Standards Norway (Norwegian: Standard Norge, SN) is the main standards organization of Norway. It claims responsibility for all standardization areas except for electrotechnical and telecommunication issues. Standards Norway represents the country of Norway in CEN and ISO. Its headquarters are located at Lysaker.

OOXML controversy

In October 2008, the majority of Standards Norway's technical committee resigned in protest over Standards Norway's controversial decision to approve Microsoft's OOXML document format as an ISO standard. Despite the overwhelming majority of the technical committee rejecting OOXML, Standards Norway approved it anyway. A letter from the resigning members claimed that Standard Norway is "not fit to represent Norway at the ISO."[1]
