Who Takes the Lead in Developing European Standards?

CEN and CENELEC, the National Members, work together to establish European Standards and other outputs across different sectors. The goal is to enhance Europe's international economic standing by eliminating trade obstacles and supporting the European domestic market. The development of European Standards is guided by principles such as agreement, transparency, national dedication, and technical consistency. With a vast network of over 200,000 experts from various fields, including industry, associations, public administrations, academia, and societal organizations, CEN and CENELEC reach over 600 million individuals.

What is the Process of Developing European Standards?

At CEN and CENELEC, the responsibility for directing work that could lead to a European Standard lies with members like the CEN National Standardization Bodies and the CENELEC National Committees. However, suggestions can come from anyone. Sometimes, the European Commission or other stakeholders may also make requests. The process involves willing members of CEN and CENELEC who are assigned to a Technical Committee in the relevant field. National work on the same topic is put on hold during this time. National stakeholders also contribute to the standard's development through mirror committees. Technical Committees include observers from various organizations, such as ISO/IEC members, European Commission/EFTA, and external industry associations.
