About us
UNI – Italian Standards Body
We are a private, non-profit association that has been studying, developing, publishing and disseminating standards for over 100 years: voluntary technical standards.
UNI is a participatory centre where thousands of experts from all fields work in synergy with professionals, companies and consumers to create a large shared wealth of knowledge.
Standard
The magazine for a
well made world
STANDARD is UNI’s new magazine dedicated to the world of technical standards that improve our lives.
A new point of reference to understand how to build, day after day, a world well made. With one objective: to witness the value of standardisation.
STANDARDISATION
Standards are everywhere in our lives
The parquet floor, the children’s seat, the university lecture, the coffee pot. Standards improve the quality of our day: at work, at school, at home, in our free time.
In 100 years we have made more than 48,000 standards available.
Every day they have helped us to have better products, more effective services, more competent people, more efficient organisations. And they will continue to do so in the future.

UNI members have a privileged view on the world of standardisation. They are always up-to-date with the latest news, but above all they can personally contribute to the creation of standards by making their voice heard.
Associating with UNI offers many advantages. The most important is that of being able to sit at the table of those who draw up standards. And to participate as a protagonist in defining the rules of one’s own sector, without ever being subjected to the choices of others.

As an enthusiast deeply immersed in the world of standards and regulatory bodies, I bring to your attention the pivotal role of UNI, the Italian Standards Body, in shaping and enhancing the quality of our everyday lives. With a wealth of experience spanning over a century, UNI has been at the forefront of studying, developing, publishing, and disseminating voluntary technical standards.
UNI operates as a private, non-profit association, serving as a participatory center where thousands of experts from diverse fields collaborate with professionals, companies, and consumers. This synergy results in a vast shared wealth of knowledge, underlining the significance of UNI in fostering a world well made.
The focal point of UNI's recent initiative, "STANDARD," a dedicated magazine, provides a comprehensive insight into the world of technical standards that play a crucial role in improving our lives. With a commitment to building a well-made world, STANDARD serves as a reference point, highlighting the value of standardization and its impact on our daily experiences.
The influence of standards is pervasive, touching various aspects of our lives, from the parquet floor beneath our feet to the coffee pot we use every morning. UNI emphasizes that over the last 100 years, they have contributed over 48,000 standards, elevating the quality of products, services, people, and organizations. This legacy continues to shape a future where standards will play a pivotal role in fostering better products, more effective services, and efficient organizations.
UNI recognizes the importance of standards across different sectors, catering to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large corporations, professionals, self-employed workers, institutions, academia, and, most importantly, end consumers. Standards, UNI asserts, are not just tools for quality and efficiency but also valuable drivers of research, training, and progress.
For those seeking to actively engage with and contribute to the world of standardization, UNI provides a platform for participation. Members enjoy privileges such as staying abreast of the latest developments and actively contributing to the creation of standards, allowing them to define the rules of their respective sectors.
Furthering its commitment to knowledge dissemination, UNI operates UNITRAIN – the UNI Training Centre for knowing and applying standards. This center is tailored for technicians, managers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and consultants who seek to stay updated on the standards, practices, techniques, and laws relevant to their fields.
To facilitate easy access to standards, practices, courses, and subscriptions, UNI has established the UNI Store—an online shop available 24/7, 365 days a year. This platform enables individuals and organizations to consult the catalogue of existing standards, purchase specific standards or practices for their sectors, and subscribe to services that align with their needs.
In conclusion, UNI stands as a beacon of expertise and commitment to standards, actively shaping a well-made world through a century of dedicated work.
