In 2001, all industry standardization bodies in Sweden joined SIS with two exceptions—Svensk Elstandard (SEK) and Svenska informations- och telekommunikationsstandardiseringen (ITS) which were given the right to establish and issue Swedish standards in the areas of electricity, and information and communication technology, respectively.[1]
Activities
SIS and its members develop standards within different domains, including construction, safety, healthcare, consumer products, management systems, engineering, environmental issues and safety. SIS participates in the European and global network which develops international standards. SIS is a member of the European cooperative effort CEN as well as the global ISO. SIS was founded in 1922.
Earlier on, the SIS logotype was often used for indicating that a tool was compliant with Swedish standards, but this has been replaced with the CE mark.
