DIRECTOR GENERAL’S LETTER
Welcome to the CEN-CENELEC Annual Report 2019!
2019 was an impactful year: the renewed EU institutional setting, the whirling trade discussions
and Brexit have presented all organisations and businesses with new challenges and
opportunities. Digitalisation and innovation have imposed themselves as a new constant in our
daily lives: change is the new normal. Furthermore, the global coronavirus pandemic, with its
heavy toll on lives, societies and economies, has shown how urgent it is for all organisations
to become resilient and adaptable to sudden changes. This situation provided even more
evidence of the essential role that standards play in protecting citizens and providing safe and
innovative market solutions.
In this context, CEN and CENELEC worked intensely to ensure that the European Standardization
System (ESS) is fit to the evolving needs of society and industry. A few figures reflect the impact
of our efforts: in 2019, CEN and CENELEC published together 1655 standards (1164 by CEN
and 491 by CENELEC). Improving the quality of our data has also been a priority: a big share
of standardization work is data management, and standards are as good as the data provided!
CEN and CENELEC also continue their race to embrace digitalisation. For this reason, in
2019 we kicked off two pilot projects with the construction and petroleum sectors to develop
machine-interpretable and digital standards.
Boosting Innovation Through Standards is a driving force for CEN and CENELEC: our objective
is to foster European competitiveness in the global economy by supporting innovation and
integrating standardization with research. The high-level conference we hosted in November
with the launch of the first edition of the Standards+Innovation awards was another step in
the right direction. Nevertheless, a lot still remains to be done: we will keep up our hard work,
continuing to engage with the research community.
3 109 DIRECTOR GENERAL’S LETTER
Furthermore, the European elections brought forward new leaders with renewed ambitions
for Europe. As shown in our Declaration ‘Standards Build Trust’, CEN and CENELEC are
committed to contributing to a well-functioning Internal Market. We are especially engaged
in standardization activities at the heart of the European economy and society such as
cybersecurity and AI, the energy transition (in the framework of the Green Deal) and the New
Industrial Strategy, always maintaining users at the centre. In this, we also look forward to
continuing working together with ETSI, our fellow European Standardization Organisation.
Reducing compliance costs and administrative burdens while preserving the public interest and
fostering competition is one of the great assets of the New Legislative Framework. CEN and
CENELEC understand the importance of the timely citation of harmonised standards (hENs) to
simplify conformity assessment processes and foster innovation. Therefore, one of our main
priorities in 2019 was to ensure the high quality of standards submitted for citation. We look
forward to continuing our collaboration with the European Commission in order to provide the
market with clear and state-of-the-art standards.
The relationship with ISO and IEC, the officially recognised International Standardization
bodies, is also a core aspect of our work: with them, we share the ambition of facilitating trade
through an effective global standardization system based on the national delegation principle.
The increasing rate of international standards adopted at European level (with, for instance,
61% of CEN standards on healthcare and 57% on services identical to ISO ones, and 79%
of CENELEC’s identical or based on IEC ones) and the outstanding contribution of European
experts to international standardization work testify our fruitful cooperation.
Such a positive experience deserves to be shared with other actors in the world: in October,
during the IEC General Meeting in Shanghai, we organised a workshop which attracted more
than 200 participants on the importance of a public–private partnership and the primacy of
international standards to support a market economy.
We also strived to expand our international network of stakeholders: LIBNOR, the Lebanese
Standards Institution, joined us as a new CEN Companion Standardization Body. I am also very
proud of the new sixteen technical liaisons organisations we welcomed and of the partnership
agreements we established with organisations such as E.DSO and EPO.
4 109 DIRECTOR GENERAL’S LETTER
Finally, as part of our ambition to adapt to an ever-changing global environment, in 2019 we

started a collective reflection on our future ‘Strategy 2030’.
All our achievements would have been impossible without the commitment of a wide array of
professionals. I would like to express my gratitude to the Presidents, Vice-Presidents and Board
Members of CEN and CENELEC; Members, Affiliates and Companion Standardization Bodies;
Partner and Liaison Organisations; Advisors and all the experts participating in our Technical Bodies;
and, wholeheartedly, to the staff of the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre, a hardworking,
motivated and enthusiastic team.
In a fast-changing world, it is the strength of our community that allows us to look with optimism
to the future and realise our ambition to provide a well-functioning European standardization
system.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
In 2019, CEN and CENELEC established the Strategic
Advisory Group on Digital and Information Technology
(DITSAG) to provide coordinated advice with a
comprehensive and forward-looking approach on all
aspects related to the digital and IT (DIT) implementation
of the CEN-CENELEC Strategy. The focus of the strategic
group includes the monitoring of all DIT projects and
the identification of priorities, resources and budgetary
implications to enable informed Administrative Boards
decisions.
Through its composition and representation, DITSAG

has the capacity to provide advice and guidance on
technical and non-technical matters related to digital and
IT applications.
PROJECT 1: ONLINE STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT

Project 1 aims to support the modernisation and digital
transformation of the standards development in CEN
and CENELEC. In 2019, it essentially concentrated its
efforts on the ‘Online Collaborative Authoring’ platform.
This project, carried-out jointly with ISO and IEC, will
offer a high-end and tailored authoring environment to
CEN and CENELEC technical bodies, but will also set the
foundations for developing ‘standards of the future’. 2019
was dedicated to the assessment of technology and to
the preparation of the pilot phase, which is expected to
start in 2020.

