Um Blockchain- und Distributed-Ledger-Technologien entstehen derzeit viele Projekte in unterschiedlichsten Branchen. Um eine branchenübergreifende Verständigung auf gemeinsamen Definitionen, Begriffe und einer Ontologie zu schaffen, benötigt es die Standardisierungsprozesse.
Blockchain- und Distributed-Ledger-Technologien stellen einen wichtigen Leistungsindikator für die Standardisierungsgremien und -organisationen weltweit dar. Auf internationaler, europäischer und nationaler Ebene arbeiten einige Gremien an Normen und Standards für Blockchain- und Distributed-Ledger-Technologie, von denen folgend einige aufgelistet werden.
Einen weiteren Überblick der Landschaft der Gremien, Initiativen und Standards liefert das Papier ETSI GR PDL 001 (extern).

Scope:
– to identify and analyse DLT-based applications and services;
– to draw up best practices and guidance which support the implementation of those applications and services on a global scale; and
– to propose a way forward for related standardization work in ITU-T Study Groups.
The IEEE Future Directions Committee, represented by the societies of the IEEE, has approved the formation of the IEEE Blockchain Initiative (BLK) effective January 1, 2018. The BLK will be the hub for all IEEE Blockchain projects and activities. The BLK encompasses a comprehensive set of projects and activities supported by the following core subcommittees: Pre/Standards, Education, Conferences and Events, Community Development and Outreach, Publications, and Special Projects.
Europäische Ebene
CEN/CLC/JTC 19 – Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
Preliminary scope: To prepare, develop and/or adopt standards for Blockchain and Distributed Ledger technologies covering the following aspects: – Organizational frameworks and methodologies, including IT management systems – Processes and products evaluation schemes – Blockchain and distributed ledger guidelines – Smart technology, objects, distributed computing devices, data services The JTC will focus on European requirements, especially in the legislative and policy context, and will proceed with the identification and possible adoption of standards already available or under development in other SDOs, which could support the EU Digital Single Market and/or EC Directives/Regulations. Special attention will be paid to ISO/TC 307 standards. If required these standards will be augmented by TRs and TSs.

Nationale Ebene
NA 043-02-04 AA – Blockchain und Technologien für verteilte elektronische Journale
Der NA 043-02-04 AA ist das deutsche Spiegelgremium in DIN zu ISO/TC 307 und CEN/CLC/JTC 19.
Scope: Der NA 043-02-04 AA “Blockchain und Technologien für verteilte elektronische Journale” spiegelt auf nationaler Ebene die Aktivitäten des internationalen Technischen Komitees ISO/TC 307 “Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies”. Auf europäischer Ebene spiegelt der NA 043-02-04 AA die Arbeiten des CEN/CLC JTC 19 „Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies“. Die Einbringung der deutschen Interessen in die europäische und internationale Normung wird im NA 043-02-04 AA als das Hauptanliegen gesehen.
DKE/AK 901.0.5 – Energy Blockchain
Der DKE/AK 901.0.5 „Energy Blockchain” ist eine Expertengruppe, die die praktischen Anwendungen der Blockchain Technologie untersucht und die Erkenntnisse in die nationalen und internationalen Expertengruppen der Normung einbringt.
