This side event examines how industrial standardisation, shared technical standards and mutual regulatory recognition – illustrated by the EPR experience – can secure supply, derisk fabrication and accelerate delivery of long-lead equipment. By qualifying equipment once and reusing evidence globally, stakeholders can unlock repeatability, trust, and efficiency across borders. Utilities, supply chain leaders and regulators will share practical lessons on qualifying components once and reusing the evidence worldwide, fostering trust, transparency and industrial efficiency. Delegations from embarking and expanding nuclear programmes will gain pragmatic insights into streamlining procurement, boosting capacity, and accelerating project delivery through smarter, shared standards. This event is organized by France.

This event will be held on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, from 3.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. in Conference Room CR1, C Building, second floor.