INNOVATION & RESEARCH

The CEN-CENELEC Strategic Innovation Plan has two
interconnected objectives: helping European researchers
and innovators to succeed in market penetration, and
further integrating standardization and research, in order
to keep Europe competitive in the global economy.
Standardization can play an incentive role in helping
innovative ideas to reach the market faster and, at the
same time, contribute to a trustful and transparent
innovation process.
Since the role of European standardization in facilitating
market access for innovative ideas may not be evident to
all researchers and inventors, the plan aims to introduce
standardization to researchers as an asset in support of
their career progression and a handy tool for the successful
market entry of their products or services.
To that effect, a website pointing to a series of success
stories and facilitating the interaction between the research
and innovation community and the CEN and CENELEC
members was launched:
www.standardsplusinnovation.eu
As a concrete expression of appreciation to those
researchers and innovators who actively use
standardization in support of their market entry ambitions,
and following the example of several of their national
members, in 2019 CEN and CENELEC announced for
the first time a number of Standards+Innovation awards:

BLOCKCHAIN AND DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGIES

In 2019, the CEN and CENELEC Focus Group on Blockchain
and Distributed Ledger Technologies has continued to gather,
analyse and evaluate specific use cases in Europe. The Focus
Group formalised liaisons with Blockchain and DLT groups in
ETSI and in ITU-U. Moreover, the Focus Group continued to
promote its White Paper on the specific European requirements
for the uptake of Blockchain and DLT technologies in Europe.
This White Paper has also been the basis to create a consensus
among European stakeholders for the creation of CEN-CLC/
JTC 19 ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies’,
which has been approved by the Technical Boards in 2019. The
JTC will work in support to the activities of ISO/307 and will look
at particular European requirements, notably for Cybersecurity
and personal identification.
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) are promising new

developments in ICT for sharing data and managing transactions in a controlled
manner. The use of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies continues
to grow rapidly, with applications and systems being developed, notably in the
context of the Industry 4.0, hence creating a need for standardization.
IPR & PATENTS

In 2019, CEN and CENELEC updated the CEN-CENELEC
Guide 8 on the Common Patent Policy. This ensures that
there is an appropriate framework in place to enable an
open and transparent standard development process,
and to improve the quality of the information available to
standards users. As part of the revision, CEN and CENELEC
also addressed relevant aspects raised by the European
Commission in its November 2017 Communication on
‘Setting out the EU approach to Standard Essential Patents
(SEPs)’, and contributed in relevant European Commission
experts groups and panel discussions.
Furthermore, CEN and CENELEC performed in 2019 an

in-depth legal analysis with regard to the protection of the
IPR of the digital standards content. This exercise aims to
address the legal implications from the transition to machine
readable/interpretable content and aspects related to open
source and online standards authoring platforms.
CEN and CENELEC position on IPR & Patents
EUROPEAN STANDARDS FOR THE SINGLE MARKET

It was in light of these new appointments that CEN and
CENELEC increased their efforts to be able to reach out
to the new elected members of the institutions, with the
hope that these efforts would continue a strong public-
private partnership between the European Commission
(EC), EFTA, CEN and CENELEC.
The ability to have a strong relationship with these
organisations allows standardization to properly support
the implementation of European regulations and its
policies. Such partnership includes the timely citation
of harmonised European Standards (hENs) that support
specific regulations and policies in the Official Journal of
the EU (OJEU), a key tool for European businesses to be
able to operate competitively within the Single Market.
These efforts were then concentrated into the five
Declaration points: a harmonised single market, trust in
new technology, enhanced innovation for Europe, support
for the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030
Agenda, and the boost to a competitive European industry
ready to lead in international trade.
These messages worked as the building blocks to develop
the European Policy Hub’s Brussels Arm and further

Forum (IAF) and included a five-month communications

CEN and CENELEC’s Declaration

‘Standards build trust’
#TrustStandards: Standards Build Trust

CEN and CENELEC announced their Declaration for the 2019-2024 EU term in April 2019, by designating five
pillars, each with the scope of how standards play a role as a tool for policy makers to achieve their objectives
in innovation, new technology, the single market, sustainability and international trade.
The slogan, #TrustStandards, was turned into a 5-month promotional campaign and outreach to the new
members of the EU institutions, as a welcoming message and introduction into the standards community. The
hope with this Declaration is that new appointments to the European Commission and European Parliament
understand how standards define good practices for Europe and allow for both a pan-European and inclusive
voice for European industry.
Joint Initiative on Standardization (JIS)

In 2019 the Joint Initiative on Standardization (JIS) concluded its activities. The JIS outcomes were
officially presented at the High-Level Conference on European standardization on 7 June 2019, organised
in Bucharest under the umbrella of the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU. To that purpose,
a leaflet was published and distributed that highlighted the main highlights of this initiative: the objective,
the organisation of the work, the main achievements and the recommendations for the future based on
the lesson learnt. The leaflet aims to serve as a guidance for the new MEPs and European Commission’s
cabinet and officers on future standardization policies.
In parallel, for each of the 15 Actions, a detailed description was drafted under the coordination of the JIS
Actions leaders. The description includes the objectives, the milestones and the achievements (all documents
available on the EC page dedicated to the JIS: https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/36321). European Policy Hub
For CEN and CENELEC and their Members the key learning points can be summarised as follows: In October 2018, CEN and CENELEC launched

‘Stakeholder Group’ of the EC platform for better regulation (REFIT)

REFIT is part of the European Commission’s better regulation agenda, making sure that EU legislation delivers its intended benefits for citizens, businesses and society
while removing red tape and lowering costs. CEN and CENELEC contribute to the REFIT Stakeholder Group and where relevant, providing input on standardization
to the opinions issued by REFIT. To highlight the work undertaken by REFIT and look ahead to 2020, Business Europe hosted at the beginning of December 2018 a
‘Better Regulation – make it happen’ roundtable discussion, which CEN and CENELEC participated to.
IMPROVING THE PROCESS OF CITATION OF HARMONISED STANDARDS IN THE OJEU

