The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a nonprofit organization established in 1961 with 33 member countries. Its mission is to develop standards to support the European single market and global trade. Over 60,000 technical experts contribute to CEN standards. CEN works closely with CENELEC for electrotechnical standards and ETSI for telecommunications, and its standards are recognized by the European Union. CEN standards promote trade, safety, interoperability and more across Europe.

members aliates partner standardisation bodies The European Committee for Standardization (CEN, French: Comit Europen de Normalisation) is a non- prot organisation whose mission is to foster the Euro- pean economy in global trading, the welfare of European citizens and the environment by providing an ecient infrastructure to interested parties for the development, maintenance and distribution of coherent sets of stan- dards and specications. The CEN was founded in 1961. Its thirty three na- tional members work together to develop European Standards (ENs) in various sectors to build a European internal market for goods and services and to position Europe in the global economy. CEN is ocially recog- nised as a European standards body by the European Union; the other ocial European standards bodies are the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standard- ization (CENELEC) and the European Telecommunica- tions Standards Institute (ETSI). [1][2] More than 60,000 technical experts as well as business federations, consumer and other societal interest organ- isations are involved in the CEN network that reaches over 460 million people. CEN is the ocially rec- ognized standardisation representative for sectors other than electrotechnical (CENELEC) and telecommunica- tions (ETSI). On 12 February 1999 the European Par- liament noted in a resolution that CEN, CENELEC and ETSI co-operate smoothly and that a merger of the three standardisaton bodies would not have clear advantages. [3] The standardisation bodies of the thirty national members represent the twenty seven member states of the Euro- pean Union, three countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and countries which are likely to join the EU or EFTA in the future. CEN is contributing to the objectives of the European Union and European Economic Area with technical standards (EN standards) which promote free trade, the safety of workers and consumers, interoperability of networks, environmental protection, exploitation of research and development pro- grammes, and public procurement. An example of mandatory standards are those for materials and products used in construction and listed under the Construction Products Directive. The CE mark is a declaration by the manufacturer that a product complies with the respective EU directive and hence the harmonized standard(s) ref- erenced by the directive(s). CEN (together with CENELEC) owns the Keymark, a voluntary quality mark for products and services. Aprod- uct bearing the Keymark demonstrates conformity to Eu- ropean Standards. 1 Membership The current CEN Members are all member states of the European Union; three of the EFTA members: Iceland, Norway, Switzerland; and other states: Macedonia, Turkey. [4] The current aliates are Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Montenegro, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia and Ukraine. [5] The current partner standardisation bodies are Australia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan. [6] 2 The Vienna Agreement The Vienna Agreement was signed by CEN and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1991 but came in force in the mid-2000s. Its primary aim 1 2 5 EXTERNAL LINKS is to avoid duplication of (potentially conicting) stan- dards between CEN and ISO. In the last decade CEN has adopted a number of ISO standards which replaced the corresponding CEN standards. [7] 3 See also CENELEC is the European Committee for Elec- trotechnical Standardization.
