DIN and DKE have set up a new body, the central strategy group for standardization, to support their executive boards in responding to horizontal issues. In the view of DIN and DKE, examples of these issues include transformation trends, motivating stakeholders to recruit experts, strategic orientation at European and international level and the DIN/DKE innovation strategy.

The strategy group comprises a maximum of 25 members representing trade and industry, associations, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), companies, the scientific and research community and the standards committees. It is to meet at least twice a year. The DGUV and KAN are sending Mr Christoph Preuße of the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the woodworking and metalworking industries (BGHM) to the committee as the joint delegate for the occupational safety and health lobby. The inaugural meeting of the central strategy group for standardization was held on 16 April 2024.