CEN and CENELEC have made huge efforts to reduce
the number of harmonised standards (hENs). Reducing
a backlog of about 600 standards in early 2017 to about
410 at the end of 2019 was only possible thanks to the
fruitful cooperation between technical experts, HAS
Consultants, and all involved stakeholders. It has to be
noted the current ‘backlog’ is mainly composed of new
references, that are pending acceptance for citation, but
for which the ESOs have made all efforts to have them in
line with the EC's requirements.
In 2019, CEN and CENELEC installed a benchmarking

process – as part of the KPIs agreed with the EC - to
ensure that draft standards, before being submitted to
the HAS Consultant, are of good quality. Technical Bodies
are encouraged to ensure that HAS Consultants are
involved at the earliest possible stage of the standards
development process to ensure that their drafts comply
with the stringent requirements for future citation.
At the end of 2019, 88% of the active CEN and CENELEC

catalogue intended for citation was cited in the Official
Journal (88% CEN, 86% CENELEC).
In September 2017, the European Commission (EC) and the ESOs agreed to the Action
Plan ‘Structural solutions to decrease the stock of non-cited harmonised standards’.
One of the short-term actions was the decision by the EC to install a new system
to improve the support from the New Approach Consultants: the HAS Consultants
system.
GLOBAL OUTREACH
Following the CEN and CENELEC’s exercise of prioritising
foreign partnerships carried out in 2018, 5 priority
partners were identified: ARSO and AFSEC (Africa), SAC
(China), GSO (Gulf Region), BIS (India) and JISC (Japan).
CEN and CENELEC created dedicated Task Forces and
in 2019 implemented a first Annual Action Plan, one per
Task Force, engaging their respective partners in many
activities. Some examples of the initiatives taken are
mentioned in the next page.
Furthermore, in 2019, the SESEC IV (China) and

SESEI IV (India) projects, both funded by the European
Commission, EFTA, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI, worked
closely with Task Forces China and India, and brought
valuable intelligence and analysis of China’s and India’s
standardization developments. These projects share the
success of the European Standardization model to provide
intelligence on standards-related matters and facilitate
bilateral cooperation, supporting European companies in
accessing foreign markets.
In 2019, CEN and CENELEC also concluded a

Memorandum of Understanding with CROSQ (CARICOM
Regional Organisation for Standards and Quality) aiming
to support the development of the single market in that
region, based on the European New Approach. Also, CEN
and CENELEC renewed their Cooperation Agreement with
The international cooperation activities of CEN and CENELEC aim to fully develop the SCC (Standards Council of Canada) aiming to support the
role of standards in helping European businesses boost their competitiveness on the implementation of the CETA (EU-Canada Comprehensive

CEN and CENELEC give priority to the development and adoption of international
standards, as the collaboration with ISO and IEC through the Vienna (with ISO) and
Frankfurt (with IEC) agreements shows. Moreover, CEN and CENELEC cooperate with
other standardization bodies worldwide.

PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Task Force China kicked off its Strategy Dialogue with SAC, China’s Standards Body, with the objective to support its further engagement
in the governance of international standardization. A workshop to explain the European Standardization System to Chinese stakeholders as a
Public-Private Partnership (Better Regulation), which saw the attendance of 200 participants, also took place during the IEC General Meeting
in Shanghai on 23 October 2019. CEN-CENELEC also launched a cooperation with China Standardization Press to promote CEN-CENELEC
publications in the Chinese language and market.
In Task Force Japan, CEN, CENELEC and JISC continued their successful technical cooperation in the form of observerships in Technical
Committees and through the establishment of Joint Working Groups in the support of international standardization work. Additional topics,
such as 3D printing, service robots and smart cities, were proposed by different stakeholders for technical cooperation between CEN-CENELEC
and JISC.
Task Force India coordinated input coming from CEN and CENELEC into BIS’ Standardization National Action Plan. In November 2019, CEN
and CENELEC, in coordination with the SESEI project, organised a BIS-CEN-CENELEC workshop in New Delhi on “Emerging Challenges in new
era of standardization”. The event gathered 90 participants and focussed on sharing best practices on how to develop a faster and more efficient
standardization process and on the benefits of increasing participation at the international level.
Task Force Africa discussed with ARSO and AFSEC on how CEN and CENELEC could best contribute to the implementation of the African
Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), one of the first steps being to provide ARSO and AFSEC with direct access to CEN and CENELEC
standards for review, subject to a specific agreement which was concluded in September and October 2019.
Task Force Gulf engaged with GSO on several topics allowing technical cooperation between European and Gulf experts with a view to further
align their standards and standardization systems. Also, a workshop was held from 9 to 11 September 2019 in Kuwait to explain to GSO and its
members the benefits of the Vienna and Frankfurt Agreement for the European industry.

Since 2014, CEN and CENELEC have regularly organised a series of
Stakeholder Engagement Workshops in order to connect with
industry, hear their feedback and concerns and identify together suitable
standardization solutions at European or international level. In 2019, two
Stakeholder Engagement Workshops were organised, tackling technical
and strategic issues, identifying standardization gaps and policy issues.

opportunities for standardization in the field of the circular economy.
These served to plan the CEN and CENELEC activities for the coming
years, in particular to ensure methods to assess the durability and quality
of recycled products.
ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING SOCIETAL STAKEHOLDERS AND SMEs
INDUSTRY ADVISORY FORUM (IAF)

