Empowering quality infrastructure in Spain

El trabajo conjunto de UNE, CEM y ENAC en normalización, metrología y acreditación y el lanzamiento de la web “Infraestructura de la calidad española”, buscan concienciar sobre la importancia de contar con una infraestructura de la calidad fuerte en España.

Potenciar la infraestructura de la calidad en España.

Ese es el principal objetivo del acuerdo que firmaron este mes de julio la Asociación Española de Normalización, UNE, el Centro Español de Metrología (CEM), y la Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC).

Se trata de un protocolo de colaboración para impulsar la infraestructura de la calidad en España, un elemento que contribuye a aumentar la competitividad de los sectores de actividad y del tejido económico e industrial español, así como a mejorar el funcionamiento efectivo del Mercado Interior de la UE y el acceso a mercados de terceros países.

A new system against cyberattacks on the electrical network. This is one of the latest big news that the hospital engineering and electrical safety sector has received.

The announcement came at the beginning of July and the protagonists have been the Energy Research Institute of Catalonia (Irec), together with the electricity distribution company Anell. Both have launched a pilot for a platform that helps prevent and mitigate cyberattacks on systems as critical as the electricity grid, and which could be replicated in other distribution networks, both nationally and internationally.
