WG3 – Standardization

Leader: Michel Histel – Specialist Norms

The EIA encourages its members to collaborate with the national organizations involved in standardization and to support the establishment of comprehensive and quality-orientated international norms and standards.

The EIA recently joined two Technical Committees of the CEN, the European StandardizationCommittee: the CEN/TC 334 (Irrigation techniques) and the CEN/TC 144 (Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, including hose reels machines, center pivots and lateral move systems).

This status of Liaison Partner gives the EIA a unique opportunity to influence the preparation of standards in these two key areas of our industry’s activities.  

The goal of this group is also to published recent EU publications on Standardization in wastewater reuse and Guidelines for treated wastewater use for irrigation projects.
