ANNUAL REPORT 2013
This report presents the main outcomes of activities carried out by CENELEC in
2013. Please note that the outcomes of joint activities carried out by CENELEC
in cooperation with CEN are presented in a separate report on CEN-CENELEC
activities in 2013.
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am very pleased to introduce this Annual Report presenting CENELEC’s activities and
achievements in 2013, which was my first year as CENELEC President. Indeed, it was an
extremely busy year that saw not just the introduction of a new legal framework for European
standardization (EU Regulation 1025/2012), but also the adoption, together with our CEN
colleagues, of a common set of ambitions describing what we want to achieve in the coming
years, up until 2020.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
2
The ambitions that were adopted by the General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC in June
2013 include Global influence, Regional relevance, Wider recognition, Network of excellence,
Innovation and growth, and Sustainable system. Both of our organizations have committed
themselves to working towards these ambitions by developing joint actions as well as parallel
initiatives, taking into account the different domains we cover, as well as the wishes of our
respective members.
2013 was also the last year of the implementation of the previous CENELEC strategy, and
many of our achievements will provide us with a solid basis for working towards the ambitions
we have adopted for the years up to 2020. Our ‘Strategy 2010-2013’, as well as our ‘Ambitions
to 2020’, place a strong focus on developing cooperation and partnerships with a view to
ensuring the continued relevance, adaptation and sustainability of our system. In CENELEC
we have succeeded in building stronger relationships with a wide range of partners, including
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and our counterparts around the world,
as well as the business community, the European Commission (EC) and the European Free
Trade Association (EFTA).
Regarding our cooperation with the EC and EFTA, in 2013 CENELEC adopted another
132 harmonized standards that can be used by companies to demonstrate that their products
conform to the essential requirements set out in EU Directives. Meanwhile, the European
legislative framework for standardization has been strengthened with the introduction of the
new EU Regulation 1025/2012, which has also confirmed the role of CEN and CENELEC
in supporting European legislation and policies.
In 2013, we have focused on making sure that CENELEC and its members are able to fulfil
the new reporting obligations set out in Regulation 1025/2012, and we have also worked
on adapting the system in order to make it easier for various stakeholders to contribute to
the standards development process. In this context, we have paid particular attention to
ensuring that SMEs and societal stakeholders are able to access and use our system, and
supporting these stakeholders to get involved in relevant standardization activities.
Promoting the effective participation of all stakeholders is a major objective for CENELEC.
As part of our efforts to facilitate the involvement of industry and other stakeholders, we have
worked with our CEN colleagues to simplify the rules and procedures that enable European
organizations and other stakeholders to participate in our activities on an ongoing basis.
The new CEN-CENELEC Guide 25 provides a common framework for developing such
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
cooperation. Since it was adopted by our General Assembly in June 2013, CENELEC has approved
11 applications for ‘Partner organization’ status and 15 applications for ‘Liaison organization’ status (up
until April 2014), and we expect that more organizations will join our community in the coming months.
This focus on streamlining our various partnerships has enabled us to ensure that standardization needs
are being properly addressed and also that we are embracing a ‘system approach’ to various topics
that cut across traditional sectors and fields. In this respect, an important area of technical activity
relates to ‘Smart Grids’ that serve the needs of both energy consumers and producers. Here CENELEC
is cooperating closely with CEN and ETSI through the Smart Grid Coordination Group (SG-CG),
which is responsible for ensuring the completion of work requested by the European Commission
(under EC Mandate 490).
In 2013, we contributed to further improving the European contribution to international standards
by integrating the CENELEC and IEC voting systems, which makes it easier for our Members
to participate in parallel votes. Moreover, we also strengthened the coordination between the
CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) and the IEC Central Office by setting up a Management
Coordination Group.
In CEN and CENELEC, we are also thinking about the long-term future of the European Standardization
System, which is why ‘Sustainable system’ is one of our six ambitions to 2020. This is partly about
ensuring the financial sustainability of the system, but it also means encouraging and helping the next
generation of professionals to learn about standardization and find out how they can get involved.
In 2013, we continued to develop our activities in the framework of our ‘Masterplan on Education about
Standardization’ and in close cooperation with various stakeholders, such as EURAS - the European
Academy for Standardization.
As CENELEC President, I am conscious of the fact that none of our activities can succeed without
the active involvement of our 33 Members and the whole of the CENELEC community. Therefore, on
behalf of the CENELEC Administrative Board, I would like to thank all of our Members and Affiliates,
our Partner and Liaison organizations, and all of the individuals who participate in the work of our
Technical Committees and Working Groups. We are very grateful for all your contributions in 2013, and
we continue to count on your commitment!
