About SNV
The SNV defends the interests of business and society in Switzerland and works for their benefit.
As a direct representative of global and European standardization efforts (through the ISO and CEN respectively), the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV) is Switzerland's
interface with various other national and international standards networks.
In this capacity, the SNV performs key liaison functions between the experts of standardization and the users of standards in the SNV's areas of activity.
The SNV

promotes self-regulation
The SNV's main activity is standardization. National, European and international standards are developed in co-operation with users. This process is to ensure that the
standards will generate permanent benefits. At the same time, it is aimed at abolishing unnecessary regulations and preventing meaningless ones. The offer of standardization work
is addressed both to the world of technology and the services sector.

Professional standardization is based on internationally recognized processes. Self-regulation can be a sensible complement to legislation only if it is in agreement with
these processes. Proper handling of standardization business calls for skills and experience. This is precisely what the SNV makes available to Swiss business, society and
politics.
