Technical Body • ETSI Technical Reports (TR) • ETSI Technical Specifications (TS) Members (60 day voting period) • ETSI Guides (EG) • ETSI Standards (ES) Public (National Standards Organizations) • EN (telecommunications series) • including Harmonized Standards and Community Specifications Industry Specification Group • ETSI Group Specifications (GS) © ETSI 2014 9 SEM 14 -05

Public Approval EN (telecommunications series) • involves National Standards Organizations • involves “Public Enquiry” and “public” Vote • weighted national voting New EN approval procedure (ENAP) combining previous OAP and TAP (one step and two step approval) Two-step procedure (TAP) • 11, 5 months © ETSI 2014 10 SEM 14 -05

Why the new EN approval procedure? ETSI is acting on the proposal from ETSI NSOs to improve the EN approval procedure on the basis of the following statement and arguments: ETSI supports the reform of the EU standardization system undertaken by the European Commission to make the standard making process more responsive. • To ensure that technical comments from NSOs will be considered by the ETSI TB (not only in the case of a negative vote as is the case with the current OAP). • To automatically select the shorter procedure if there are no technical comments. The TB is no longer required to predict if NSOs will comment. • To improve the quality of deliverables and speed up the production of non-critical documents. • To reduce the number of editions of ENs and of the associated procedures, which is particularly important in the case of Harmonized Standards needing to be published in the OJEU. © ETSI 2014 11 SEM 14 -05