Tore Trondvold

ANNUAL REPORT 2013
For CENELEC and for our partners in Europe’s electrotechnical sector, the market is truly global.
This is why our successive strategies have always placed a key emphasis on our collaboration with
the IEC and on our contribution to its standardization activities. Therefore, it makes me very proud to
see that our cooperation with IEC is growing closer and more fruitful every year. More than two-thirds
(69%) of all CENELEC standards are identical to those published by IEC, and the majority of new
CENELEC standards (58%) are being adopted at both European and international levels using parallel
voting procedures, in accordance with the Dresden Agreement.

CENELEC AND ITS COMMUNITY
CENELEC COMMUNITY
CENELEC GENERAL ASSEMBLY
CENELEC offers an inclusive platform that
is accessible to all interested stakeholders:
companies of all sizes - including small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), consumer
groups, societal and environmental interests,
public sector organizations, academics and
researchers.
The 53nd CENELEC General Assembly was
held in Copenhagen (Denmark) on 20 June
2013, hosted by Danish Standards (DS).
Regarding the implementation of CENELEC’s
Strategy 2010-2013, Members agreed that
positive progress had been achieved, although
further action would be needed in relation to a
number of the objectives.
The CENELEC community also includes
Affiliates, which are the National
Electrotechnical Committees of countries
that are recognized as candidates or potential
candidates for membership of the European
Union, or are covered by the EU’s European
Neighbourhood Policy. Affiliates may choose
to participate in any CENELEC Technical
Committee (TC) with observer status, on
condition that they implement any European
Standards (ENs) that are developed by the
TC as national standards and withdraw any
conflicting national standards. At the end
of 2013, CENELEC had 13 Affiliates in the
following countries: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Israel,
Jordan, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco, Serbia,
Tunisia and Ukraine.
In order to follow-up the CENELEC Strategy
2010-2013 (and also the CEN Strategy
2011-2013), the General Assemblies of CEN
and CENELEC both approved the document
‘CEN and CENELEC’s ambitions to 2020’.
This document sets out a series of six goals
that both organizations will work towards in
the coming years.
The following persons were elected as
members of the CENELEC Administrative
Board from 1 January 2014: Roberto Bacci
(CEI, Italy), Asen Georgiev (TESY, Bulgaria)
and Thierry Lefebvre (Electricité de France).
The General Assembly also elected two new
Vice-Presidents to serve two-year terms
starting on 1 January 2014: Bogdan Topi was
elected to take over from Claude Breining as
CENELEC Vice-President Finance, while Uwe
Kampet was elected to take over from Carlo
Masetti as Vice-President Technical.
11
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
The Members of CENELEC are the National
Electrotechnical Committees of 33 European
countries They are recognized as being able
to represent all standardization interests in
their respective countries, in accordance with
the ‘national delegation principle’. CENELEC
Members include the National Electrotechnical
Committees of 28 European Union Member
States and three Member States of the
European Free Trade Association (Iceland,
Norway and Switzerland) plus two EU
candidate countries (Turkey and the former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
CENELEC AND ITS COMMUNITY
NEW FRAMEWORK
OF PARTNERSHIP
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
12
In 2013, the General Assemblies of CEN
and CENELEC both adopted a common
framework of revised rules and procedures
that provide clear options for European
organizations and other stakeholders that
wish to cooperate with CEN and/or CENELEC
on a continuous basis and contribute to
standardization activities at European level.
The new CEN-CENELEC Guide 25 ‘The
concept of Partnership with European
Organisations and other stakeholders’ was
developed following extensive consultations
with the members and stakeholders of CEN
and CENELEC.
Under the new framework, which entered into
force on 1 January 2014, there are six different
types of status, depending on the specific
nature and interests of each organization
that wishes to cooperate with CEN and/
or CENELEC. Following this transition,
the category of ‘CENELEC Cooperating
Partners’ is no longer valid. CENELEC has
accorded the status of ‘Partner organization’
to 11 organizations, and the status of ‘Liaison
organization’ to another 15 organizations
[these figures were correct on 30 April 2014].
Following the introduction of the new policy on
partnership, CENELEC (and CEN) will continue
to collaborate closely with the European
Commission and EFTA. The new framework
also creates the possibility for EU Agencies
and other European intergovernmental
organisations to be recognized as ‘European
Institutional Stakeholders’ of CEN and/or
CENELEC.
CEN and CENELEC are confident that
their new framework for partnership will
contribute to the strengthening of the
European Standardization System by
facilitating the active involvement of a wide
range of organizations representing different
stakeholders.

