PKN

The Polish Committee for Standardization (Polski Komitet Normalizacyjny – PKN) is a national standards body responsible for the organization of standardization activities. The PKN is not a government agency, but a body governed by public law. The basis for its operation is the Polish Standardization Act of 12 September 2002.

The national standards body must be impartial and independent of any interest group, and standardization works are performed by the PKN’s Technical Bodies (TBs). The PKN offers to all stakeholder circles interested in standardization the possibility to participate in the works of respective TBs: Technical Committees (TCs), Project Committees (PCs) and Technical Subcommittees (SCs).
