DIN

Abbreviation for Deutsches Institut für Normung

In short and in plain language

DIN is the German institute for standards.

It writes standards. They say what products and processes must meet in technical terms.

Sometimes its short name stands before a European or world standard. Then that standard also counts as German.

Firms often name such standards on their website. This shows their skills and ways of working.

Definition
DIN is the German Institute for Standardisation, which develops standards describing technical requirements for products and processes. When DIN precedes a European or international standard, it also applies as a German standard. Businesses often name such standards on their website to show qualifications and processes.
