European Committee for Standardization

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is an organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards for a wide range of products and services across Europe. These standards help ensure compatibility, safety, and quality, making it easier for businesses to operate across borders and for consumers to trust that products meet certain criteria. By harmonizing standards, CEN promotes trade, innovation, and consumer protection, contributing to a more integrated European market. Its work involves collaboration among national standardization bodies, industry experts, and stakeholders to address various sectors and emerging challenges.
