Introduction
Every day millions of businesses are applying
and using European Standards because they
are valuable tools that can help to ensure the
quality and safety of products and services, achieve
compatibility between different products and
components, access markets and sell to
customers worldwide, satisfy customers’
expectations and requirements, reduce costs,
eliminate waste and improve efficiency.
Most European Standards are developed in
response to specific needs that have been
identified by business, industry and other
potential users of standards. About 30% of
European Standards reply to European Policy
initiatives upon requests from the European
Commission. These harmonized standards
provide presumption of conformity with essential
requirements that have been set out in European
legislation.
While
businesses,
organizations
and
consumers can enjoy a wide range of
benefits by using European standards and
applying them correctly, there are several reasons
why many also choose to actively participate in
the development of standards by getting involved
in standardization. You can help to shape the
content of new standards that will affect your
industry and/or interests, while they are being prepared.
In this Work Programme, we provide you with an
overview of the standardization activities planned
for 2014 in the different fields and sectors that
CEN and CENELEC are dealing with.
European standardization activities support
the dissemination of knowledge about new
technologies and innovations, and can help to
bridge the gap between research, innovation and
the market. In particular, CEN and CENELEC are
identifying ways in which European Standards
can contribute to a more efficient use of energy
and other resources, reduce waste and minimize
negative impacts on the environment.
I hope that it provides you with insight into
our activities planned for 2014. You can
find further details and a comprehensive
overview on our standardization work on
the CEN-CENELEC (www.cencenelec.eu), CEN
(www.cen.eu) and CENELEC (www.cenelec.eu)
websites, where regular updates are provided.
We are constantly looking for ways to reply
to emerging needs and to evolve with the
changing nature of business in different
domains. The main route for businesses
and other stakeholders to get involved in
standardization is via our Members: the
National Standardization Bodies and National
Electrotechnical Committees in 33 countries.
You will find a complete list of all CEN and
CENELEC members at the end of this publication.
I wish you interesting reading, and look forward to
your active participation in standardization in 2014
and beyond.

Director General of CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Introduction
The standardization activities of CEN and
CENELEC cover products, processes and
services across a wide range of traditional
sectors like air and space, construction and civil
engineering, chemicals, consumer products,
household goods and electrical appliances,
defence, security and privacy, electrotechnology
including electrical engineering, automation and
electronics, food and feed, healthcare, machinery,
materials, nanotechnologies, pressure equipment,
transport, etc.
CEN and CENELEC also provide a platform
for developing standardization activities in
emerging fields such as ‘smart’ technologies,
e-Health, e-Education encompassing ICT skills
and e-Learning, Intelligent Transport Systems,
etc. Our standards are also responding to major
societal challenges and having a direct impact
on the quality of life, such as in relation to
accessibility and assisted living, during a time
when ageing is one of the greatest social and
economic challenges facing our societies.

Accessibility
Accessibility refers to the extent to which
products, systems, services, environments,
buildings or facilities can be accessed and
used by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and older people.
CEN and CENELEC are committed to making
sure that European Standards take accessibility
into account, for example by addressing
the principle of accessibility and applying a
‘Design for All’ approach during the development of
standards.
CEN and CENELEC cooperate with the
international
standardization
organizations
(ISO and IEC) to ensure that accessibility is
addressed during the drafting of new standards and the revision of existing standards. They
are actively contributing to the ongoing revision
of ISO/IEC Guide 71 ‘Guidelines for addressing
accessibility
in
standards’.
The
current
version of this guide was published in 2001,
and has also been adopted at European level (as
CEN-CENELEC Guide 6).
CEN and CENELEC will:
• work with relevant stakeholders to
ensure that the role of standardization is
recognized and reflected in the framework
of the ‘European Accessibility Act’;
• liaise with the European Innovation
Partnership on Active and Healthy
Ageing, in order to identify how
standardization activities could contribute to meeting the needs of an ageing
society and supporting the growth of the
‘silver economy
While the concept of ‘accessibility’ has
existed for several decades, it has become
more of a priority for public policies in recent years. The UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities (2006) highlights the
importance of ensuring equal access to the
physical
environment,
transportation,
information and communications, and other
facilities and services, so that persons with
disabilities
can
live
independently
and
participate fully in all aspects of life.
Accessibility
The European Disability Strategy 2010-2020
states that legislative and other instruments,
including standardization, should be used to
ensure the accessibility of goods and
services.
The
forthcoming
European
Accessibility Act (to be proposed in 2014) should
support the continued expansion of the market
for accessible goods and services, especially
in relation to public procurement (i.e. the
purchasing of goods and services by public
authorities) throughout Europe.
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014

Design for All
The concept of accessible, universal or
barrier-free design (also known as ‘Design for
All’) relates to the objective of ensuring that a
product, building or service can be used by
as many people as possible. This may involve
designing products or services that are
readily usable by most users (without any
modification), making products that can be
adapted to different users, including older
people and people with disabilities, or having
standardized interfaces that are compatible
with products used by persons with disabilities
(i.e. ‘assistive technologies’).
The CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group
‘Design for All’ (CEN-CLC JWG 5) is responsible for coordinating efforts to ensure that
accessibility is addressed during the development of standards for products and services
(in accordance with EC Mandate M/473).
CEN and CENELEC will start work
on developing a new European
Standard setting out how to implement
a ‘Design for All’ approach in the design,
development, production and provision
of goods and services.
Accessibility in the
built environment
Accessibility
CEN and CENELEC have set up a Joint Working
Group ‘Accessibility in the Built Environment’
(JWG 6), which is responsible for implementing
standardization activities in this area. These
include activities regarding accessibility
requirements for public procurement in the
built environment, in the framework of a
request from the European Commission (EC
mandate M/420).
4
CEN and CENELEC will start work on
the development of a European Standard
setting out functional accessibility
requirements in relation to the built
environment, which could be used as
technical specifications or as criteria for
awarding public contracts.
e-Accessibility
Accessible Tourism
e-Accessibility is about ensuring that people
with disabilities and older people can have
access to products and services that
are based on or related to information and
communication technologies (ICT). European
standardization work in this area is coordinated
by the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Joint Working Group
on e-Accessibility, which has been in charge
of responding to the EC Mandate M/376
‘European accessibility requirements for Public
Procurement of products and services in the ICT
domain’ (issued in 2005).
As older people and people with disabilities
or special needs together represent a
large (and growing) percentage of Europe’s
population, companies (including SMEs) and
other organizations are becoming increasingly
interested in finding ways to serve this
expanding market. Providers of tourism
services have a particular interest in
reaching the widest possible range of potential
customers. The idea of ‘accessible tourism’ also
corresponds with the goal of ensuring equal
opportunities for all in relation to all kinds of
leisure activities.
CEN and CENELEC, in partnership with
ETSI, will:
• publish a new European Standard
‘Accessibility requirements suitable for
public procurement of ICT products and
services in Europe’ (EN 301 549) together
with Technical Reports providing related
information and guidance;
CEN will engage in dialogue with
relevant stakeholders regarding the
possibility of developing a set of
guidelines on the ‘Universal Design of
Tourism Services’, which would take into
account the diverse needs of people with
disabilities and others with specific
access requirements.
• finalize the development of an online
toolkit to support the public procurement
of accessible ICT-related products and
services, which could be used by public
authorities and also by manufacturers
and providers throughout Europe;
• liaise with the European Commission and other stakeholders to identify
how standardization could contribute to
achieving the objectives of the proposed
EU Directive on the accessibility of public
sector bodies’ websites (COM(2012) 721).

