European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is an organization that develops and publishes standards to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency across various industries in Europe. Established in 1961, CEN brings together national standardization bodies from European countries to create unified standards that facilitate trade, enhance collaboration, and promote innovation. These standards cover a wide range of areas, including products, services, and processes, helping companies meet legal requirements and consumer expectations. By harmonizing standards, CEN contributes to a more integrated European market and supports the free movement of goods and services across member states.
