Access to Technical Standards in Law: New Rules and Copyright Protection
This new act aims to facilitate public access to technical standards and norms incorporated into laws, while also protecting the copyrights of the organizations that create them. This means important information regarding safety or innovation will be more readily available, potentially leading to a better understanding and application of regulations in daily life.
Key points
Technical standards incorporated into law must be made publicly accessible online at no monetary cost, with searchable content.
The act seeks to balance public access to standards with the protection of copyrights for standards development organizations.
A study will be conducted on the financial impact of acquiring access to these standards for governments, to identify and address potential financial burdens.