The purpose of the Industry Advisory Forum (IAF) is to provide a platform for industry
representatives and CEN and CENELEC to have an open exchange on current
standardization issues, identify and inform on standardization priority topics for the industry
and express suggestions, expectations and concerns to identify common solutions.
16 IAF members were nominated by the CEN and CENELEC Members and Industry
Partners, on the basis of several criteria, such as high managerial level, relevant know-
how, sectorial balance across CEN and CENELEC, and they represent both SMEs as well
as large industries and ensure an adequate geographical and gender balance.
In 2019, the IAF particularly focused on the New Legislative Framework and the
Construction Product Regulation and provided recommendations to the CEN-CENELEC
boards on both issues, and started working on their next priority topics, including
Cooperation with other SDOs, Digitalization of Industry, Standards development process
and International cooperation & global impact).
NEW E-LEARNING COURSE FOR SOCIETAL STAKEHOLDERS

ANEC, ECOS and ETUC joined forces with CEN and CENELEC to further promote
their successful joint eLearning course on standardization for social stakeholders
Standards for all, which was launched in 2018. This free online course provides clear
and straightforward information about the standardization process in Europe, as well as
at the national and international levels.
The eLearning course aims to explain the complex world of standards in clear and simple
terms, and is designed to be used by everyone, regardless of their level of knowledge or
their background and according to their needs and interests.
Based on the supporting organisations’ expertise, the course contains several modules
to help users learn about standards, their development and the key role they play in
protecting consumers, workers and the environment. It further demonstrates the
importance for civil society to engage in standardization in order to improve, strengthen
and add legitimacy to the European Standardization System.

BUSINESS SECTORS
CHEMICALS
Sustainability, safety and circular value chains related to chemicals and
chemical products are at the heart of a clean and green environment and
contribute to ensuring better human health.
In this context, European Standardization in the domain of chemicals

and chemical products aims at creating a market for secondary raw
materials and identifying sustainable solutions. They are also vital in
helping to ensure that chemical products that access the European
market are safe by increasing market transparency and by providing
common reference methods and requirements. Many standardization
activities in the chemicals sector are developed in response to European
Commission requests and support the implementation of European
legislation.
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
CEN/TC 249 ‘Plastics’ published new EN 17228:2019 ‘Plastics –
Bio-based polymers, plastics, and plastics products – Terminology,
characteristics and communication’, which is particularly relevant for
FERTILISERS terminology, bio-based content, bio-based carbon content, Life Cycle
Assessment, sustainability aspects and declaration tools.

Group (SRAHG) on Fertilisers. standardization activities will be taken over by newly established CEN/
TC 462 ‘Regulated chemicals in products’.
BIO-BASED PRODUCTS
The last decades have seen the emergence of new bio-based products
in the market. Some of the reasons for the increased interest lie in
the benefits of bio-based products to counter the depletion of fossil
resources and climate change. This has triggered a wave of innovation,
fostering the dissemination of knowledge and technologies allowing new
transformation processes and product development.
In this context, CEN/TC 411 ‘Bio-based products’ developed several

standards focussing on bio-based products other than food, feed and
biomass for energy applications. These standards provide a common
basis for terminology, bio-based content determination, Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA), sustainability aspects and declaration tools.
In 2019, CEN/TC 411 published a Technical Report whose aim is to give

some examples on how to apply EN 16751:2016 ‘Bio-based products –
Sustainability criteria’. These examples give guidance and ideas on how
to respond to the indicators in that European Standard.
BUSINESS SECTORS
CONSTRUCTION
Europeans spend about 80% of their time indoors. For this reason,
European Standards (ENs) are developed to set out performance
characteristics and assessment methods of construction products and
materials and to provide the requisite testing and/or calculation methods
for them.
Harmonised European Standards (hENs), developed by more than

90 Technical Committees, are an essential tool for the application of the
Construction Products Regulation (CPR) - Regulation (EU) No 305/2011
- and for the fulfilment of national building regulations.

BUSINESS SECTORS
CONSUMER
Consumer products are defined as items intended for consumers or
likely to be used by consumers, even if not intended for them. Standards
are used every day by businesses, manufacturers, public bodies and
other organisations as a tool for ensuring consumer products are safe.
CEN standards are continuously improving, with the ambition to be

proactive and mitigate risks that can be reasonably foreseen with existing
and new types of products.
Currently, 22 CEN and CENELEC Technical Committees (TCs) are

carrying out standardization activities in the area of consumer products.
They fall mainly in the area of the General Product Safety Directive
(2001/95/EC), but are also concerned by a number of other pieces of
European legislation (Toys, Textile, Pyrotechnics, etc.). A large proportion
of the standards in this sector are drafted at the request of the European
Commission in response to 23 Mandates, but CEN also develops
standards in parallel with his international counterpart ISO in areas such
as footwear, sport equipment or textiles, leading to the publication of
European and international standards.
CONSUMER GENERAL

DEFENCE AND SECURITY

In a context of ever-increasing globalisation, the European security
environment changed drastically over the last years. Societies are
increasingly facing security threats and challenges that are growing
in scale and sophistication. Citizens have become more concerned
with security issues such as terrorism, cybersecurity, organised crime
and border security, and there is a growing demand to increase their
security accordingly. Citizens have also become more concerned with
their personal security, international crime, privacy and personal data
protection.
CEN and CENELEC are committed to strengthen the industrial and

technological base of the security sector and to empower industry with
the right tools to operate in a more open and competitive EU market.

DIGITAL SOCIETY
The European industry is rapidly transforming through the adoption of a
wide range of innovative and digital technologies. Traditional sectors of
the economy, including some which until recently were not significantly
exposed to digital tools, now have digitalisation needs that require
standardization responses. CEN and CENELEC are the platforms
bringing together representatives from a variety of backgrounds, such
as industry, societal organisations, research, academia and policy
makers, with the ambition to encourage innovation and technological
development, ensure the protection of consumers, and facilitate cross-
border trade.
It is especially important that products, systems and services are

mutually compatible and interoperable, so that information can be shared
and people can communicate with each other using different devices.
Relevant standards help to ensure that products, such as computer
peripherals and other electronic devices, made by different companies
can work together seamlessly. European Standards are key contributors
to the EU Digital Single Market, contributing to an inclusive digital
society. They represent one of the most critical issues for businesses
approaching the global market. CEN and CENELEC are engaged in
multiple technical sectors, such as Smart Grids, Cybersecurity, ICT
skills, Advanced Manufacturing, and Distributed Ledger Technologies
(DLTs). In this context, CEN and CENELEC cooperate extensively with
their international counterpart ISO and IEC to develop standards that
can be applied worldwide.

CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization,
develops voluntary standards in support of the European Single Market
for electrical and electronic goods and services, hence removing
barriers to trade, creating new markets and cutting compliance costs.
CENELEC’s objective is to agree on common specifications to respond
to the needs of industry, meet consumer expectations and contribute to
the welfare of society.
A wide range of CENELEC Technical Committees, Task Forces and

Working Groups deal with different topics and types of products. Their
work is marked by a strong commitment to ensuring the highest possible
level of safety and performance and the most efficient use of resources.
Efficient use of resources is also reflected through the close cooperation

between CENELEC and its international counterpart, the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Over 80% of CENELEC standards
are identical to, or based on, international standards adopted by the
IEC. The high level of alignment between European and International
standards means that companies active in the sector can benefit from
access to markets around the world, with lower compliance costs and
integrated supply chains.

the publication by the European Commission of the EU Green Deal.
Standardization in the energy sector contributes to better energy

management by supporting the spread of best practices and providing
energy users with the necessary tools to analyse and adapt their energy
consumption patterns. European Standards (ENs) are a flexible tool to
improve safety and performances, raise levels of energy efficiency and
protect consumers, workers and the environment.
CEN and CENELEC are working with the European Commission and
other stakeholders to develop and adopt European Standards to

In 2019, CEN and CENELEC developed 17 harmonised standards in
support of Ecodesign and/or Energy Labelling Regulations.
Moreover, CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 10 ‘Energy-related

products - Material Efficiency Aspects for Ecodesign’ continued its work
in response to Standardization Request M/543 on material efficiency
aspects of energy-related products. The aim in this area is to produce
horizontal standards - applicable to any product covered by Directive
2009/125/EC - and a Technical Report giving generic principles to
take account of when addressing material efficiency of products such
as extending product lifetime, ability to reuse components or recycle
materials from products at end-of-life and the use of reused components
and/or recycled materials in products.
BUSINESS SECTORS
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

European standardization in the field of food and feed contributes to
improving levels of food safety and protecting the health of consumers.
CEN provides validated test methods that are used by the food industry
as a whole: by the competent public authorities for official control
purposes, and by food and feed producing companies for internal
checks.
Many of the standards adopted by CEN are developed in response to

formal requests from the European Commission, and these standards
play a valuable role in supporting the implementation of relevant
European legislation.
The majority of European Standards in this field (around 70%) are identical
to international standards, as a result of the close and continuous
cooperation between CEN and ISO. Having test methods that are
recognised internationally is especially important for food companies
that want to sell their products in many different markets.
Two new CEN Technical Committees were established in 2019 in this

area: CEN/TC 460 ‘Food authenticity’ and CEN/TC 463 ‘Microbiology
of the food chain’.

HEALTHCARE
AND HEALTH & SAFETY
CEN and CENELEC develop European Standards setting quality,
performance and safety requirements for a wide variety of medical devices
and associated products ranging from contact lenses through antiseptics
to road ambulances and including health informatics, dentistry and in vitro
diagnostic medical devices. Standardization plays a fundamental role in
this sector, as it ensures a high level of safety for patients and users of
medical devices, and it guarantees that a device used in one country can
also be used in any other country with the same results.
The CEN and CENELEC Advisory Board for Healthcare Standards

(ABHS) advises CEN and CENELEC on possible new standardization
areas in the medical field. Its focus is on guiding relevant Technical
Committees (TCs) in the transition to the new landscape under the
Medical Devices Regulation (2017/745/EU) and the In Vitro Medical
Devices Regulation (2017/746/EU) and on contributing to medical device
standardization requests. The ABHS white letter published in 2019
provides an illustration of this role: the document identifies key issues in
the development of harmonised healthcare standard and provides some
recommendations to the European Commission on how these concerns
should be addressed.
Moreover, the standardization of individual protective products (PPE),

such as helmets, lifejackets, ropes used to prevent falls from a height or
footwear resistant to chemicals, is handled by TCs of the CEN-CENELEC
Sector Forum on Personal Protective Equipment. One of the Sector
Forum’s priorities for 2020 is to pursue the alignment of the existing
standards with the new PPE Regulation 2016/425/EU. This would

WELDING
Welding and the application of allied processes are widely used for
the joining of metallic materials. A significant proportion of all metallic
finished products and structures include at least one weld. However, the
material properties of finished welded joints cannot be determined solely
by non-destructive testing. Assuring the quality of welds relies, for that
reason, heavily on validation, verification, documentation and control of
the welding processes.

BUSINESS SECTORS
SERVICES
Services represent two thirds of the EU economy and are a vital sector
for boosting the growth of European business. The market share and
the employment generated by services is expected to continue to
increase, as the emergence of the collaborative economy, digitisation
and servitisation of the manufacturing industry provide further growth
opportunities for the EU service businesses.
Driven by evolving consumer needs and digitisation, the services-
manufacturing interaction is growing across industries and more and
more manufacturing businesses become services providers.
The Services Directive (2006/123/EU) sets out policy objectives to
achieve the full potential of services markets in Europe by removing
technical and administrative barriers to the freedom of establishment.
The Directive encourages the development of European standards
to facilitate the cross-border provision of services and as a means to
measure the quality of service providers in Europe.
Standards have a role to play in the integration and performance of the
Single Market for services. Businesses can use standards as a tool for
measuring and improving the quality and performance of the services
they are providing or purchasing. Standards are also a means of giving
assurance to consumers, as they can help identify which suppliers are
providing a high-quality service. This boosts consumer confidence and
facilitates fair competition between service providers on the basis of
quality as well as price.
In 2019, CEN promoted service standardization as a catalyst to build up
a thriving and globally competitive European service sector that brings
benefits to the EU economy and its citizens.

