CEN/TC 20 (CEN Technical Committee 20)

CEN/TC 20 is a committee within the European Committee for Standardization responsible for developing technical standards related to shipbuilding, specifically electrical and electronic systems on ships. Its role is to create uniform guidelines and specifications that ensure safety, interoperability, and efficiency across the maritime industry in Europe. These standards help manufacturers, operators, and regulators work together smoothly, ensuring ships' electrical systems are reliable and compliant with safety requirements. Essentially, CEN/TC 20 helps ensure that marine electrical systems meet consistent high-quality standards across Europe.