CORE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
CORE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
16
The core business of CENELEC is to support
the development, adoption and publication of
European Standards and other standardization
deliverables that meet the needs of European
businesses (including SMEs) and other
stakeholders in the fields of electricity,
electronics and related technologies.
In 2013, the CENELEC BT approved the
creation of 4 new Technical Committees
(TCs): CLC/TC 10 ‘Fluids for electrotechnical
applications’, CLC/TC 34A ‘Lamps’, CLC/
TC 95X ‘Measuring relays and protection
equipment’ and CLC/TC 7X ‘Overhead
electrical conductors’.
This important work brings concrete benefits
to European industry, consumers and society
as a whole. These benefits include: improving
the performance and safety of products and
systems; reinforcing the Single Market and
enabling economic growth; supporting the
dissemination of innovation and facilitating the
spread of new technologies.
CENELEC BT accepted 2 new standardization
requests from the European Commission in
2013. These relate to Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (EC Mandate
518) and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (EC
Mandate 519). It also accepted an amendment
to EC Mandates 101 and 126 (construction
products), as well as 3 amendments (technical
updates) to EC Mandate 495 (harmonized
standards in the field of Ecodesign).
In order to prepare and produce state-of-theart standards, CENELEC brings together the
knowledge of experts through its network of
33 National Committees (plus 13 Affiliates) and
continuous cooperation with organizations
representing various stakeholders.
This report presents the main
outcomes of activities carried out by
CENELEC in 2013. Please note that the
outcomes of joint activities carried out
in cooperation with CEN are presented
in a separate report on CEN-CENELEC
activities in 2013.
CENELEC TECHNICAL BOARD
The CENELEC Technical Board (BT) is
responsible for managing the electrotechnical
standards work programme and promoting its
speedy execution by the responsible Technical
Bodies.
In the spirit of continuous improvement and
in the framework of the CENELEC Strategy
2010-2013, CENELEC BT completed the
implementation of its ‘Action Plan’. The aims
of this plan included: intensifying cooperation
with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), improving the participation
of experts in the technical work, and
monitoring and controlling the progress of the
standardization process.
TECHNICAL BODY OFFICERS
A seminar was organized at the CENCENELEC Meeting Centre in Brussels on
4 and 5 December 2013 for the officers of
Technical Bodies who are responsible for
managing standardization activities and
developing standards at European level. This
event, intended for the chairpersons and
secretaries of Technical Bodies supported
by CEN and CENELEC, attracted more than
80 participants. The seminar covered various
developments in the world of standardization,
with a particular focus on ‘Rules and
processes’ and ‘Adapting to market needs’.
TECHNICAL BODY AWARDS
Standardization depends on the commitment
and hard work of countless experts who
participate in technical bodies and contribute
to the drafting of standards on a voluntary
basis. Perhaps the greatest contribution to
the CENELEC system is made by those who
accept the responsibility of chairing Technical
Committees (TCs) and Working Groups
(WGs). This is why, once every 2 years,
CENELEC presents awards to some the most
dedicated and hard-working TC Chairs, who
are selected by the Technical Board.
CORE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
17
The Technical Body Awards Ceremony 2013
took place in Brussels on 4 December, just
before the joint CEN-CENELEC Technical
Bodies Seminar.
Golden pins were presented to 5 CENELEC
TC Chairs: Wim De Kesel (Chair of CLC/TC
23BX ‘Switches, boxes and enclosures for
household and similar purposes, plugs and
socket outlets for d.c. and for the charging of
electrical vehicles including their connectors’
since 2001), Fabio Gargantini (Chair of CLC/TC
61 ‘Safety of household and similar electrical
appliances’ since 2005), Phil Chadwick (Chair
of CLC/TC 106X ‘Electromagnetic fields in the
human environment ‘ since 2002), Dominique
Beck (Chair of CLC/TC 205 ‘Home and
Building Electronic Systems’ since 2004)
and Christian Verholt (Chair of CLC/TC 210
‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’ from 2002
until 2012).
COOPERATION WITH IEC
Maintaining its close cooperation with the
International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) remains a strategic priority for CENELEC.
The majority of CENELEC deliverables are
being developed and adopted in collaboration
with the IEC, using parallel approval
procedures in the framework of the Dresden
Agreement (signed in 1996). The result of this
partnership is that 75% of all the standards
published by CENELEC are either identical
to or very similar to international standards
published by the IEC.
CENELEC and the IEC are working together
with their Members in order to speed-up the
process for the adoption of standards. In this
regard, the voting period for draft standards
(Committee Drafts for Vote) has been reduced
to 3 months (in most cases). This also applies
to so-called ‘homegrown’ standards, which
are developed by CENELEC outside the
framework of its cooperation with the IEC.