ACCESSIBILITY
CEN and CENELEC are developing European Standards and other
deliverables that promote the accessibility of products, services and the
built environment for the widest range of users, including people with
disabilities and older people.
This work relates to Standardization Requests from the European

Commission (M/473, M/420 and M/376) and the activity of CEN/BT/WG
213 (Strategic Advisory Group on Accessibility - SAGA), which coordinates
policy and strategic matters related to accessibility and advises CEN and
CENELEC Technical Boards. In 2019, ISO established a similar group, the
Strategic Advisory Group on Accessibility (SAG), that will exchange with
CEN and CENELEC on best practices and study results.
Several European and national organisations representing the interests

of persons with disabilities and older people, together with the industry
and service providers, contribute to the standardization achievements in
this sector.
The adoption in 2019 of the ‘European Accessibility Act’ (Directive (EU)

2019/882) is a big step forward to promote the full inclusion of the 80
million persons with disabilities in Europe – a figure which, due to the
ageing of the population, is expected to increase to 120 million by 2020.
The Directive includes common accessibility requirements for a wide
range of products and services. European standardization has a role to
play and will certainly contribute to improving the proper functioning of the

common minimum functional requirements and recommendations,
applicable across the full spectrum of the built environment, following
the Design for All/Universal Design principles which will facilitate
equitable and safe use for a wide range of users, including persons
with disabilities. The functional accessibility and usability requirements
and recommendations described in the standard are relevant to the
design, construction, refurbishment or adaptation, and maintenance of
built environments, including outdoor pedestrian and urban areas. This
standard is developed in response to mandate M/420 of the European

ENVIRONMENT
European standards contribute to achieving sustainable growth in
Europe and help businesses in making the transition towards a modern
circular, efficient and climate resilient economy.
The environmental business sector representatives continuously
assess the needs and provide the necessary tools to support the work
of standard writers in addressing environmental and climate change-
related aspects in standards.
In 2019, the leadership of the CEN-CENELEC environmental sector, the
CEN/Strategic Advisory Body on Environment (SABE) and CENELEC/TC
111X 'Environment', worked closely together on finding the best ways
to respond to the latest challenges of environmental policy and meet
business and societal needs.
The need for a more coherent cross-sectorial approach was acknowledged
and the creation of a joint CEN and CENELEC environmental advisory
body was proposed. The structure of the proposed joint group already
took into consideration the main objectives formulated by the Green
Deal initiative of the new EC. SABE set up its first joint group to support
the coordination of the circular economy-related initiatives.
To reach out and better inform the standardization community on the
main and strategically important activities carried out, SABE decided to
issue a newsletter at regular intervals. The first issue was issued in 2019.

Group on Smart Meters (CG-SM) is responsible for advising on European and Electronic Fee Collection. CEN and CENELEC cooperate closely with
requirements relating to smart metering standardization. It also continued ETSI and ISO in order to ensure a coherent approach to standardization
monitoring, coordinating and providing input to the development of new in this field. The focus in 2019 was on the progress and finalization of TS
standards and the maintenance of existing ones for advanced metering and TR in support of the Standardization Request on Urban ITS (M/546).
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

The CEN and CENELEC Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence has
been tasked by the Technical Boards to draft a roadmap for European
standardization on AI. The Focus Group monitored and analysed
the activities of ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 42 on Artificial Intelligence, which
serves as the focus and proponent for ISO/IEC JTC 1 standardization
programme on Artificial Intelligence. The objective is to make the link
between international standardization and the AI policies in Europe by
identifying specific European requirements for AI. In this context, the
Focus Group has started the development of the European roadmap,
with chapters that will cover important aspects such as the R&D needs
for AI from a standardization perspective, AI ethics, and AI certification.
The roadmap will aim at providing a European vision for AI, in order to
facilitate the uptake of AI standards in the European market.
ENERGY AND INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

In 2019, CLC/TC 205 ‘Home and Building electronic systems’ decided
to create a specific working group (WG 19) to start the development
of a common standard ontology in the energy sector, in collaboration
with ETSI. Ontologies are key to bridge semantic domains, and to reach
interoperability. WG 19 experts are considering the use cases in the
context of the Smart Grids Architecture Model (SGAM) framework. The
SGAM framework and its methodologies are intended to present the
design of smart grids uses cases from an architectural viewpoint.
CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity has been identified as one of the main standardization
priorities, since cyber threats impact a multitude of sectors. CEN
and CENELEC have started to adopt as European Standards several
standards in the EN ISO/IEC series on ‘Information technology – security
techniques’, under the responsibility of CEN-CLC/JTC 13 ‘Cybersecurity
and data protection’. In the automated sector, CLC/TC 65X ‘Industrial-
process measurement, control and automation’ in 2019 finalised
EN IEC 62443-4-2 ‘Security for industrial automation and control
systems – Technical security requirements for IACS components’ and
EN IEC 62443-3-3 ‘Industrial communication networks – network and
system security – System security requirements and security levels’.
DIGITAL SKILLS
Digital skills are another major priority for the European industry. CEN
published in 2019 the new edition of EN 16234-1 ‘e-Competence
Framework – a common European framework for ICT professionals in all
sectors – part 1: Framework’. The standard, developed by CEN/TC 428
‘ICT professionalism and digital competences’, provides a new framework
to categorise e-skills, using a common language for competences, skills
and proficiency levels that can be understood across Europe.

