This CEPS In-Depth Analysis examines the role, state of play and future prospects of standardisation of critical raw materials (CRM) from an EU perspective.
It begins with an overview of the key benefits and actors in both the EU and global technical standardisation system.
It then maps key recent developments and initiatives in CRM standardisation, in the EU and globally. Drawing on consultations with experts, it identifies three fundamental risks and challenges: the limited participation of EU stakeholders and experts, specific content gaps in recycling and traceability, and a highly fragmented ESG standardisation landscape.
Lastly, it provides policy recommendations to help address these challenges and enhance the EU’s role in CRM standardisation.
