#ANEC30

ANEC turns 30 this year
In 2025, ANEC marks its 30th anniversary of representing the interests of European consumers in technical standardisation and related legislation. Since 1995, we have worked to ensure that standards and legislation protect and benefit all consumers regardless of age or ability. To celebrate this milestone, we held a special ANEC General Assembly in June 2025.

What we do for you
Few people are interested in technical standardisation and even fewer have heard of ANEC. Yet, although standardisation may not seem at all sexy at first glance, it is an essential component of modern life and the role of ANEC is key.
