Its goal is to ensure safety, interoperability, and quality while facilitating trade and innovation. CENELEC collaborates with industry experts, governments, and other standardization bodies to create guidelines that manufacturers follow, helping to ensure their products meet consistent European requirements. This promotes consumer confidence and smooth cross-border commerce within the European market.
