EN (European Standard)

European Standards (EN) are technical guidelines established by European organizations to ensure products, services, and systems meet consistent quality, safety, and performance criteria across Europe. They facilitate market access, interoperability, and consumer protection by harmonizing requirements among different countries. EN standards are developed through a consensus process involving industry experts, regulators, and stakeholders, and once adopted, they become mandatory for certain products or industries within the European Economic Area. Essentially, they serve as a common language and benchmark, helping ensure that goods and services are reliable and safe throughout Europe.
