Mission and values
The mission of Danish Standards is to strengthen the Danish society through the provision of our core services: standardisation, certification and the communication of knowledge and thereby to create value for our stakeholders.
Our stakeholders are our customers, employees and society in general.
Danish Standards is Denmark's national standardisation body and one of the leading certification enterprises in Denmark.
In addition, Danish Standards has been designated as the National Enquiry Point for the World Trade Organisation. The WTO Enquiry Point is the official information centre for international standards, certification schemes and regulations in Denmark.
As a non-profit organisation, it is important that we are of use to trade and industry as well as to society as such. Our joint mission is to:
- contribute to increasing Danish influence on European and international standards,
- further matters of importance to society, such as health, safety, environmental, consumer protection matters, through the inclusion of these themes in standardisation and certification work,
- develop, establish and administer certification, marking and control schemes,
- ensure that Danish enterprises have easy access to information about standards and certification.
