On 15 August 2023, Ronja Heydecke assumed responsibility for KAN's European Representation in Brussels. After completing a bachelor's degree in European legal linguistics and the German first state examination in law, Ms Heydecke worked for almost two years at the EU liaison office of the German Federal Chamber of Tax Advisers in Brussels, where she represented the interests of German tax advisers at EU level.

KAN's European Representation is one of its key instruments. At Brussels level and in conjunction with a number of different interest groups, it serves as the concerted voice of the German occupational safety and health lobby in the sphere of standardization. From its location in Brussels, it has the task of actively monitoring developments in European standardization policy, and also EU legislation where the latter impacts upon occupational safety and health and standardization.
