From 27 to 28 May 2026, EUROSHNET will be hosting the 9th European Conference on standardization, testing and certification in the field of occupational safety and health in Helsinki under the heading "Digital and green innovations – Shaping the future of occupational safety and health".

The world of work is transforming at an unprecedented pace. Climate change poses significant challenges for workplace safety, while digital transformation creates new opportunities for innovative solutions. Both developments also require reshaping our approach to occupational safety and health.

At the 9th EUROSHNET Conference, experts from across Europe are coming together to explore how standardization, testing and certification can evolve to meet these emerging realities. Sustainable products and new requirements are needed in order to mitigate the effects of climate change and implement a circular economy whilst at the same time ensuring the protection of workers. 

Digital transformation takes center stage with discussions on artificial intelligence applications in workplace safety, smart PPE and safe use of driverless vehicles. We will also discuss standards for tomorrow, next-generation testing and certification approaches, regulatory frameworks for emerging technologies, and best practices from across Europe.

Join the conference to hear from experts how standardization, testing and certification should respond to these fundamental changes and challenges from an OSH perspective and use this opportunity to network with colleagues from across Europe.
