The EU “AI act without standards doesn’t make sense”. Calls for third party conformity assessment schemes and reminds the audience that safety
and security depends on standards.

Thanks for hosting @BSI_UK and @IECStandards at the Scottish Parliament. Good to discuss standards, product safety and regulations with you and our other Scottish stakeholders

[Clare Adamson MSP @ClareAdamsonSNP]

A pleasure hosting @IECStandards and @BSI_UK in @ScotParl during a major international standards summit in Edinburgh.

Standards are crucial protections that we take for granted. We discussed big challenges like online marketplaces and #AI regulation.

@Standards4EU @EFTAsecretariat @BSI_UK @NormasUNE @SNV_Normen @ECOS_Standard @StandardNorge @EU_Growth @SEKSvenskElstan @ETSI_STANDARDS Great to join the panel at the EFTA conference to discuss impact of the EU Standardisation Strategy on countries outside the EU. Standards build bridges across different regulatory regimes. Working together on standards for the twin transitions has never been more important.

@SciTechgovuk launch of the UK International Tech Strategy this morning which references the @AIStandardsHub pilot and other initiatives to use #standards to drive #tech growth

[David Bell @dmb_bsi]

@DavidHenigUK I agree! Standards always more technically detailed than the regs, and we aim to harmonize them with other countries to support international trade and enable interoperable products. Should work across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and support Swiss+,- or greater divergence
