ANEC, the European consumer voice in standardisation, informs us that the new standard EN 17984-3 “Assistance dogs – Part 3: Competencies for assistance dog professionals” has been approved.
The ballot delivered a unanimous outcome, with sixteen CEN members voting in favour of adoption and none against. This represents 100 per cent approval, well above the required thresholds of 55 per cent of members and 65 per cent of the weighted population.
As also at the Enquiry stage, ANEC supported approval of the standard.
See the CEN standards site for more information on what this entails in detail.