CENELEC’s delegation to the 77th IEC
General Meeting in New Delhi (India), from 21
to 25 October 2013, was led by the CENELEC
President, Tore Trondvold, accompanied by
the Director General of CEN and CENELEC,
Elena Santiago Cid.

CORE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
CENELEC PUBLICATIONS
Within the CEN-CENELEC Management
Centre (CCMC), the Standards Publications
Unit is responsible for processing and editing
the texts of all CENELEC deliverables in
accordance with the Internal Regulations. The
careful and systematic editing of documents,
according to a consistent set of rules, ensures
that high quality publications are delivered to
CENELEC members and their customers.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
18
The number of technical documents
published by CENELEC in 2013 was
454. These publications included: 432
European Standards (EN) and Harmonization
Documents (HD), 7 Technical Specifications
(TS), 5 Technical Reports (TR), 2 Workshop
Agreements (CWA) and 8 Guides. At the end
of the year, the total number of valid (or ‘living’)
CENELEC documents was 6 910 (including
54 Guides).
In 2013, CCMC introduced the practice of
consolidating amendments into so-called
‘homegrown’ CENELEC standards at
publication stage. This means that CENELEC
Members receive the consolidated text, rather
than just the amendment itself. They can then
provide their customers with a complete
document that contains the whole standard,
and clearly identifies any changes brought
about by the amendment.
CCMC has also started the process of
upgrading the production line for technical
documents, so that CEN and CENELEC
Members will be able to receive standards and
other deliverables in XML (Extensible Mark-up
Language) format.
STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES
IN 2013
CENELEC provides a European platform for
the standardization of products and systems
in the fields of electricity, electronics and
related technologies. Here we present the
main outcomes of standardization activities
that were developed in the framework of
CENELEC during 2013.
Please note that the outcomes of joint
activities carried out by CENELEC in
cooperation with CEN are presented
in a separate report on CEN-CENELEC
activities in 2013.
ELECTROTECHNOLOGY
●
Electronics
The Technical Committee ‘Power electronics’
(CLC/TC 22X) has continued to work on
developing the EN 50598 series of standards
‘Ecodesign for power drive systems, motor
starters, power electronics and their driven
applications’ as requested by the European
Commission in the framework of Mandates
476 and 495. The 3 parts of this series were
circulated to CENELEC Members for Enquiry
in September 2013. The results of this work
will also be useful for other applications that
make use of motor systems.
A number of CENELEC Technical Bodies are
collaborating with IEC on standardization
activities that are being undertaken at
international level. They ensure that the needs
and interests of European industry and other
stakeholders are taken into consideration
during the standards development process,
and that the resulting standards are in line with
the requirements of relevant EU legislation

(EN 61730-1).
●
Wind energy
The CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Wind
turbines’ (CLC/TC 88) is responsible for
developing and adopting European Standards
to meet the needs of Europe’s wind energy
industry. These standards are concerned
with all sub-systems of wind turbines, such
as mechanical and internal electrical systems,
foundations and support structures as well as
control and protection systems. CENELEC
also collaborates with the international
Technical Committee IEC/TC 88, in order to
support the expansion of the global market
for wind turbine technologies.
In 2013, CENELEC published standards
relating to ‘design requirements for wind
turbine gearboxes’ (EN 61400-4), ‘acoustic
noise measurement technique’s (EN 6140011), and ‘power performance of electricityproducing wind turbines based on nacelle
anemometry’ (EN 61400-12). CLC/TC 88 also

ABOUT CENELEC
The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) is one of three officially recognized organizations
responsible for developing and defining standards at European level (alongside CEN and ETSI). CENELEC provides a
platform for the development, adoption and revision of European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables in the fields of
electricity, electronics and associated technologies.
CENELEC brings together the National Electrotechnical Committees of 33 European countries. These include all 28
Member States of the European Union and three Member States of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway
and Switzerland) plus two EU candidate countries (Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
The members of CENELEC work together with various stakeholders - including industry, SMEs, societal stakeholders,
public sector bodies, academics and researchers - to develop voluntary European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables.
CENELEC contributes to meeting the needs of industry and other stakeholders, completing the European Single Market
and strengthening Europe’s position in the global economy.
CENELEC works in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to coordinate their respective
activities and enable the alignment of European and international standards. More than two-thirds of all CENELEC
standards are identical to IEC standards.
CENELEC cooperates with the European Commission to develop and adopt harmonized standards and other deliverables
that support the implementation of EU policies and legislation.
CENELEC collaborates with the other European Standardization Organizations (CEN and ETSI) to develop joint activities
in areas of common interest, and to promote and strengthen the European Standardization System for the benefit of
businesses, consumers and society as a whole.
