| Zusammenfassung | The preparation of technical regulations is a complex, multidisciplinary and delicate task. Inadequate regulations may cause substantial economic, social and even political damage. Not all the required expertise for the elaboration of well-balanced technical regulations can be made available within the competent authorities. Thus, active participation by the potentially affected parties in the elaboration process is imperative. Furthermore, it is highly recommended to use the results of standardization work – by and for the interested parties – for the purposes of technical legislation. Nevertheless, the competent authority should remain in absolute control of the procedure at all times in order to do justice to its mission and responsibility. These and other aspects of the balancing act called "Elaboration of technical regulations" are discussed in the booklet at hand. In the context of Good Regulatory Practice, however, several important questions must be answered before the preparation of a specific item of technical legislation: Do we really need a regulation? What are the alternatives? And of course the work does not end with the issue of a regulation: How do we organise the implementation and the efficient enforcement of our technical legislation? These and similar issues are addressed as well. No set of guidelines to technical regulations can ever be complete and the booklet at hand is by no means exhaustive – nor was it meant to be. The aim of this publication is rather to provide food for thought and offer examples,which may trigger the wish to continually improve one’s own processes and instruments. We hope it will also contribute to keeping the dialogue and the exchange of experience between PTB, ITC and their partner institutions in the field of technical regulations and standards lively and relevant.
