NBN

At the heart of the Bureau for Standardisation (NBN) is a commitment to creating, using, gaining, and sharing knowledge to drive societal and economic progress. As the Belgian national organization for standardization, NBN plays a pivotal role in developing and promoting standards that ensure quality, safety, and interoperability across a multitude of sectors. The organization operates with a profound sense of responsibility, bringing together specialists from companies, organizations, governments, and educational institutions to collaborate on best practices that shape the future of industry and society.

NBN's culture is built on the pillars of knowledge and collaboration. 'Creating knowledge' involves orchestrating the development of standards in Belgium and ensuring they align with international goals, such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. 'Using knowledge' is facilitated through an advanced online standards platform that provides seamless access to a vast catalogue of documents tailored to organizational needs. 'Gaining knowledge' is supported by comprehensive training courses and e-learning modules designed to deepen expertise in management systems. Finally, 'Sharing knowledge' is a core strength, fostered through inspiration sessions, networking events, webinars, and seminars that welcome professionals to exchange insights and experiences. This holistic approach empowers Belgian companies to be competitive, sustainable, and innovative on a global scale.
