What this law requires
Replace all references to 'small and medium-sized enterprises with fewer than 250 employees not dependent more than 25% on a group with more than 250 employees' with 'micro-enterprises as defined by article 3 of Decree No. 2008-1354 of December 18, 2008, which do not depend more than 25% on a group with more than 250 employees and which operate in the sector subject to the standardization work concerned'
Replace the terminology 'responsable ministériel aux normes' (ministerial official responsible for standards) with 'responsable ministériel à la normalisation' (ministerial official responsible for standardization) in all relevant provisions
Ensure that only micro-enterprises meeting the definition in Decree No. 2008-1354 of December 18, 2008 are eligible for standardization programs, rather than the previously broader category of SMEs
Verify that eligible micro-enterprises do not have more than 25% ownership or control by a larger group with more than 250 employees before granting standardization program participation
Confirm that eligible micro-enterprises operate in the specific economic sector that is the subject of the relevant standardization work
