🚀 The SMART Project enters its second phase! The SMART project, an initiative to bring digital transformation and machine-readability into European standardization, is now moving into its second phase. This follows the successful launch of Phase 1, where the SMART tool supported drafting up to the Enquiry stage. In this next phase, SMART will expand capabilities so that standards can be drafted, reviewed and published entirely within the platform, supporting end-to-end digital workflows and enhancing clarity, structure and usability of standards for both drafters and users. This is an important step toward more modern, efficient and user-friendly standards, making it easier for stakeholders across industry, regulators and academia to implement and apply standards at scale.

EN IEC 60601-2-57:2026 - the European standard specifying essential safety and performance requirements for non-laser light source equipment used in medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring and cosmetic/aesthetic applications - has been published! This standard adopts the latest international text and adds European-specific annexes to align it with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), providing a clear pathway for manufacturers to demonstrate conformity in the EU market. 📌 Why it matters: • Sets up-to-date safety and performance requirements for devices using non-laser optical radiation (e.g., LED and other light sources). • Improves risk classification and hazard communication to protect patients and operators. • Harmonises European and international regulatory expectations, supporting wider market access.

🔎 When “Neutral” Isn’t Neutral: Why Standards Must Consider Gender 🚺 Many standards are developed with the assumption that a one‑size‑fits‑all approach works for everyone — but evidence shows this isn’t the case. What looks neutral on paper can, in fact, fail to protect women as effectively as men. 📉 From safety equipment designed around male body types to technologies calibrated without women’s input, standards that overlook gender can lead to real risks in everyday life. When gender is not actively considered in standard development, products and systems may work for some, but not for all. 💡💪 ⚠️ This isn’t just theory — it’s about health, safety, and inclusion in design and policy. 👉 To build standards that truly serve everyone, we must ensure gender perspectives are included from the start — in data, research, testing, and decision‑making. Standards matter. And so does inclusivity. Let’s work toward a future where both go hand in hand. 💬✨ Read the full article in the new issue of HesaMag (n°31): https://lnkd.in/euTuCCWJ #TrustStandards #Standards4all

🚨 “Neutral” standards ≠ safe for everyone! When gender isn’t considered, tools, equipment & tech designed for “default” users can put women at risk. 🚺
✅ We must ensure to include gender from day 1 — in research, testing & decisions. Standards should protect all users equally💡
