The new Technical Coordination Board (TCB) is intended to have a pivotal function at DIN between the strategy groups and the standards committees, and to support efficient coordination of standardization activity in line with DIN’s strategic objectives.

This will not be limited to setting out future key topics in standardization: the TCB is also to have the task of translating the targets defined by the DIN strategy groups into corresponding standardization work, for example by issuing recommendations and instructions for the standards committees. Finally, the work of the TCB is intended to support representation of German interests in European and international standardization activity.

The TCB’s first meeting was held on 28 November 2024. Corrado Mattiuzzo, Head of the KAN Secretariat’s Technical and Scientific Department, has been appointed to the TCB. The Technical Coordination Board is to have a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 21 members, who are appointed by the chairs of DIN’s standards committees.
