What it is
UNE (Asociación Española de Normalización) is Spain’s national standardisation body and the Spanish member of the European organisation CEN and the international body ISO. It develops Spanish standards (UNE) and publishes the Spanish adoptions of European (EN) and international standards.
Why it matters for compliance
Conformity in practice means applying the right standard, and UNE is where you access and buy the EN standards your product needs for the Spanish market. A standard’s legal weight comes from being harmonised (cited in the Official Journal) for the applicable legislation.
How to use it
- Find and purchase the relevant EN/UNE standards for your product.
- Confirm a standard is harmonised and current for the applicable legislation.
- Engage with standardisation through UNE committees where relevant.
Good to know
In Spain, market surveillance is shared between national bodies and the autonomous communities (CCAA), so the enforcement contact can vary by region and product type.
