UNE 1025 Standard
Introduction
The UNE regulatory documents (acronym for Una Norma Española) are a set of norms, experimental norms and reports (standards) created in the Technical Committees for Normalization (CTN) of the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE), formerly called AENOR.
UNE is a private non-profit association, legally recognized in Spain as a national standardization body in accordance with the provisions of the Infrastructure Regulation for Quality and Industrial Safety (Royal Decree 2200/1995[1]) and in Regulation (EU) 1025/2012 on European Standardization.[2].
There are three types of UNE normative documents, the Standards, the Experimental Standards and the Reports. Standards are a fundamental pillar of the Quality Infrastructure.
UNE Standards
Coding
UNE standards can be purely national documents or be adoptions of European or international documents. In the first case, they are numbered following a classification with the following general structure (example for UNE Standard 199191:2013).
Regulatory documents can form series, with various parts. They can also be published as standards, reports (IN) or experimental standards (EX). The following example shows a report that is part of a series of regulatory documents (example for Report UNE 199101-1:2013 IN):
In the case of adoption of European or international standards, the prefix UNE- is added to the coding, for example
Standard UNE-EN 15804:2012 is the national adoption of the European standard EN 15804:2012;
The UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 Standard is the national adoption of the European (EN) + international (ISO) 9001 standard. In the same way as in purely national standards, the suffix IN (reports) or EX (experimental standards) can be added, if applicable.
It is important to highlight that the publication date of the national standard (UNE) may not coincide with that of the European or international standard, due among other reasons to the deadline for its translation.
