DIN in the World
DIN, the German Institute for Standardization, is the gateway to global standardization. DIN’s goal is to develop standards that have validity worldwide. These help remove technical barriers to trade and add to the exporting strength of German industry. DIN represents German national interests in Europe and throughout the world. Participation in standards work at DIN gives German experts access to decision-making processes in supranational standards committees.
