LST Standards

The Lithuanian Standards Board (LST) under the Ministry of Environment was established on 25 April 1990 as the only legally authorized National Standards Body in Lithuania competent for all areas of standardization activities (including electrical engineering and telecommunications) and has exclusive right for standardization activities by virtue of the Law on Standardization.

The staff of LST totals 58 employees, 50 of whom have a university education. The organizational structure of LST includes the following divisions: Management Board; Standardization division 1; Standardization division 2; Standardization division 3; Publishing and distribution division; Planning and proofreading division; Methodical division; Accounting and Logistics divisions; Information and Technology division; Library.

Currently there are 72 LST technical committees, with representatives from manufacturers, service providers, consumers, public authorities, and science organizations. Five LST technical committees are under creation. About 1 000 representatives from more than 600 institutions are members of LST TCs. Manufacturers make up the biggest portion of members (about 73 %); with science making up 12 %, service providers 5 %, consumers 5 %, and public authorities 5 %.

To improve consumer participation in standardization activity, LST established a Consumer Commission on 21 June 1999.

Lithuanian Standards Board represents Lithuania in ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI.
