Czech Republic Standards

Czech Standards Institute

CSN Standards

The work of technical standardization in the country was started by the Czechoslovak Electrotechnical Association, established in 1919, and by the Czechoslovak Association of Standardization, established in 1922. In 1951, the activities of the two organizations were combined, and the Office for Standardization and Measurements was set up. The Federal Office for Standards, Metrology and Testing was established in 1968.

Since January 1993, after the splitting of Czechoslovakia into two independent states, the Czech Office for Standards, Metrology and Testing has undertaken coordination functions in standardization, metrology and testing in the Czech Republic. The Czech Standards Institute was established that same year.

Since 1997, the Czech Standards Institute - on the basis of an authorization from the Ministry of Industry and Trade provided under Act 22/1997 Coll. - has become the National Standards Body for all fields of standardization.
