The paper reports about the activities that the Italian Institute for Standards (UNI), Structural Engineering Committee, are performing to the aim of preparing a Technical Report containing standard guidelines for the design, installation, maintenance and operation of Structural Health Monitoring Systems for civil engineering structures. The Technical Report is being prepared by an ad hoc Working Group (WG 06) and will be soon completed. The Technical Report, described in some detail in the paper, is intended to be used as a guideline and standard reference for infrastructure owners, monitoring systems suppliers and structural engineers. It is expected that the availability of such document will encourage and improve SHM applications in the Country.
