  1. StandardisationA tool to solve complex challenges and enhance the “return” from research projects Ir André P I R L E T CEN Management Centre www.cen.eu NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  2. CENA System and ... An association of: • 30 Members (National Standardisation Bodies) • 2 Counsellors: EC and EFTA • 7 Associate Members • 4 Affiliates (other NSB) • CEN Management Centre (CMC) NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  3. CEN… a Network with partners: • Co-operation with ISO (Vienna Agreement) • CENELEC and ETSI (JPG) • 500+ trade and professional bodies in liaison with Technical Committees NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  4. Aim To implement voluntary standardization throughout Europe in order: • to meet market needs, • to remove technical barriers to mobility and trade • to provide technical support to European legislation in conjunction withISO and/or public or private organizations representing European or worldwide interests NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  5. Standards ... • Increase safety and allow interoperability • Increase understanding and information transfer • Promote competitiveness of industry and increases competition • Are the basis for agreement on the design, manufacture, performance and testing of products, services, or operations • Are greatly dependent on input from R&D NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  6. CEN: Values and Principles • Transparent, consensus based working forum open to all interested parties • Standstill, national commitment, binding decision and national transposition with withdrawal of conflicting standards (EN!) • Freely agreed, voluntarily applied and verifiable compliance, coherent set of specifications • State of the art, 3 or 5-yearly review NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  7. The Standardization Process • Agree new work as needed • Drafting by experts • Wider consultation (or public enquiry) • Comments resolution • Confirmation and adoption • National availability • CEN Technical Committee • CEN Workshop NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  8. CEN publications Origin TC: • The European Standard (EN) • The Technical Specifications (TS) • The CEN Technical Report (TR) Origin CW • The CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  12. Guidance for choice of deliverable NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  13. Guidance for approach NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  14. A role in ... • e.g. the Council Directive 98/34/EC • e.g. the Council Resolution of 7 May 1985 on the “New Approach“ (NA) • Legislation limited to ‘Essential Requirements’ and Technical specifications entrusted to competent organizations • ‘Presumption of Conformity’ to the Essential Requirements of these NA Directives NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  15. Vienna AgreementbetweenISO - CEN = agreement on technical cooperation • Concluded in 1991 and ‘Codified’ in 2001 • further detailed in Guidelines • Ensures primacy of international standards over regional standards • Recognizes that specific needs or urgency may require European standards while there is no such need at international level NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  16. Vienna AgreementModes of Cooperation • Exchange of information at CMC - ISO/CS level • Work by correspondence and contributions • Mutual representation at meetings of technical entities as requested • Adopting existing ISO standards as ENs • Transfer of work from CEN to ISO • Simultaneous parallel approval procedures and final availability of standards NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  17. CEN system can: Provide neutral and independent platform of all interested partners to elaborate or validate specifications as agreements or standards, simultaneously at national, European and international level NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  18. CEN system can: Ensure a common reference on e.g. terminology, qualifications,specifications, declaration of conformity, understood in the same way throughout sectors and Europe, in the needed languages NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  19. CEN system can: Give the result a wider transparency, visibility, image and availability in a maintained and coherent collection, at national level with respect of sector, localisation and cultural values with central ownership and systematic review by interested parties NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  20. Relevant CEN activities • CEN/BTWG 70 STAR : “Standardization and Research” • CEN/BTWG 161 : “Protection and Security of the Citizen” • CEN/ISSS: ICT standardization • More info on : www.cen.eu and http://www.cen.eu/cenorm/businessdomains/sectors/isss/index.asp NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  21. Difficulties Standard R & D Extra Legislation Complementary Measures Ambitious objectives NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  22. Mutual interest RTD & Standardisation • Systematic use of the “INTEGRATED APPROACH” to maximise the impact for applied research • Tailoring of studies on testing methods on the basis of CEN needs for research • Adding Standardisation in Research proposals for wide dissemination of the output of research NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems

  23. CEN is ready to help ! NISIS Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems
