Committee / Working Group |
IoT, Data exchange, AI |
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) established the new Technical Committee on Data Solutions (TC DATA) in February 2025. The committee's mission is to develop technical standards and specifications for distributed data infrastructures, services, and applications, with a strong focus on supporting European data regulations like the EU Data Governance Act and the data-related aspects of the EU AI Act. ETSI’s TC DATA aims to promote responsible data sharing, enhance privacy and security, and drive innovation in relevant data intensive technologies -namely advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. With the proliferation of AI and in turn, agentic AI applications, means data sharing patterns become more complex and require open infrastructures to address unprecedented interoperability requirements. Data representation and availability, data access control, data consistency and data privacy preservation are all fundamental aspects that need to be considered as data volumes and the need for cross-sector data sharing soars. |

ETSI Standards (ES) are formal technical documents from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) containing mandatory technical requirements, approved by ETSI's full membership after committee review, ensuring interoperability and compliance for telecommunications and ICT, covering areas like 5G, DECT, and IoT security. Unlike faster-approved Technical Specifications (TS) or Guides (EG), ES documents undergo a broader approval process for widespread adoption, often forming the basis for European regulations and providing essential details for product conformity in the EU market. Other countries such as the US also use ESTI Standards. |

IoT |
IEEE serves as the gathering place for the global technical community working on the Internet of Things (IoT), as demonstrated by the many ongoing activities of the IEEE Internet of Things Initiative. The IEEE IoT Initiative provides the platform where professionals learn, share knowledge, and collaborate on the sweeping convergence of technologies, markets, applications, and the Internet. The success of IoT depends strongly on standardization, which provides interoperability, compatibility, reliability, and effective operations on a global scale. |

| Rolling Plan for ICT stadadisation |

Document on technical specification / Standards |
IoT |
Rolling Plans have occurred 2022-2025 and are reveiwed and updated each year. The Rolling Plan for ICT standardisation is a working document published by the European Commission, taking into account the inputs from the expert group “European Multi-Stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation”. It is complementary to the Annual Union Work-Programme, formal document adopted by the Commission that identifies the strategic priorities of standardisation. The Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation provides a unique bridge between EU policies and standardisation activities concerning information and communication technologies (ICT). This helps to increase convergence of standards makers’ efforts towards achieving EU policy goals. This document is the result of an annual dialogue involving a wide-range of interested parties as represented by the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation (MSP). The Rolling Plan focuses on actions that can support EU policies and does not claim to be as complete as the work programmes of the different standardisation bodies. Standardisation actions identified in this document to support EU policies are complementary to other instruments, in particular the Annual Union Work Programme (AUWP). The Rolling Plan attempts to list all known areas where ICT standardisation could support EU policy objectives. It also details the requirements for ICT standardisation, translates them into actions and provides a follow-up mechanism for the actions. |

Iot, Data Exchange particulary in the water field, water mangement. raw water, drinking water, storm water, and waste water. |
SAREF4WATR focuses on extending SAREF in order to create a common core of general concepts for water data oriented to the IoT field. The main idea is to identify the core components, that could be extended for particular water subdomains, for example, for water supply. Also aimed at enhancing interoperability in IoT applications related to water management. |

Public Sector IoT, Data exchange |
The Data Act is designed to empower users — both consumers and businesses — by giving them greater control over the data generated by their connected devices, such as cars, smart TVs, and industrial machinery. It lays the foundation for a fair, innovative, and competitive European data economy. In more detail: Rules enabling public sector bodies to access and use data held by the private sector for specific public interest purposes. For instance, public sector bodies will be able to request data necessary to help them respond quickly and securely to a public emergency, with minimal burden on businesses. |

The EU Data Governance Act (DGA) (Regulation (EU) 2022/868), effective 2023, is an EU framework to boost data sharing and use by creating trust, increasing data availability, and supporting data-driven innovation, focusing on reusing protected public data, regulating neutral data intermediaries, and promoting voluntary data altruism (sharing data for the public good). It sets rules for reusing sensitive public sector data, establishes neutrality requirements for data sharing services (like data marketplaces), and introduces a framework for recognized data altruism organizations, working alongside the GDPR to build a single European data market. |
