EAA Supports the Transition to FINA25: Enabling DIN’s Standardization Work

Fri 17 Jan 2025

The EAA is proud to contribute to the financing of key DIN workgroups under the newly launched FINA25 financial model. Effective from January 1, 2025, FINA25 introduces a revised funding framework for participation in standardization activities within DIN’s national committees and in CEN and ISO secretariats managed by DIN.

This significant step ensures greater transparency and predictability in the financing of standardization work, allowing stakeholders to plan and collaborate effectively while addressing evolving economic and organizational conditions. Through FINA25, DIN aims to secure the long-term sustainability of its standardization activities, reinforcing the competitiveness of the industry and supporting innovation.

The EAA is particularly pleased to provide financial support for the following DIN-led technical committees and subcommittees:

  • CEN/TC 211 Acoustics
  • ISO/TC 43 Acoustics
  • ISO/TC 43/SC 1 Noise
  • ISO/TC 43/SC 2 Building Acoustics

By contributing to these essential workgroups, the EAA reaffirms its commitment to advancing the science and applications of acoustics while fostering collaboration within the international acoustics community.

The EAA applauds this forward-looking initiative and remains dedicated to supporting efforts that strengthen the future of acoustics standardization.
