NORMAPME

NORMAPME or European Office of Crafts, Trades and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises for Standardisation was created in 1996 by UEAPME with the support of the European Commission. The German name is: Europäisches Büro des Handwerks und der Klein- und Mittelbetriebe für Normung.

NORMAPME participated in the standardisation process on behalf of SMEs and is an associate member of CEN, ISO, CENELEC & ETSI.

NORMAPME has been suspended earlier to the delegates meeting of EMU (European Metal Union) 19 September 2013 in Austria.
