The European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a voluntary organization that develops and maintains technical standards across Europe to ensure products, services, and systems are safe, reliable, and compatible. It brings together national experts from various industries and sectors to create common rules that facilitate trade, improve quality, and protect consumers and the environment. By harmonizing standards across countries, CEN helps businesses operate more efficiently and consumers to have confidence in the products and services they use daily.
