DIN-Norms

Standards developed by the German Institute of Standardization (DIN, Deutsches Institut für Normung) are widely accepted in Germany, although they are not legally binding themselves. DIN coordinates its activities with and represents Germany in international bodies of standardization, i.e. CEN (European Committee for standardization) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
DIN provides its own or German representations of international standards which business partners may chose to agree upon, some standards are used as references in laws and regulations. Having started in the technical field, nowadays DIN develops more and more standards for services. Standards are available from the DIN-Institute through its online database.
