The Standards Roadshow is organised by the Cyprus Organisation for Standardisation (CYS) for the professionals of the oil & gas industry.

This Roadshow is designed to provide professionals of oil & gas companies, national authorities, service providers, the supply industry and rule-making authorities, with the opportunity to broaden their understanding of the International Standardisation activities for this globally important industry sector.

The Roadshow will review and discuss the International as well as the National standardisation work, the role of the authorities, industry and standardisation bodies in the ongoing standardisation activities. It will explore experiences within other countries and regions of adopting such standards for the oil & gas sector, including the challenges facing harmonisation of company and local standards with International Standards.

The Standards Roadshow is open to the public, with admission granted only to people who have completed the registration process.
