• There are three types of norms: national, regional, and international.
• National norms are developed and sanctioned by a recognized organization for national standardization, such as AENOR in Spain.
• Regional norms are developed by a regional standardization organization and typically cover a continental area, such as European norms developed by CEN and CENELEC.
• International norms are similar to regional norms but have a global scope, such as ISO norms.
• AENOR is the Spanish national standardization organization and a member of CEN, CENELEC, ISO, and CEI.
• A UNE norm is a technical specification developed with the participation of all interested parties and approved by AENOR.
• UNE norms are developed in technical committees for standardization, which go through preliminary work, development of the norm project, and public information.
• The public is informed of the existence of the norm project in the BOE.
• The observance of UNE norms is not mandatory.
• The purpose of standardization is to develop consistent and repeatable practices in various fields.
