ABSTRACT
Standardisation is a voluntary cooperation among industry, consumers, public authorities and other interested parties for the development of technical specifications based on consensus. Standardisation complements market-based competition, typically in order to achieve objectives such as the interoperability of complementary products/services, to agree on test methods and on requirements for safety, health and environmental performance. Industrial workshops have been co-organised with project and the European Commission in order to feed back Internet of Things (IoT) standardisation activities conducted by industrial stakeholders into EC funded projects. The main tasks in the standardisation activities will be the integration of different vertical including their communication standards and the definition of clear interoperability methods. Interoperability of IoT devices based on open standards will be required to meet the vision of IoT. IERC and its participating projects are seen as a catalyst and an European IoT coordination platform facilitating international world-wide dialog.