In the Air and Space sector, CEN and CENELEC are developing and publishing standards in relation to
Aerospace, Air traffic management, and the Space industry.
Aerospace
Standards and technical specifications for
the aerospace industry are being developed
by the AeroSpace and Defence Industries
Association of Europe - Standardization
(ASD-STAN), which cooperates closely with
CEN. ASD-STAN is responsible for the technical
content of standards defining products,
materials, test methods and procedures for the
construction, maintenance and use of aircraft
and space vehicles including their propulsion
units and equipment. It develops specifications
for aerospace applications, mainly in the field
of engineering materials and components, and
submits them to CEN for adoption as European
Standards.
CEN will:
• continue to cooperate with ASD-STAN
in order to ensure the timely adoption of
standards that are required by Europe’s
Aerospace industry;
• continue discussions with relevant
stakeholders on the possibility of developing one or more standards in relation
to ‘cabin air quality’ in passenger aircraft.

Bio-based products
Bio-based products are products wholly or partly
derived from biomass, which mostly consists
of plants and materials derived from plants.
One of the main reasons for the increasing
level of interest in commercial applications of
bio-based products is the fact that biomass is a
renewable resource and therefore these products can contribute to a more efficient use of
natural resources. In many cases, bio-based
products can also offer unique properties with
additional functionalities.
Standards for bio-based products can help to
increase market transparency by providing
common reference methods in order to verify
claims about these products (e.g. biodegradability, sustainability). The need for
standards in this area has been highlighted by
the European Commission in its recent Communications ‘Innovating for Sustainable Growth:
A Bioeconomy for Europe’ (COM(2012) 60) and
‘A Stronger European Industry for Growth and
Economic Recovery’ (COM(2012) 582).
CEN is developing European Standards and
other deliverables covering horizontal aspects
of bio-based products as well as standards for
specific bio-based product groups. Much of
this work relates to standardization requests
from the European Commission, namely the
mandates M/430, M/491 and M/492. Horizontal
standardization activities in this area are being
coordinated by the CEN Technical Committee
‘Bio-based products’ (CEN/TC 411).
CEN will:

Dangerous substances
Sustainability
The CEN Technical Committee ‘Construction
Products - Assessment of release of dangerous
substances’ (CEN/TC 351) is responsible
for developing methods to assess the
release of dangerous substances in the
environment, in accordance with EC mandate
M/366. Several Technical Specifications are
being developed that, after validation, will be
revised into European Standards.
The CEN Technical Committee ‘Sustainability
of Construction works’ (CEN/TC 350) is in
charge of developing standardized methods
for assessing the sustainability aspects of
new and existing construction works, and
standards for the environmental product
declaration of construction products, in line
with the European Standard ‘Sustainability
of construction works - Environmental product
declarations - Core rules for the product category of construction products’ (EN 15804:2012).
CEN will finalize a series of Technical
Specifications setting out methods
for testing the release of dangerous
substances into the environment
(indoor air, groundwater and soil).
Energy performance
The European Commission has asked CEN to
develop standards to promote the energy efficiency
ofbuildings,includingamethodologyforcalculating
the energy performance of buildings, in line with
the EU Directive on the energy performance of
buildings (2010/31/EU). The CEN Project
Committee ‘Energy Performance of Buildings’
(CEN/TC 371) is in charge of coordinating this
work, in accordance with EC mandate M/480.
CEN will proceed with the incorporation
of sustainability aspects into European
Standards for various types of construction
products such as: thermal insulation
products; round and sawn timber and
precast concrete products. The standard
relating to round and sawn timber (EN
16485) should be ready in April 2014.
Specific standards are being developed by the CEN
Technical Committees that deal with ‘Thermal
performance of buildings and building components’
(CEN/TC 89), ‘Ventilation for buildings’ (CEN/TC
156), ‘Light and lighting’ (CEN/TC 169), ‘Heating
systems in buildings’ (CEN/TC 228), and ‘Building
automation, controls and building management’
(CEN/TC 247). Each new European Standard will
be accompanied by a Technical Report with
examples and background information.
Construction
CEN will produce draft standards in
relation to ‘Thermal performance of
buildings and building components’,
‘Ventilation for buildings’, ‘Light and
lighting’, ‘Heating systems in buildings’,
and ‘Building automation, controls and
building management’ (EC mandate
M/480). Public enquiries will be launched
so that stakeholders can comment on the
content of these draft standards.

The development of European Standards in relation to various types of consumer
products
is a major
area managem
of activity for CEN, which has more than 20 Technical Committees working in this field. Standardization
work in relation to consumer products is being carried out in the framework of relevant EU legislation,
in particular the General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) and the Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC).
Child safety
CEN has a number of Technical Committees
that deal specifically with the safety of children
in relation to potential risks associated with
certain consumer products such as: Toys
(CEN/TC 52), Sports, Playground and other
Recreational Equipment (CEN/TC 136), Child
use and care articles (CEN/TC 252), High
Chairs (CEN/TC 364), Child Protective Products
(CEN/TC 398).
Standardization activities in 2014 will focus
especially on enhancing the safety of very young
children during everyday activities such as
sleeping, sitting and bathing. This will be
achieved by developing requirements and test
methods for furniture products used by carers in
the domestic environment, such as suspended
baby beds, mattresses for cots, children’s chairs
and high chairs, as well as accessories like baby
baths, sleeping bags, cot bumpers and duvets.
CEN will:

Defence and Security
In its latest Communication on the Defence and
Security Sector (COM(2013) 542), adopted in July
2013, the European Commission has committed
itself to promoting the development of dual-use
or ‘Hybrid Standards’ for products which can have
both military and civilian applications. It has also
identified the need to establish a mechanism to
draft specific European standards for military
products and applications after agreement with
Member States.
12
The CEN-CENELEC Stakeholder Forum
for Defence Procurement Standardization
(SFDPS) will develop proposals for
mechanisms to produce European
Standards for military products and
applications, as well as for products with
both military and civilian applications.
CEN and CENELEC will continue to
facilitate the adoption of new European
Standards based on existing (national)
defence standards, in line with needs and
priorities identified by SFDPS.
Coordination Group (CSCG) was set up in 2011.
The CSCG gives strategic advice to the
technical boards of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
on political and strategic matters related to
cybersecurity standardization. The CSCG works
in close cooperation with overseas partners
(notably in the USA), with the EU institutions
(including ENISA - the European Union Agency
for Network and Information Security), and with
the international standardization organizations
(ISO and IEC).

The CSCG seeks to identify gaps and define
requirements for European and international
standards for cybersecurity, in order to establish a European cybersecurity standardization
roadmap. In this way, it will contribute to the
successful implementation of the European
Union’s Cybersecurity Strategy, which was
adopted in February 2013 by the European
Commission and the EU’s High Representative
for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
The CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Cybersecurity
Coordination Group (CSCG) will finalize
and present a set of recommendations
for strengthening the security of Europe’s

CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Defence and Security
Our societies are increasingly being confronted
with various kinds of security threats, including
man-made threats such as terrorism and
organized crime, natural disasters, pandemics
and major technical accidents. The ability of the
responsible public authorities and emergency
services to respond to such threats depends on
having common terminology and procedures,
compatible equipment and communication
systems. Standardization can contribute to overcoming fragmentation in this field by increasing
interoperability and compatibility of systems and
products.
• organize a seminar to discuss the
results from various relevant European
research projects and identify possible
needs for new standardization activities in
relation to CBRNE.

Electrotechnology
Electrical engineering
Automation
CENELEC develops European Standards
and it also adopts international standards
(developed and published by the International
Electrotechnical Commission - IEC) as
European Standards, addressing safety,
performance and testing aspects. These
standards support the implementation of
the EU Directives relating to: electromagnetic compatibility (‘EMC’ 2004/108/EC);
radio equipment and telecommunications
terminal equipment (‘R&TTE’ 1999/5/EC)
and low voltage electrical equipment
(‘LVD’ 2006/95/EC). CENELEC also develops
and adopts standards for medium and high
voltage electrical equipment (on a voluntary
basis).
CENELEC works in close cooperation with ETSI
(European Telecommunications Standards
Institute) in the framework of the CENELECETSI Coordination Group on Wireless
Communication for Industrial Automation.
This group coordinates standardization work
in relation to home and building electronic
systems, building automation and control
systems, industrial process measurement,
control and automation. Standards in this area
are important for numerous applications, for
example to enable the realization of the so-called
‘Smart House’.
Resource efficient ICT
CENELEC develops and adopts standards
to support the efficient and sustainable use of
electrotechnical products and systems. The
Technical Committee on ‘Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment’ (CLC/
TC 215) develops standards addressing issues
of energy efficiency and sustainability in relation
to
information
and
communication
technologies (ICT), notably in the framework
of specific requests from the European Commission (mandates M/462 & M/495). This includes
standardization work in relation to data centres,
which are facilities used to house computer
systems and associated components, such as
telecommunications and storage systems.
Electrotechnology
For more information on EcoDesign standards,
see Chapter 10 (Energy).
14
CENELEC will proceed with work to
develop standards for data centre
facilities and infrastructures, as well
as key performance indicators for data
centres.
CENELEC participates in the Telecommunications
Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance
Committee (TCAM), which provides advice to
the European Commission on matters regarding conformity assessment and market surveillance in the framework of the EU Directive
on radio equipment and telecommunications
terminal equipment (‘R&TTE’ 1999/5/EC).
Electronics
CENELEC will:
CENELEC is working on standardization
activities in relation to various issues related
to electronic technologies, such as inductive
charging for small telecommunication devices.
• actively contribute to discussions with
relevant stakeholders on the possibility
of setting up a voluntary European cable
classification system;
CENELEC will:
• develop standards relating to inductive
charging for small telecommunication
devices, and chargers compatible with
a wide range of mobile telephones and
smartphones;
• proceed with work on standards to
ensure electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) with regard to new radio spectrum
allocations and the implementation of
new services;
• continue with work to address safety
requirements in relation to information
technology equipment and exposure to
electromagnetic fields in line with the
requirements of the ‘R&TTE’ Directive
(1999/5/EC).
Cables
CENELEC collaborates with ETSI on a range
of issues that relate to networks for ICT,
implementing new technologies, equipment
and services. Much of the relevant standardization work takes place in the CENELEC
Technical Committees that deal with ‘Electric
Cables’ (CLC/TC 20), ‘Communication cables’
(CLC/TC 46X), ‘Optical fibres and optical fibre
cables’ (CLC/TC 86A), and ‘Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment’
(CLC/TC 215).
Electromagnetic compatibility
CENELEC develops standards that enable
electromagnetic compatibility in line with
relevant EU legislation (EMC Directive
2004/108/EC), mainly through its Technical
Committee ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’
(CLC/TC 210). This TC has started to develop
and adopt standards in relation to ‘Power line
communication apparatus used in lowvoltage installations - Radio disturbance
characteristics - Limits and methods of
measurement’(EN 50561 series).
CENELEC is also undertaking standardization
work that has been requested by the European
Commission to support the implementation of
harmonized technical rules on the allocation
of radio frequencies in the 800 MHz band.
This relates to the switchover from analogue
to digital television broadcasting, which
will make a significant section of the radio
spectrum available for high-speed wireless
internet services.
CENELEC will:
• continue working to develop and adopt
standards in relation to ‘Power line
communication apparatus used in lowvoltage installations’ (EN 50561 series);
• initiate work to support the implementation of harmonized technical rules on
allocating radio frequencies for high-speed
wireless internet services.

Furthermore, the CENELEC Technical
Committee ‘Cable networks for television
signals, sound signals and interactive services’
(CLC/TC 209) is cooperating with ETSI on the
development of standards to facilitate digital
television distribution and interactive services.
• contribute to a preparatory study on
power cables in indoor electrical installations, in support of the EU Ecodesign
Directive (2009/125/EC).

Renewables and
new technologies
Solar energy
Generating electricity from solar energy,
using photovoltaic panels, has become a huge
global industry in recent years. In CENELEC,
the Technical Committee ‘Solar photovoltaic
energy systems’ (CLC/TC 82) develops
European Standards that enable harmonization of technologies in relation to wafers, cells
and terrestrial photovoltaic modules or to BOS
(Balance-of-System) components, interfaces of
photovoltaic systems and system integration.
CENELEC (CLC/TC 82) works closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC/TC 82) to enable the adoption of international standards as European Standards.
A current project of CLC/TC 82 seeks to define
tests on photovoltaic modules with the aim of
reducing as much as possible fire hazards due
to misconnections between these modules and
electrical installations.
CENELEC will:
• develop and publish amendments
to European Standards relating to
construction requirements and junction
boxes for photovoltaic modules (EN 61730
& EN 50548);
• launch preparatory work leading to
the development of standardized test
methods for photovoltaic modules.

are increasingly playing an important role
as sources of energy. The Technical Committee
‘Gaseous and liquid fuels, lubricants
and related products of petroleum, synthetic
and biological origin’ (CEN/TC 19) is responsible
for standardization activities relating to various
aspects of petroleum related products and fuels
derived from mineral oil and also biomass.
Meanwhile, the Project Committee CEN/TC

Ecodesign
Ecodesign is an approach whereby manufacturers seek to minimize the amount of energy
used during the lifecycle of a product. The EU
Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC) establishes a framework for the setting of ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products. In
July 2011, the European Commission asked
the European Standardization Organizations
(CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) to develop European
Standards to support the implementation of the
Ecodesign Directive.
E

It is anticipated that the European Commission
will ask CEN and CENELEC to produce
horizontal Harmonized Standards regarding
the recyclability, recoverability and reusability
of some energy-related products (also known
as the 3 ‘R’s). This will constitute the next big
challenge for European standardization in the
field of eco-design and energy efficiency.

Across Europe and around the world, countless companies and organizations are looking for ways to
save resources, reduce waste and minimize negative impacts on the environment. Standards can provide
valuable tools for raising environmental performance and responding to customers’ expectations, whilst
also complying with relevant regulations.
The protection of the environment is one of the main horizontal issues addressed by CEN and
CENELEC during the standards development process. The objectives and priorities of European
environmental policies are taken into account when European Standards are being drafted or revised.
Where necessary, new standards are developed in order to support the implementation of European
policies and legislation related to the environment.

development and use of standards incorporating environmental aspects.
Adaptation to climate change
Environment
Standards have a crucial role to play in
helping to make key infrastructure more
resilient and less vulnerable to the impacts
of climate change. CEN and CENELEC are
cooperating with the European Commission to
ensure that standardization contributes to the
successful implementation of the EU Strategy on
adaptation to climate change (COM (2013) 216),
which was adopted in April 2013.
22
Discussions have taken place regarding
the scope of a mandate, under which CEN
and CENELEC will be requested to identify
European Standards that should be revised
or amended with a view to enhancing
the resilience to climate change of key
infrastructures (such as energy infrastructure,
transport

during the development of new European
Standards and other deliverables.
Resource efficiency
CEN will:
Finding ways to use resources (such
as energy and water, for example) more
efficiently is a priority for many kinds of
businesses and other organizations, because it
can deliver benefits in terms of reducing costs,
minimizing waste and preventing negative
environmental impacts.
• continue to develop and finalize
European Standards that support the
implementation of EU legislation in
relation to air quality and air pollution;
Resource efficiency is also the main focus
of one of the seven flagship initiatives adopted
by the European Union in the framework
of the Europe 2020 Strategy. The ‘Roadmap
to a Resource Efficient Europe’ (COM(2011)
571) covers a wide range of areas and sectors
including: ecosystem services, biodiversity,
minerals and metals, water, air, land and
soils, marine resources, food, buildings and
construction, mobility and transport.
CEN and CENELEC intend to launch a
wide-ranging analysis that will identify
ways in which European standardization
activities can contribute to a more efficient use of resources, in line with the EU
‘Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe’.
Air quality
CEN expects to receive requests from the
European Commission for new standards in
relation to stationary source emissions (long
term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs and PCBs),
and ozone precursors.
• develop standards in relation to
automated measuring systems for
particulate matter, and the chemical
composition of particulate matter (EC
mandate M/503);
• develop a standardized automated
method to measure the concentration
of gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl) in
waste gases from industrial installations
(EC mandate M/513);
• prepare a standard method to determine
fugitive and diffuse emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) from certain
industrial sources (EC mandate M/514).
Water quality
CEN’s Technical Committee ‘Water analysis’
(CEN/TC 230) is developing European Standards
for monitoring water quality which will ensure
that national laboratories can measure in a comparable way the chemical and ecological status
of surface and ground waters. These standards
(requested under EC mandate M/424) will
enable the responsible authorities in the
EU Member States to effectively implement the
Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC.
CEN is ready to support the development of
new or revised standards that may be needed to
support the implementation of the new EU
Directive regarding priority substances in the
field of water policy (2013/39/EC). CEN is also
willing to address any standardization needs
that may be identified in the framework of the
European Innovation Partnership on Water.
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Environment
CEN is engaged in a range of standardization
activities that support the European Union’s
policies in relation to air quality and climate.
In recent years, CEN has been involved in
developing European Standards for assessing
and measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
of energy-intensive industries, emissions of
volatile organic compounds (VOC) from diffuse
and fugitive sources in certain industrial sectors,
concentrations of gaseous hydrogen chloride
(HCl) in waste gases from industrial installations,
and particulate matter in ambient air. This work

to the characterization of sludges and soils.
Although food quality standards in the
Single Market are subject to EU legislation,
there is some scope for standardization to
help stakeholders reach a common understanding on environment-related aspects of specific
food products or other agricultural products.
Meanwhile, the CEN Project Committee CEN/
TC 400 is working on the determination and
measurement of specific solid chemical
substances in sludge, bio-waste and soil,

(OHS), is a central concern of standardization
activities across a wide range of sectors within
CEN and CENELEC. OHS is taken into account by
Technical Committees responsible for product
standards, for example in relation to categories of products such as machinery, pressure
equipment and personal protective equipment. It
is also addressed by TCs which deal with various
kinds of hazards or health-related issues such
as noise, vibration, ergonomics or hazardous
substances.
CEN and CENELEC continue to develop standardization activities in relation to specific OHS
issues such as electromagnetic fields generated by electrical equipment (EC mandate M/305),
surface temperatures of electrical equipment
(EC mandate M/346), and workers’ exposure to
electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields
(EC mandate M/351).

restricted areas in workplace environments
to facilitating the use of public transport for
millions of passengers in many of Europe’s
largest cities. Standards are necessary to
ensure interoperability and reinforce the single
market, whilst also addressing data protection,
privacy and information security aspects of
various RFID applications.
‘Cloud computing’ is a phrase used to describe
various kinds of ICT-related activities and
applications that involve a number of computers
connected to each other via the internet, which
allows for communication and data transfer
in real time. Practical examples of ‘Cloud
computing’ include web-based e-mail and data
storage services that can be accessed via the
internet.
European Standards in relation to RFID are
developed by the CEN Technical Committee
CEN/TC 225 ‘Automatic Identification and Data
Capture (AIDC) Technologies and Applications’.
Much of this work takes place in the framework of EC mandate M/436, which concerns the
development of standards for Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to
RFID and systems.
The CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 225
will publish a number of standards in
relation to Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID), dealing with issues such as threat
and vulnerability analysis, and privacy
impact assessments, in accordance with
EC mandate M/436.
Cloud computing services can be extremely
useful and valuable for businesses, public
authorities and other organizations. However,
the increased reliance on such services raises a number of issues, for example in relation
to security and data protection. Appropriate
standards and certification schemes can
contribute to building confidence and trust in
cloud computing services.
CEN has decided to follow-up on the work being
carried out by the European Research Project
CIRRUS by setting up a new Workshop, which
will identify possible standardization needs
in relation to cloud computing. The CIRRUS
project aims to address ‘Certification, Internationalization and Standardization in Cloud
Security’. It is supported by the European
Union’s 7th Framework Programme and is
being implemented by a consortium that
includes Austrian Standards (member of CEN
and CENELEC).

CEN will launch a new Workshop on
‘Certification, Internationalization and
Standardization in Cloud Security’ (linked
with the CIRRUS project), which will
produce a comprehensive overview
of existing standardization activities
and legislation with relevance to cloud

Pressure Equipment
CEN produces European Standards that cover a wide range of products, materials and methods to
ensure an appropriate level of safety in relation to pressure. Many of these are Harmonized Standards
that support the implementation of the EU Directives for Pressure Equipment (97/23/EC) and Simple
Pressure Vessels (2009/105/EC), in accordance with EC mandate M/071.
Some 26 CEN Technical Committees (TCs) are involved in standardization work related to pressure
equipment. In addition, there are another four Technical Committees of ECISS (European Committee
for Iron and Steel Standardization), which is an Associated Standards Body that is linked to CEN for
administrative and legal purposes.
European Standards for water-tube boilers (EN 12952 series) and shell boilers (EN 12953 series)
are currently being revised. Other ongoing activities relate to standards for flanges, pressure testing
and creep (i.e. the effects on materials of high stress levels), as well as the use of non-destructive
testing techniques. ECISS is also working on the development of materials standards based on the EN 10028
series (‘Flat products made of steels for pressure purposes’).
CEN will:
• proceed with revising several parts of the EN 764 series of European Standards on
Pressure Equipment, including standards relating to vocabulary, safety systems, proof testing and creep;
• organize a seminar for stakeholders and produce information materials regarding
guidelines for the design of unfired pressure vessels, based on the EN 13445 series of
European Standards.

Smart Living
Smart and sustainable cities
and communities
The concept of ‘Smart and sustainable cities
and communities’ refers to an overall approach
that integrates new technologies, particularly
ICT (information and communication technologies), with energy, transport and the built
environment. It encompasses a wide range of
aspects - such as energy-efficient buildings,
clean modes of transport, smart electricity
grids and renewable energy sources - for which
standards play an important role.
Recognizing the clear links between this concept and European standardization, CEN,
CENELEC and ETSI have set up a ‘Smart and
sustainable cities and communities’ Coordination Group (SSCC-CG). This group liaises with
various stakeholders (notably in the construction, energy, transport and ICT sectors), facilitates the sharing of relevant information and
enables coordination among the relevant technical bodies of the three European Standardization Organizations (ESOs).
CEN and CENELEC, together with ETSI, are
working in collaboration with ISO’s Technical
Committee ‘Sustainable development in communities’ (ISO TC/268). They are also cooperating with the relevant Directorates-General
of the European Commission, and are actively
involved in the European Innovation Partnership
on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC).
CEN, CENELEC and ETSI will:
Smart Living
• prepare a roadmap and set of
recommendations, including priorities
for new standardization activities linked
to ‘Smart and sustainable cities and
communities’;

Smart homes
CENELEC is currently developing a series of
standards for ‘Home and Building Electronic
Systems’, with a particular focus on control
applications in relation to an open communication system for homes and buildings. These
standards will ensure interoperability between
all the elements of a ‘smart home’ including
ICT services and applications, lighting and
heating systems, advanced electronic devices,
commands and controls.

Maintaining a safe and efficient transport system is of vital importance for Europe’s economy. Many
European companies are world leaders in infrastructure, logistics and manufacturing of transport
equipment and traffic management systems. CEN develops standards in relation to various transport
modes (road, rail and maritime), and relating to horizontal topics such as interoperability, intermodal
transport, intelligent transport systems (ITS) and the transport of dangerous goods.
Road transport
Rail transport
Most standards related to road transport are
defined at global (international) level, and
therefore CEN coordinates its activities in this
field with those of ISO. Nevertheless, a number
of specific standardization activities are being
carried out by CEN at European level, and some
of these activities are associated with requests
issued by the European Commission.
Most European Standards relating to the rail
transport sector are developed in the CEN
Technical Committee ‘Railway Applications’
(CEN/TC 256) and in the CENELEC Technical
Committee ‘Electrical and electronic applications for railways’ (CLC/TC 9X). Many of these
standards support the implementation of the EU
Directives on the interoperability of the European
rail system (2008/57/EC), in the framework of
a request from the European Commission
(mandate M/483).
CEN currently supports ongoing standardization
activities in relation to: ‘On-board Diagnosis
and Information Management’, which concerns
standards for computer-based information
systems installed in cars and other vehicles
(EC
mandate
M/421),
‘Tyre
Pressure
Management Systems’ (EC mandate M/457),
and ‘Seals for Digital Tachograph’ (EC mandate M/502). Another current topic of interest
relates to the development of a ‘vehicle to grid
communication interface’, which would allow
for better planning of re-fuelling and/or
re-charging.
Current standardization activities in relation to
Electric Vehicles and alternative transport fuels
are covered in chapter 10 (Energy).
In relation to urban rail, CEN and CENELEC
have produced a guide (CEN-CENELEC Guide
26, published in June 2013) regarding the
preparation of standards for urban rail systems,
covering design, construction, manufacture,
operations and maintenance aspects (in the
framework of EC Mandate M/486).
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Transport and Packaging
CEN will finalize standards for ‘On-board

relating to ‘Seals for Digital Tachograph’
(EC mandate M/502).
CEN and CENELEC, together with ETSI, support
and maintain the Sector Forum Rail (JPC Rail),
which brings together representatives from the
railway industry (supply industry and networks),
relevant European and international organizations (such as UIC, UNIFE, UITP), Technical
Committee Chairs and project leaders.
The role of this Forum is to coordinate, plan,
programme, promote and facilitate the
production and use of European Standards for
the benefit of the rail sector, and provide advice
to the Technical Boards of CEN and CENELEC.

Transport and packaging – railways and railway applications,
road transport (including electric vehicles), intermodal and
interoperable transport, transport of dangerous goods,
cableways, packaging and packaging waste, etc.
CEN and CENELEC will:
Cableways
• continue to develop standardization
activities in relation to railway
applications such as braking systems,
track safety protection during work,
passenger alarm systems, etc.;
The CEN Technical Committee ‘Safety requirements for passenger transportation by
rope’ (CEN/TC 242) develops harmonized
standards in support of the EU Directive
relating to cableway installations designed to
carry persons (2000/9/EC), in the framework of
EC mandate M/300.
• develop standardization activities in
relation to Urban Rail, including
visible and audible warning devices,
windscreens for trams and metro trains,
etc. (EC mandate M/486);
• maintain their collaboration with
the European Railway Agency (ERA) in
order to ensure European Standards and
Technical Specifications are consistent
with interoperability.
Waterborne transport
CEN and CENELEC develop standards in
relation to both marine transport and inland
navigation. They cooperate closely with the
European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA)
and with the Committee on Safe Seas and the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships (COSS).
Transport and Packaging
Working in collaboration with the ISO Technical
Committee ‘Small Craft’ (ISO/TC 188), CEN has
contributed to the development of more than
55 harmonized standards in support of the EU
Directive on ‘Recreational Craft’ (94/25/EC), in
accordance with EC mandate M/075.
40
CEN and CENELEC will proceed
with work related to the revision of
standards for recreational craft, including
the development of new standards to
address ‘exhaust gas emissions from
marine engines’ and ‘Man-overboard
prevention and recovery’.
CEN will proceed with work to
review and revise European Standards
relating to safety requirements for
passenger transportation by rope
including carriers and carrier trucks,
suspensions of aerial ropeways, brakes,
etc. (EC mandate M/300).
Dangerous goods
CEN and CENELEC cooperate with the
European Commission to develop and publish standards in support of the EU Directives
on the inland transport of dangerous goods
(2008/68/EC) and on Transportable Pressure
Equipment (2010/35/EU).
CEN and CENELEC also cooperate with the
United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe (UN ECE), which also plays a
central role in regulating the transport of
dangerous goods, notably in the framework of
the European Agreement concerning the
International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road (ADR). Rules relating to the transport of
dangerous goods by rail are provided by RID,
which is part of the Convention concerning
International Carriage by Rail (COTIF).
CEN and CENELEC will propose a series
of revised standards on tank vessels and
cylinders to the UN ECE working party
on the safe and secure transport of
dangerous goods, so that references can
be included in the 2015 edition of the
relevant regulation (RID/ADR).

Intelligent Transport Systems
Packaging
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) use
information and communication technologies
(ICT) in order to control traffic flow, collect road
tolls (electronic fee collection), provide timely
traffic and safety information, notify accidents
(‘e-Call’) and give priority to emergency vehicles.
European
standards
in
relation
to
packaging are developed by the CEN
Technical Committee on
‘Packaging’
(CEN/TC 261). These standards take account
of
relevant
legislative
requirements
concerning the quality, safety and hygiene of
packaged products, as well as environmental aspects of packaging and packaging waste
(EU Directives 94/62/EC and 2004/12/EC).
ITS can contribute to a cleaner, safer and
more efficient transport system. They have
therefore become the focus of a number of
policy and legislative initiatives at European
level. The European Commission has laid down
the legal framework in order to accelerate
the deployment of ITS across Europe and
has requested the European Standardization
Organizations
to
develop
and
adopt
European Standards in support of this
framework (mandate M/453).
CEN will pursue discussions with the
European Commission on transposing
the CEN collection and harmonizing
the published ISO standards related to
packaging and the environment, in line
with the provisions of EU Directives on
Packaging and Packaging Waste.
European
standards
and
technical
specifications in the domain of Intelligent
Transport Systems (ITS) are being developed
by
the
CEN
Technical
Committee
‘Intelligent Transport Systems’ (CEN/TC
278). These standards provide harmonized
technical solutions thereby helping to ensure
interoperability across countries. CEN and
CENELEC cooperate closely with ETSI and
ISO in order to ensure a coherent approach to
standardization on this topic.

Related Activities
International cooperation
The international cooperation activities of CEN
and CENELEC contribute to facilitating market
access for European companies, enhancing the
global competitiveness of European industries,
and removing or reducing technical barriers to
trade throughout the world.
International cooperation, which involves
developing dialogue, technical exchanges
and partnerships with key standardization
actors around the world, is a key priority for
CEN and CENELEC. The main aims of such
activities include: increasing awareness and
understanding of the European Standardization
System; promoting the adoption of identical
standards by third countries; and facilitating the
alignment of positions and the harmonization
of standards at international level, so that
businesses may benefit from a level playing
field and access to new markets.
In order to coordinate their international
cooperation activities and ensure a coherent
approach in their relations with standardization bodies in other parts of the world, the three
European
Standardization
Organizations
(ESOs) work closely together in the framework
of
the
CEN-CENELEC-ETSI
External
Relations Committee (ERC). The ERC meets on
a regular basis to discuss the development
and implementation of various international
cooperation activities and ensure coordination
among the three ESOs, in close collaboration
with the European Commission and EFTA.
Related Activities
Relations with ISO and IEC
42
CEN and CENELEC cooperate closely with the
international standardization organizations
ISO and IEC through the Vienna and Dresden
agreements. This cooperation supports
the alignment of standards and technical
specifications in relation to specific sectors
and topics, and thereby contributes to reduced
compliance costs and economies of scale for
European businesses. Overall, some 31% of
CEN publications are identical to or based
on ISO publications, while 75% of CENELEC
publications are identical to or based on IEC
publications.
CEN and CENELEC will seek to further
develop their policy coordination with
ISO and IEC, and improve European
performance in international standardization. Emphasis will be put on ensuring that
innovative European sectors play a
leading role in standardization.
A strong focus will be placed on
facilitating the uptake of relevant
European leading technologies by ISO
and IEC, and on providing flexible and
efficient processes and products that
will enhance Europe’s competitiveness.
Our technical exchanges and dialogue
with international partners will be
strengthened, focusing on key sectors
for the European economy.
Relations with regional
standardization organizations
The
European
Standardization
Model
represents an efficient and effective system
of co-regulation. This model has inspired
several regional standardization organizations
around the world to consider its strengths and
identify elements that could be transposed into
their systems.
CEN and CENELEC, through their close
relationships
with
other
regional
standardization
organizations,
continue to promote the benefits of the European
Standardization System. Based on signed
Memoranda of Understanding, CEN and
CENELEC provide their partners with examples
of best practices, updated activity reports
and assistance (including seminars and workshops). They also exchange work programmes
and discuss strategically important topics with
the aim of reaching a common understanding
at international level.
CEN and CENELEC will lead activities
designed to increase understanding of
the European Standardization Model
and its benefits, and to provide adequate
support to those regions that are
looking
to
align
their
Quality
Infrastructures (QI) to those of the
EU. Specific actions will include
coordinated
involvement
in
technical
assistance
programmes
and the publication of a guide on the
European Standardization Model.
CEN and CENELEC will deepen their
cooperation
with
the
regional
standardization
organizations
of
Africa
(ARSO
and
AFSEC)
and
South America (AMN) on the basis of
joint activities that were agreed in 2013.
They will also seek to develop their
cooperation
with
the
Euroasian
Interstate Council for Standardization,
Metrology and Certification (EASC).
Furthermore,
through
the
newly
established
Technical
Assistance
Platform, CEN and CENELEC will ensure
full coordination with their members
in order to effectively contribute to the
implementation of future technical
assistance projects, so that the European
QI model may be shared and promoted.
Relations with national
standardization actors
More than 550 European Standards published
by CEN and CENELEC have been adopted
by third countries, mostly relating to the
construction and railway sectors. Our
objective for the coming period is to extend
the adoption of standards to other
important sectors, there by providing European
companies with greater market access.
European standardization will continue to play a key role in trade
discussions with countries and regions
outside Europe, with a view to fostering
a coherent understanding of European
standards and regulations in countries
that are major trade partners.
The ongoing negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership
(TTIP) between the EU and the USA will
increasingly focus on standardization
issues, and, to support the regulators,
CEN and CENELEC are committed
to reaching an agreement with
the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) to formalize the
cooperation between the European and
US Standardization Systems. CEN and
CENELEC will also assess the need
to complement their cooperation with
ANSI by negotiating specific agreements
with relevant standards developing
organizations (SDOs) in the USA.
Discussions on trade agreements with
Japan, India, and the ASEAN countries
(among others), will be supported by technical input and concrete proposals from
CEN and CENELEC – notably in relation
to TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade).
Moreover, CEN and CENELEC will continue to actively support the EU’s regulatory
dialogues with Russia, China and Japan,
and look for opportunities to contribute to
discussions on standardization-related
issues in the framework of regulatory
dialogues with other countries.
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Related Activities
CEN and CENELEC cultivate close relationships with the national standardization
bodies and electrotechnical committees of
numerous countries around the globe. These
partnerships ensure that the main objectives of
removing technical barriers to trade and cutting
compliance costs are extended to the European
Neighbourhood Policy countries and beyond.
In 2014, these partnerships will be reviewed
and further strengthened to extend the
benefits of the European Standardization
System outside the current membership,
and consequently to encourage the adoption
of standards that are identical to European
Standards by third countries.
43
Projects supported by
CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CENELEC cooperate closely with
ETSI, the European Commission and the
EFTA Secretariat on the implementation of
projects that contribute to ensuring that the
European Standardization System is better
known and understood in key countries of
economic importance.
The Seconded European Standardization
Expert projects in India and China will be utilized
for establishing and maintaining dialogue with
the relevant standardization actors in these
countries, exchanging knowledge and information
about ongoing standardization activities, and
improving their knowledge and understanding
of the European Standardization System.
Supporting SME participation
Some 99% of all businesses in Europe are small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with less
than 250 full-time employees. These companies
provide around two-thirds of all private sector
jobs and account for more than half of the total
value created by businesses in the EU.
Related Activities
However, SMEs are often under-represented
in standardization activities, and in many
cases they might not be fully aware of the
ways in which standards are relevant for their
business, and how they could benefit from
getting involved in the development of
standards at national or European level.
44
The need to encourage and support the
participation of SMEs in the European
standardization
system
has
been
highlighted in the European Commission’s
policy document on ‘a strategic vision for
European
standards’
(COM(2011)311),
published in June 2011, and in the EU Regulation
on European Standardization (1025/2012),
which was adopted by the EU institutions in
2012.
In this context, CEN and CENELEC together
with their national members have strengthened
their efforts to better address SMEs’ needs,
get more SMEs involved in standardization
activities and demonstrate the added value of
their participation.
CEN and CENELEC will continue to
promote and support the participation
of SMEs in standardization activities,
in particular by:
• further
promoting
awareness,
understanding and take-up of the various
tools, products and services that CEN
and CENELEC currently provide for
the benefit of SMEs - including the
‘SME Toolbox of Solutions’ (launched in
2012) and the network of national SME
helpdesks hosted by CEN and CENELEC
members;
• identifying and engaging in dialogue
with relevant networks, organizations
and other actors, and inviting them to
become partners in CEN and CENELEC’s
ongoing efforts to get more SMEs
actively involved in standardization;
• developing
a
more
detailed
understanding of the standardization
needs of various types of SMEs in
different sectors of activity, in order
to enable a more differentiated and
targeted approach;
• producing an interactive online
educational tool that will enable
entrepreneurs and people who work
for SMEs to learn about standards
and standardization in a way that
corresponds with their own needs.
The ‘CEN-CENELEC eLearning tool
for SMEs’ will eventually be available in
22 languages (free of charge).
Including societal stakeholders
CEN and CENELEC are committed to facilitating and supporting the participation of societal
stakeholders in the European standardization
system. These stakeholders include organizations concerned with defending the interests of
consumers, protecting the environment, and
promoting the health and safety of workers.
The
active
involvement
of
societal
stakeholder representatives in the standards
development process ensures that European
Standards take into account the needs and
concerns of consumers, workers and the wider
society, alongside the latest scientific and
technical knowledge. The participation of these
stakeholders in the European Standardization
System is supported by dedicated umbrella
organizations at European level.
as well as the benefits of getting
actively involved in the standards
development process;
• finalize a proposal for developing
an interactive online educational tool
that will enable societal stakeholder
representatives
to
learn
about
standards and standardization in a way
that correspond to their own needs;
• proceed with developing further
activities that could contribute to
increasing
societal
stakeholders’
awareness of and participation in
relevant standardization activities at
both European and national levels.
CEN and CENELEC have established a
Societal Stakeholders Group (SSG), which
provides a framework for their ongoing
cooperation
and
dialogue
with
these
European umbrella organizations, namely:
ANEC (the European Consumer Voice
in Standardization), ECOS (the European
Environmental Citizens Organization for
Standardization), and ETUI (the European Trade
Union Institute – Health and Safety Department).
CEN and CENELEC, working in close
cooperation
with
the
competent
European organizations (ANEC, ECOS
and ETUI), will continue to develop and
implement a series of initiatives that
are designed to support the active
involvement of societal stakeholders in
the European Standardization System.
In this framework, CEN and CENELEC
will:
Related Activities
• launch an online Toolbox for
Societal
Stakeholders
(on
the
CEN-CENELEC website) that will help
consumer
groups,
environmental
organizations and trade unions to better
understand how they can participate,
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014

Education about standardization
CEN and CENELEC will focus on:
Businesses, public bodies and other types of
organizations can gain important benefits from
applying and using standards – in terms of vital
issues such as quality and performance, health
and safety, energy efficiency, environmental
impact, connectivity and interoperability. But
in order to get the full benefit from standards,
organizations need access to knowledge about
standards and standardization. The best way
to achieve this is to make sure that such
knowledge is available ‘in house’ – by having
managers and staff who are familiar with the
world of standards and standardization.
• evaluating where education about
standardization is most needed, which
gaps need to be filled and which stakeholders need to be involved;
Having a good understanding of standards
and standardization can be useful for
people involved in all kinds of professional
activities – from construction and engineering
to marketing or public procurement. Raising
the level of awareness and knowledge about
standardization is therefore important both for
the professional development of individuals
and for the economic prosperity of Europe as
a whole.
Related Activities
A number of valuable initiatives to foster
education
about
standardization
have
already been developed and launched in
several European countries. However, a
significant
scaling-up
is
required.
Education and training providers, as well as
policy-makers, need to be made aware
about the benefits of integrating relevant
information and knowledge regarding standards and standardization in their curricula.
46
CEN and CENELEC have adopted a
Masterplan
on
Education
about
Standardization, which sets out their
strategy for promoting education and training
in relation to standards and standardization in
the coming years. This Masterplan provides
a framework for orchestrated action
involving major stakeholders, with common
leadership,
initiatives
and
vision
at
European level, supporting the development
and implementation of specific actions at
national level.
• supporting CEN and CENELEC
members to manage their Education
about Standardization initiatives at
national level;
• further enhancing the recognition
of standardization as a valuable and
useful field of activity through the
development of a ‘competences label’
scheme for experts who participate in
standardization activities.
