We are a private, non-profit association that for over 100 years has been developing, publishing and disseminating the standards of our life: the voluntary technical standards.
In everything we do, we are always guided by a goal: to build, through standards, 'a world well made'.
Assembly, committees, colleges, councils, boards, President. To carry out its activities, UNI makes use of 8 specific governance bodies.
Standardisation, by its very nature, tends to eliminate any form of barrier, border, fence or division. Because the values ​​underlying each standard are universal.
We have been in work for 100 years. Look back on the most important milestones of an ever-changing world.