IMPROVING SUPPORT TO THE TECHNICAL WORK
In order to avoid situations of standards blocked after Formal Vote (FV)

following requests of technical changes, CEN and CENELEC BTs also
decided to align with ISO and IEC’s procedures when dealing with the
handling of comments at FV, establishing that only obvious editorial
corrections will be included in voted drafts before publication, while all
other comments will be retained for the next edition.
In May 2019, the process for the creation and functioning of the
Standardization Request Ad-Hoc Groups (SRAHG) was reviewed to
improve its effectiveness, in view of making CEN and CENELEC better
capable to respond to the European Commission’s Standardization
Requests.
CENELEC BT approved the New Work Item request form, based on the
IEC one and including new fields for target dates, to be used in the light
of the flexible process (see below).

and CENELEC developed the monitoring tool for harmonised standards,
which allows for the traceability of their citation in the OJEU, which is now
presented as a report made available to the Technical Boards Members.
Furthermore, CEN and CENELEC will work on the development of a
more interactive tool and will develop new features to allow the tracking
of individual projects through the relevant electronic platforms of CEN
and CENELEC. As part of the development of hENs, the standards are
submitted for assessment to the HAS contractor at different stages.
Since the start of the system in 2018, CEN and CENELEC have been
coordinating with the European Commission to ensure an effective process
for the development of harmonised standards. Several adaptations have
been put in place to ensure an effective process. In line with this, in
October 2019, the BTs have endorsed a detailed implementation plan
for the measurement and monitoring of the approved KPIs relating to
the HAS assessment process – including deadlines and identifying
responsible actors in the process:
MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM

The CEN and CENELEC members are committed to offer a high quality
and coherent standardization system to their stakeholders. To that
effect, they all commit to, and demonstrate their compliance to, a set of
membership criteria. This mechanism of continuous improvement and
of sharing of best practices fosters coherence throughout the European
Standardization System, making the best use of its diversity. It also
ensures that the services and tools offered by the National Standards
Bodies and National Electrotechnical Committees continue to improve
and evolve.
The criteria were lastly revised by the CEN and CENELEC General
Assemblies in May 2017 and are included in the CEN-CENELEC
Internal Regulations Part 1D and the revised Guide 22 for what
concerns the organisational aspects. The Membership Relations &
Monitoring Committee (MRMC) ensures the effective follow-up of
the outcomes of the assessment reports made by the members in
application of CEN and CENELEC membership criteria and coordinates
and disseminates good practices to the CEN and CENELEC Members.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
2019 was an important year for CEN: it presented us with a series of challenges and opportunities,
ranging from Brexit to the newly elected European institutions, up to the current global Covid-19
crisis, which showed how important it has become for organisations to be resilient, adaptable
and forward-looking. With this spirit, CEN’s community took actions to help our industry partners
respond to the rapidly evolving markets and societal needs.
The European elections, which brought forward new leaders with renewed ambitions for Europe,
were an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to contributing to the EU’s priorities. As shown
in the Declaration ‘Standards Build Trust’, CEN and CENELEC are engaged in strengthening the
Single Market and making the European economy more innovative, sustainable and competitive
in the world economy.
In this context, one of the main priorities of CEN’s standardization work is to support the European
industry’s competitiveness in the global knowledge-based economy. Fostering research and
allowing the access of promising innovations to the market is of a particular importance. As
Innovation Ambassador, I am particularly proud of the results achieved in 2019: the Boosting
Innovation Through Standards conference and the first edition of the Standards+Innovation
awards stand as a proof of our efforts to support innovation, and show how much potential there
is in synergies between the standardization and research communities. Even if there is a lot that
still needs to be done, these were two decisive steps in the right direction: CEN and CENELEC
are demanding a significant effort from their members, by fully sharing responsibilities and actions
to achieve common objectives.
Another area of strategic importance for the future is building resilience to climate change, fostering
a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly and circular economy. In 2019, CEN, through the
stewardship of the CEN/Strategic Advisory Body on the Environment (SABE), worked to include
environmental concerns in all standardization activities and across all our membership. As a
highlight, the Workshop ‘Materials in the value chains for circular economy’ organised in October
provided an overview of the opportunities for standardization in the field of the circular economy,
allowing us to plan for the future.

3 40 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
The Brexit negotiations have had a deep impact on European and British business. For this reason, in order to ensure the continuity of the European
standardization system and provide legal certainty, we have closely monitored the evolution of the situation and reflected on the necessary actions to
take. Depending on the evolution of the negotiations, an extension of a transition period and new membership rules might be decided by CEN and
CENELEC Members in the months to come.
CEN also made significant efforts to cooperate with the European Commission with regards to the fast citation of Harmonised Standards (hENs), within
the New Legislative Framework (NLF). CEN is aware of the role of hENs in reducing administrative burdens for businesses while preserving the public
interest and supporting competition. Therefore, in 2019 we strived to ensure the high quality of standards submitted for citation. We look forward to
continuing our collaboration with the European Commission in order to provide the market with high level and timely standards.
Finally, our community is deeply committed to international standardization in the framework of ISO. The ambition is to ensure that there is no duplication
of work, giving primacy to an effective global standardization system to facilitate trade. CEN’s engagement is proven by the numbers: more than one
third of our standards (36%) is identical or based on ISO standards. This relationship was strengthened in 2019 not only through the regular high-level
work of experts in international standardization, but also through our participation to the development of ISO’s Strategy 2030.
These issues, together with many others, are at the heart of the collective reflection we started, together with CENELEC, on the new ‘Strategy 2030’,
through which we will define our priorities for the next decade.
Our successes so far have been possible only thanks to the involvement of all members of the ever-growing CEN community. I am particularly proud to
welcome LIBNOR, the Lebanese Standards Institution, as a new Companion Standardization Body (CSB), together with the 16 new liaison organisations
which joined over the course of 2019. It is this vitality and openness to society that is fundamental to put us in a position to deliver fit for purpose
standardization solutions.
Therefore, on behalf of the CEN Administrative Board, I would like to warmly thank our National Members, Affiliates, Partners and Liaison Organisations,
all individual experts and the CEN and CENELEC Management Centre staff: I am looking forward to achieving our future objectives together!

