Abstract

The chapter tries to provide the information that potential standards-setters should consider when selecting a standards setting body (SSB). It proposes classifications of both standards users and SSBs. The former focuses on users’ strategies and business models, the latter describes SSBs’ characteristics in different categories. The SSB that yields the best match should be given some preference, as it is likely to offer the most successful platform for the envisaged standardisation activity.
