Technical standards are developed by a panel of experts, within a technical committee in frame of various standardisation organisations. The most important are ISO and ESS - the European standardization system (ESS) comprises the three recognised European Standards Organisations (ESOs) - CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. There are many technical committees or subcommittees for evaluation and testing of corrosion and corrosion protection, for each type of corrosion protection (paint systems, metallic coatings, cathodic protection, vitreous coatings, conversion coatings, ...), e.g. ISO/TC 156, ISO/TC 107, ISO/TC 35, CEN/TC 139, CEN/TC 219, CEN/TC 240 and CEN/TC 262. In Czech Republic the activity of all these TC are covered by TNK 32. The paper presents the most important news in this technical standards' development during last 2 years. From their large number the most important standards (newly developed or significantly changed) are mentioned in details.
