Preserving France's capacity for influence

The new geopolitical landscape will also require tenacity. Faced with those disappointed by multilateralism and those who stand in the way of trade, we must reiterate that standardization will always be a positive-sum game, played by many, seeking consensus and preferring to avoid bilateral power struggles, write Guy Maugis, President of AFNOR, and Olivier Peyrat, Director General, in the preface to the activity report.

Efforts must also be maintained to continue defending France's influence on the international standardization stage. The 2025 edition of the International Standardization Barometer, which measures the volume of voluntary standardization work carried out by each country at ISO, IEC, CEN, and Cenelec, highlights the rise of China, which is positioning itself as a leader in strategic areas such as ports and logistics. At ISO, for the first time, the country ranks third as of December 31, 2024, which places France in fifth place.
