AFNOR Group presents its 2015 retrospective
At the AFNOR association’s general meeting on Wednesday June 22 in Paris, the AFNOR group presented its activity report for 2015, marked by the rollout of the new version of the ISO 9001 and 14001 international voluntary standards.
On Wednesday June 22, the AFNOR association held its annual general meeting in Paris, chaired by Claude Satinet and attended by Olivier Peyrat, CEO of the AFNOR group. The meeting coincided with the publication of the association’s activity report for 2015, in which each of the four business lines (standardization, publishing, training, certification) presents its highlights, all declaring the new version of the ISO 9001 and 14001 voluntary standards as a highlight.
The AFNOR association ended the year at breakeven, with sales of €64.2 million excluding ministerial subsidies (the latter continuing to decline, to €7.8 million in 2015) and total income of €84.5 million. The AFNOR group, which backs up the activities of the commercial subsidiaries with the association’s public-interest activities, posted net income of €2.8 million, on sales of €154.8 million (again excluding subsidies and other income).
An anniversary year (the 90th anniversary of AFNOR, an association founded in 1926), 2016 sees the start of a new period for AFNOR, with the publication of the French standardization strategy 2016-2018. A key document offering a panoramic view of the challenges facing voluntary standardization players, which we will reveal in a forthcoming news article.
