The Italian Thermo-technical Committee (CTI) is a standardisation and research body affiliated to UNI (the Italian Standardisation Body) and is acknowledged by Ministry of Economic Development. CTI is assigned the responsibility to carry out standardisation activities in Italy for the various sectors of thermal energy production, distribution and utilisation. It benefits from the collaboration of private industries, public bodies, agencies and associations (around 400 experts in total) and operates in more than 70 national and international standardisation working-groups (ISO, CEN).
CTI also advises Italian Ministries (Economic Development, Environment, Agriculture/ Forestry) for the formulation and implementation of the laws, regulations and standards appropriate for an efficient energy deployment.
