  4. European Standard - EN • Normative document • Available in the 3 official CEN languages (English, French, German) • Does not conflict with the content of any other CEN/CENELEC standard • Value of EN derives from characteristics of its development

  5. Characteristics of development Drafting of the EN in TC or TC/WG CEN Enquiry Formal Vote Standstill Implementation (dop and dow) • Consensus • Openness and transparency • National commitment • Technical coherence at national and European level

  6. EN Process What do I want? Proposal Can I do it? Planning I’ll put it on paper Drafting Suitable for everybody? Consensus Any comments? CEN Enquiry Accepted by everybody? Formal Vote Make it available Adoption Is it still valid? Review

  7. CEN Enquiry • To assess possible agreement to adopt a draft document as an EN by: • Circulation of a draft document for public comments at national level (public enquiry) • Consolidation of national views on the draft document

  8. Standstill - Working together towards one goal • No national individual action, during the preparation or after the approval of an EN, that would prejudice the European work • No publication or revision of national standard not in line with an existing EN

  9. Implementation • CEN National Members implement an EN by: • Giving it the status of national standard i.e. • publication of an identical text • endorsement • Withdrawing any conflicting national standards

  10. Technical Specification - TS

  11. Technical Specification – CEN/TS • Normative document produced and approved by TC • No standstill • No public Enquiry • Technical Committee Approval (TCA) • Produced at least in one CEN official language • Review: at least every 3 years

  12. Purpose • A CEN/TS is established with the purpose of: • publication of aspects in support of the European market • guidance • specifications in evolving technologies and experimental circumstances • But also when a WI that is to become an EN has: • insufficient support at CEN Enquiry • no consensus before Formal Vote

  13. Reminder • CEN/TSs may compete with each other • CEN/TSs do not conflict with the content of any CEN/CENELEC standards • The CEN/TS must be withdrawn if the publication of a subsequent EN brings the CEN/TS into conflict with that EN
