Comité Européen de Normalisation ( home site )
(EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR STANDARDIZATION)
<<
CEN's mission is to promote voluntary technical harmonization in Europe in conjunction with worldwide bodies and its partners in Europe.
Harmonization diminishes trade barriers, promotes safety, allows interoperability of products, systems and services, and promotes common technical understanding.
In Europe, CEN works in partnership with CENELEC - the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization ( www.cenelec.org ) and ETSI - the European Telecommunications Standards Institute ( www.etsi.org ).
