Gregory's Server@honze_net If it is referenced as harmonised standard in EU law or regulations — yes. While the decision in this case is narrow as it is about 4 specific standards concerning toys and chemicals, it makes general statements on the connection between free access to law and referenced standards, so it should be a valid argument when EU law exists that references ISO 27001 as a harmonised standard.

 @honze_net The list of harmonised standards can be found at https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards_en If and in which one ISO27001 is specifically mentioned — that I don't know as I didn't check. @jwildeboer @leyrer "A harmonised standard is a European standard developed by a recognised European Standards Organisation: CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI." Sadly, the ISO-fish (and others) won't care what the european forest animals decide. @honze_net @jwildeboer This was already enforced by law though, and this decision seems to be about a case where adhering to the standard was required by law. So there's an explicit reference, hence the standard should be open. ISO 27001 practices are not required by law, it's most often a requirement of – and regulated by – industry partners. So there's no explicit reference that will open the standard to the public. @honze_net @jwildeboer Addendum: I just considered that I may be confusing EU law with Dutch laws, where this was already implemented like this here. If that's the case then applying it EU wide certainly seems great! |
@jwildeboer This is very good. Every citizen should be able to read those documents! Thanks for sharing!
