Welcome to the world of ETSI



We produce globally applicable standards for Information & Communications Technologies including fixed, mobile, radio, broadcast, internet and several other areas.

ETSI is recognised as an official European Standards Organisation by the European Commission (EC), enabling valuable access to European markets.

High quality and low time-to-market are our constant aims and we continually strive to collaborate with research bodies. We are active in vital surround areas such as interoperability and we offer event services related to standardisation including forum hosting.

Our international reputation is built on openness, discussion, consensus and direct input from our members.