ABOUT CEN
CEN (European Committee for Standardization) is recognized by the EU and EFTA as the European Standardization Organization responsible for
developing standards at European level. These standards set out specifications and procedures for a wide range of materials, processes, products
and services.
The members of CEN are the National Standardization Bodies of 34* European countries. European Standards (ENs) and other standardization
deliverables adopted by CEN are accepted and recognised in all of these countries.
European Standards contribute to enhancing safety, improving quality, facilitating cross-border trade and strengthening the European Single Market.
They are developed through a process of collaboration between experts nominated by business and industry, research institutes, consumer and
environmental organizations and other stakeholders. CEN works to promote the international alignment of standards in the framework of the technical
cooperation agreement with ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

As a year, 2019 was as eventful as it could get. In the aftermath of Brexit, the newly elected
European institutions, ongoing trade tensions and other similar developments, all organisations
are faced with long-term, exciting challenges: being open to change is a prerequisite of success.
After my first year as CENELEC President, I am proud of how the whole European standardization
community has risen up to the task, continuing on its transformation path to ensure it meets the
needs of the industry and society.
An important part of CENELEC’s efforts is to bring forward the digitalisation of our system. In
line with this ambition, together with CEN in 2019 we established the Strategic Advisory Group
on Digital and Information Technology (DITSAG), which will help us steer the implementation
of our Digital Transformation Strategy. We also continued working on our projects to develop
“standards of the future”, which will allow us to provide effective solutions that meet the needs of
our stakeholders in the digital economy.
As part of our effort to build standards fit for the future, we have also identified space and related
data applications as an area where standards might play a strategic long-term role. In order to
explore development opportunities, in June we organised together with CEN a very successful
Stakeholder Workshop on downstream space applications, which has allowed to begin a
comprehensive reflection on the next step on standardization in the field.
As the workshop showed, being open to the evolving needs of the market is fundamental to
have an up-to-date, flexible standardization system. As an industry man myself, I am particularly
aware of the importance of regularly engaging the industry in our work to ensure that we develop
up-to-date standards that bring benefits and are ready to access the market. In this regard, the
recent developments in the framework of the Industry Advisory Forum (IAF) have been particularly
noteworthy: the exchange with industry representatives allowed to identify standardization priority
topics for the industry and express suggestions for future activities.
www.cenelec.eu
3 31 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
An issue of particular relevance for the industry is the smooth citation of harmonised standards (hENs) in the Official Journal of the EU. Indeed, the
timely citation of hENs helps simplify conformity assessment and reduce administrative burdens, thus fostering innovation. Some welcome steps were
taken in 2019 together with the European Commission to address this issue, but more needs to be done in the future to continue on the right path. We
look forward to continuing our collaboration with the European Commission in order to provide the market with much needed clear and state-of-the-art
standards.
But our relationship with the European institutions goes much deeper than that: after all, European standards play a huge role in contributing to the
smooth functioning of the Single Market. The 2019 European elections were an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to contributing to the EU’s
priorities. As shown in the Declaration ‘Standards Build Trust’, CENELEC and CEN are engaged in strengthening the Single Market and making the
European economy more innovative, sustainable and competitive in the world economy.
CENELEC is deeply committed to contributing to international standardization in the electrotechnical field: through the regular high-level participation of
European experts in the framework of IEC, we give primacy to an effective global standardization system to facilitate trade across borders. A number
can show the level of CENELEC’s engagement: 79% of all CENELEC’s standards are identical or based on IEC ones. In 2019, this relationship was in
full display: CENELEC and IEC jointly hosted a very successful webinar on the Frankfurt Agreement. Furthermore, in October, during the IEC General
Meeting in Shanghai, we organised a workshop which attracted more than 200 participants on the importance of a public–private partnership and the
primacy of international standards to support a market economy.
Finally, in 2019 we started a collective reflection, together with CEN, our members and stakeholders, on the new ‘Strategy 2030’, which will set our
common priorities in navigating the next decade and ensuring an up-to-date, efficient and sustainable European Standardization System.
All our achievements would have been impossible without the commitment of our dedicated CENELEC community. On behalf of the CENELEC
Administrative Board, allow me to thank our National Members and Affiliates, our Partners and Liaison Organizations, all individual experts and the staff
at the CEN and CENELEC Management Centre. It has been a privilege to work together with you in 2019, and I am looking forward with optimism to
what future holds!

ABOUT CENELEC
CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) is recognized by the EU and EFTA as the European Standardization Organisation
responsible for developing standards at European level. These standards set out specifications and procedures for a wide range of materials, processes,
products and services.
The members of CENELEC are the National Electrotechnical Committees of 34* European countries. European Standards (ENs) and other standardization
deliverables adopted by CENELEC are accepted and recognized in all of these countries.
European Standards contribute to enhancing safety, improving quality, facilitating cross-border trade and strengthening the European Single Market.
They are developed through a process of collaboration between experts nominated by business and industry, research institutes, consumer and
environmental organizations and other stakeholders. CENELEC works to promote the international alignment of standards in the framework of the
technical cooperation agreement with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).
