Working with others is the best way to ensure coherence between the standards produced by ETSI and those of others

ETSI’s investment in new partnerships is an important mean to adapt its activities to new standardization trends

Partnership Agreements are crucial in those new areas where ETSI is just starting to establish its footprint
