Austrian Standards International – Standardization and Innovation (ASI) is the recognized standardization body in Austria, a non-profit service organization founded in 1920. It is part of a national, European and international standardization network: the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Austrian Standards International is bringing together stakeholders from different communities, bridging the gap between research, innovation and the market, enhancing the economic value and impact of research and innovation projects and serving as a channel for disseminating knowledge and innovation.

On European (CEN) and international (ISO) level, ASI regularly initiates and manages new standardization work and also participates on an ongoing basis in European R&I projects which involve significant standardization work.
