ETSI has been following the conventions of other standards organisations such as ISO, IEC, ITU, CEN and CENELEC, and the CEC stating that -ize shall be used when the suffix is added to create a verb from a stem which is a noun. This rule will remain unchanged but an important exception has been added. ETSI has decided to align with European Standardisation Regulation in their spelling of the term Harmonised Standard (spelled with "s" rather than "z").
This change will be applied from 21st May 2015 to all new drafts including document revisions.

Outside the context of the Standardization Regulation, the spelling rules remain as they are - "Harmonize" written with a "z".

For this reason the Harmonised Standard skeleton was updated accordingly and can be downloaded via the editHelp! website.
