ETSI Drafting Rules (EDRs)

The drafting rules explain in detail how to structure and draft a document intended to become an ETSI standard. The ETSI Drafting Rules (EDRs) are part of the ETSI Directives  and you can download the ETSI Drafting Rules (EDRs) here. Along with the EDRs, please refer to "A Guide to writing World Class Standards" which will give you a complete view of the expectations asked from you.

The editHelp! team is here to help you with the drafting of your document by providing answers to your editing questions. The following links provide all sorts of necessary tools to get you started and help you in the overall drafting process:
