2013 was a challenging year for CEN and CENELEC . We had to adapt ourselves to a new legal landscape, following the entry into force of EU Regulation 1025/2012, which has led to significant consequences for CEN and CENELEC and for our members . At the same time, we have also been asked to “do more with less” - as the expectations being placed on our organizations have continued to grow, while our resources have become increasingly stretched .

Overall, we can say that the new legal framework for European standardization contains many positive elements, including official recognition and an enhanced legal status for the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) . Regulation 1025/2012 also underlines the need to ensure that all the relevant stakeholders - including small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and so-called ‘societal stakeholders’ (representing consumers, workers and environmental concerns) - are able to access standards and contribute to standardization activities .

In CEN and CENELEC, we are ready to play our part in making standardization more transparent, more accessible and more inclusive . This includes publishing an annual Work Programme, which provides a consolidated overview of our ongoing and future standardization activities for the benefit of all our stakeholders . We have also invested in improving our websites and providing information that is relevant to different target groups - including online toolboxes aimed at SMEs and societal stakeholders, and publications like ‘Standards and your business’ .

We want to make it as easy as possible for different stakeholders to get involved in European standardization . This is why, in 2013, CEN and CENELEC adopted a common framework for partnerships that offers a range of options for European organizations and other stakeholders that wish to contribute to the development of European standards . By the end of March 2014, more than 140 stakeholder organizations had been accorded the status of Partner Organization or Liaison Organization by CEN and/or CENELEC .

The application of Regulation 1025/2012 means that new obligations are being placed on the European Standardization Organizations and also on the national members of CEN and CENELEC . We have worked intensively, and in close liaison with the European Commission, in order to ensure that we fulfil these obligations, and to help our members deal with the increased administrative burden . Our efforts in this regard have included the development of new IT tools to facilitate our members’ compliance with additional reporting requirements .

From the perspective of CEN and CENELEC, the implementation of Regulation 1025/2012 will only be successful if it is done in a smart way, on the basis of close cooperation and mutual trust among all the parties involved . The partnership between public and private actors, which forms the basis of the European Standardization System, needs to be maintained and further reinforced .

The European Commission has launched an independent review of the European Standardization System . CEN and CENELEC are actively contributing to this exercise, which is looking at how well standards respond to market needs, as well as the inclusiveness of the system and the effective participation of different stakeholders in the development of standards . The review will also aim to assess how standardization contributes to the European Union’s strategic objectives - particularly in relation to industrial policy, innovation and technological development .

While we have been adapting to a new legal framework, we have also focused on our core business of developing and publishing European Standards and other deliverables . In 2013, CEN and CENELEC published a total of 1523 new documents, covering a wide range of products and services, processes and test methods, definitions and specifications .

In order to produce our standards, CEN and CENELEC depend on all the experts who generously give their time to participate in more than 450 Technical Committees and Sub-Committees, as well as around 1700 Working

sure that the standards we produce are of the highest quality and that they meet the needs of the market and all our stakeholders . This means collecting and combining knowledge and expertise from across the whole of Europe, and consulting with various interested parties in order to achieve the widest consensus for the largest market, which also requires close cooperation with the international standardization organizations (ISO and IEC) .

There can be no doubt that we are living though challenging times, with the introduction of a new legal framework at European level, increasingly fierce international competition and major technological advances affecting every industry, the ongoing effects of a prolonged economic downturn and long-term threats to the financial sustainability of standardization . Nevertheless, I am convinced that in CEN and CENELEC we have the capability and the willingness to adapt to changing circumstances, to seize opportunities and to address the challenges that face us .

On behalf of CEN and CENELEC, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our achievements in 2013, including: the Presidents, Vice-Presidents and Board Members of CEN and CENELEC; our members, affiliates and partners; all of the experts who participate in our technical bodies and all of the stakeholders who cooperate with us; as well as the committed and motivated staff of the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre in Brussels . We are most grateful for all of your contributions, and please be aware that your extraordinary dedication will also be vital for achieving our Ambitions to 2020!

Groups . Indeed, we estimate that some 80 000 individuals are directly involved in our activities at European level . However, this number represents only a small fraction of all the people, businesses and other stakeholders who contribute via our national members in 33 countries, by taking part in mirror committees or responding to public consultations .

Around one third of all our standardization activities are developed in response to formal requests from the European Commission (EC), known as Mandates . In 2013, CEN and CENELEC accepted 27 requests from the European Commission . We also adopted and published 373 harmonized standards that support the implementation of EU policies and legislation, and enable businesses to comply with the requirements of EU legislation .

However, it would be wrong to assume that only those standards which are developed in the framework of EU Directives and EC Mandates are delivering added value to Europe . Indeed, we can say that all of the standards we adopt in CEN and CENELEC contribute to supporting European industry and reinforcing the Single Market . The availability of European Standards, which are recognized and accepted in all of the 33 countries covered by our members, and often in other countries as well, opens up new business opportunities and reduces costs for companies of all sizes .

One of the most common misunderstandings related to European Standards concerns the amount of time it takes to develop, adopt and publish them . We fully understand the need to keep our standards up-to-date, and in CEN and CENELEC we have already taken huge steps to speed-up the development process . Since 2006, we have succeeded in reducing the average development time for European Standards by over 50% - from just over five years to less than two-and-a-half years . So we have come a long way!

Even so, it is important to understand that when it comes to developing standards, speed is not everything . In CEN and CENELEC, we are especially concerned with making

The PC oversees the development of joint technical activities and the setting up of joint CEN-CENELEC Technical Committees and Working Groups . It also deals with strategic issues relating to the European Standardization System as a whole, and the ongoing cooperation among the three European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) . This cooperation is managed by the Presidents of the three organizations, who meet together on a regular basis as the ‘CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Joint Presidents’ Group’ - or JPG .

The CEN-CENELEC Presidential Committee for 2014Standing (from left to right): Jorge Marques dos Santos (CEN Vice-President Finance), Doede Bakker (CENELEC Vice-President Policy), Elena Santiago Cid (Director General of CEN and CENELEC), Scott Steedman (CEN Vice-President Policy), Bogdan Topi (CENELEC Vice-President Finance). Seated (from left to right): Gudrún Rögnvaldardóttir (CEN Vice-President Technical), Tore Trondvold (CENELEC President), Friedrich Smaxwil (CEN President), Uwe Kampet (CENELEC Vice-President Technical).

The CEN-CENELEC Presidential Committee (PC) is composed of the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of CEN and CENELEC (and, when applicable, their Presidents-Elect), plus the Director General of CEN and CENELEC . The PC is mandated by the Administrative Boards (CAs) of both organizations to address policy and strategic issues of common concern to CEN and CENELEC (not including sector-specific issues) .

The Presidential Committee deals with a wide range of issues, including issues related to: membership (applications from potential new members, affiliates, etc .); relations with the European institutions; relations with societal stakeholder organizations; international cooperation activities; common communication and visibility activities; linking standardization with research and innovation; the optimization of resources, etc .

In those areas where CEN and CENELEC have decided to develop joint activities, the PC may set up joint advisory bodies or working groups . These include the CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group on Education about Standardization (JWG-EaS), the CEN-CENELEC ‘Small and Medium-sized Enterprises’ Working Group (SME-WG) and the CEN-CENELEC Societal Stakeholders Group (SSG) .

In order to comply with all of the reporting requirements contained in the Regulation, it has been necessary to develop new procedures to facilitate the collection and exchange of information between CEN and CENELEC and their members . In order to manage this process in an efficient way, CEN and CENELEC established a ‘Regulation Reporting Group’, chaired by the CEN Vice-President Technical, consisting of representatives appointed by their national members .

During 2013, the CEN-CENELEC ‘Regulation Reporting Group’ analysed the requirements contained in Regulation 1025 and developed a reporting template, which provided a basis for the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) to develop an online reporting tool . This tool supports the national members by facilitating their compliance with the new Regulation, and it also enables CEN and CENELEC to collect the information they need from their members in a consistent, efficient and systematic way .

CEN and CENELEC have also revised their membership criteria in order to ensure that these are consistent with the requirements contained in Regulation 1025 . The third edition of CEN-CENELEC Guide 20 ‘Guide on membership criteria of CEN and CENELEC’, published in July 2013, includes detailed guidance to members regarding the preparation of annual work programmes, the transparency and openness of the standards development process, and issues relating to the participation of SMEs and other stakeholders in standardization activities .

CEN and CENELEC are committed to ensuring that they and their members comply with the reporting requirements contained in Regulation 1025/2012, and they are also determined to make sure that the information collected is used to support the continuous improvement of the European Standardization System . The data collected from national members will allow examples of good practice to be identified, analysed and shared throughout the CEN and CENELEC communities .

* The Regulation on European Standardization (1025/2012) was formally approved by the European Parliament and by the Council of the European Union in 2012, and has been published in the Official Journal of the EU (Issue L316 - 14 November 2012) .

■ ADAPTING TO A NEW LEGAL FRAMEWORK

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC reviewed and adapted their practices and procedures in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the new legal framework for European standardization, which entered into force on 1 January 2013 .

Regulation (EU) 1025/2012* gives official recognition to CEN and CENELEC (alongside ETSI) as European Standardization Organizations, and it also underlines the important role played by the members of CEN and CENELEC (national standardization bodies) in the development and adoption of European Standards, in accordance with the national delegation principle .

The Regulation confirms that European Standards and other standardization deliverables are voluntary, and that the development of standards should be driven by the needs of the market . It recognizes that European Standards facilitate the free movement of goods and services and help to boost the competitiveness of enterprises . It also notes the broad impact of standards on society (in terms of public safety, the environment, accessibility, etc .) .

The Regulation recognizes that European Standards play a very important role within the European Single Market, and in the case of ‘harmonized standards’ (developed in the framework of Mandates from the European Commission) they can enable manufacturers to show that their products comply with EU legislation . European standardization also supports the implementation of EU policies addressing major societal challenges, such as: promoting accessibility, consumer protection, sustainable use of resources, climate change, innovation and workers’ safety .

Regulation 1025/2012 imposes a series of requirements on the European Standardization Organizations and on the national standardization bodies (i .e . the Members of CEN and CENELEC) . These requirements relate to the publication of work programmes, the transparency of the standards development process, and the participation of all relevant stakeholders - including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), consumer organizations, environmental and social stakeholders, and public authorities - in standardization activities .

Each European Standardization Organization and every national standardization body should publish a work programme, at least once a year, with information on the standards and deliverables that it intends to prepare (or amend) . CEN and CENELEC are obliged to submit annual reports to the European Commission, with detailed information regarding their activities and their compliance with the requirements of Regulation 1025/2012 . The national standardization bodies are also expected to publish annual reports with information on how they are facilitating access to standards by SMEs, and supporting SMEs’ participation in standardization activities .

The framework for European standardization

■ CEN AND CENELEC’S AMBITIONS TO 2020

The close collaboration between CEN and CENELEC took a significant step forward in 2013, when the members of both organizations decided to jointly adopt a set of strategic goals . The document ‘CEN and CENELEC’s ambitions to 2020’ provides a common framework within which the two organizations will develop their activities in the coming years .

‘CEN and CENELEC’s ambitions to 2020’ is the name of the document that was approved by the members of CEN and CENELEC at their General Assemblies (AGs) in Copenhagen on 20 June 2013 . The document sets out a series of six ambitions, which the two organizations have committed themselves to work towards during the 7-year period from 2013 until 2020 .

The six ambitions were developed by the CEN-CENELEC Presidential Committee on the basis of extensive consultations and discussions with members and other stakeholders . They include: Global influence, Regional relevance, Wider recognition, Network of excellence, Innovation and growth, and Sustainable system .

In order to achieve these ambitions, CEN and CENELEC have decided to develop implementation plans setting out specific actions to be undertaken by each organization and its national members . These plans will be reviewed and adapted on a regular basis, in order to take account of the progress already achieved and other changes in circumstances .

‘CEN and CENELEC’s ambitions to 2020’ is available as a printed publication, and the electronic version (pdf format) may also be found on the CEN-CENELEC website (under ‘About us’ > ‘Mission & objectives’) .

Cybersecurity

The security of information and communication systems (or ‘cybersecurity’) is an area of increasing concern, both for public authorities (from local governments to international organizations) and for private companies (from micro-enterprises to large multinationals) .

The CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Cybersecurity Coordination Group (CSCG) gives advice to the technical boards of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI on political and strategic matters related to IT security, Network and Information Security (NIS) and cybersecurity . This group, chaired by Dr Christian Ehler (Member of the European Parliament), works in close cooperation with the international standardization organizations (ISO and IEC), with overseas partners (notably in the USA), and with the EU institutions - including the European Commission (DG Connect), ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) and the JRC (Joint Research Centre) .

In response to the European Union’s Cybersecurity Strategy, which was adopted in February 2013, the CSCG developed a series of recommendations for how the European Standardization Organizations and the EU institutions should develop their cooperation, with the aim of ensuring that Europe remains in the forefront of standardization activities related to IT security, Network and Information Security (NIS) and cybersecurity . These recommendations were later approved by the Technical Boards of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI as a ‘White Paper’, providing a basis for ongoing discussions with the European Commission and other partners .

In July 2013, CEN and CENELEC signed a collaboration agreement with ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) . This agreement gives ENISA the possibility to nominate experts who may participate in standardization activities at European level, notably in the field of cybersecurity but also regarding other ICT-related topics (such as ‘Smart grids’ or ‘Smart and sustainable cities and communities’) .

■ ENERGY

CEN and CENELEC support a wide range of standardization activities that relate to different aspects of the generation, distribution, management and sustainable use of energy . CEN supports activities in relation to Gas, Bio-fuels and Bio-mass, while CENELEC activities address Electricity, Solar and Wind Energy . At the same time, CEN and CENELEC pursue joint or parallel activities in relation to Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, Energy Management and Energy Efficiency, Electric Vehicles and Alternative Transport Fuels, Fuel Cells, Smart Grids and Smart Metering .

While CEN and CENELEC continue to develop their respective standardization activities in the fields and sectors for which they are responsible, recent years have seen increasing collaboration between the two organizations in a wide range of fields and sectors where they both have a role to play . These fields and sectors include: Defence and Security, Energy, Health and Safety, Healthcare, Smart Living, Space and Transport .

In some cases, CEN and CENELEC are engaged in joint standardization activities, which are managed by joint technical bodies . In other areas, the two organizations are developing separate activities in parallel . Continuous coordination and sharing of information is necessary in order to ensure that these activities are complementary and the resulting European Standards and other deliverables are mutually compatible .

By working together in fields of common interest, CEN and CENELEC are able to pool and share the best available knowledge and expertise from their respective communities . Such collaboration helps to ensure that European Standards and other deliverables are up-to-date and state-of-the-art, and that they meet the needs of industry whilst also taking into account the views of other stakeholders . In certain areas, CEN and CENELEC also collaborate with ETSI (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) .

■ DEFENCE AND SECURITY

Defence

The CEN-CENELEC Stakeholder Forum for Defence Procurement Standardization (SFDPS) was set up in 2010 to help improve the interaction between the military and civilian standardization communities . The SFDPS provides a platform for identifying national defence standards that can be considered for adoption as European Standards . Its members include the European Commission (DG Enterprise and Industry), the European Defence Agency (EDA), the NATO Standardization Agency (NSA), the Organization for Joint Armament Co-operation (OCCAR), ASD-STAN (which provides standards for the European aerospace industry), a number of national defence standardization organizations and ETSI .

The process of adopting new European Standards in the Defence domain based on existing national defence standards, successfully piloted in 2012, was continued in 2013 . Notably, a standard that addressed the friability (ability to break into smaller pieces) of energetic materials (such as explosives or fuels) was proposed for adoption as a European Standard (prEN 16701) .

The database of standards and specifications commonly used to support Defence Procurement contracts, initially developed by CEN Workshop 10, was maintained during 2013 by a ‘Joint Maintenance Committee’ chaired by the European Defence Agency (EDA) . The EDA cooperates with CEN in the framework of a Partnership Agreement, signed in December 2011 .

11CEN and CENELEC have accepted a number of specific requests from the European Commission, which were also issued in the framework of EC Mandate 495 . Consequently, they have initiated further standardization work in relation to: ecodesign measurement methods for power transformers; electrical lamps and related equipment; and professional refrigeration appliances .

Energy Management and Energy Efficiency

European standardization activities related to energy management are coordinated by the CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum Energy Management (SFEM) . This group supports the exchange of information and experiences among experts involved in energy management, energy efficiency and renewables . It monitors developments that could be relevant for standardization, and investigates needs in association with relevant EU legislation and policy targets .

The CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group on ‘Energy audits’ (CEN/CLC/JWG 1) is developing European Standards in relation to energy audits, in response to a request from the European Commission (Mandate 479, issued in December 2010) . These standards will be used to support the implementation of the European Union’s latest Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), under which large businesses (not including SMEs) are obliged to carry out regular energy audits .

Following the publication (in July 2012) of European Standard EN 16247 (Part 1), which specifies general requirements for energy audits, JWG 1 has focused its efforts on developing the next parts in this series . Parts 2 to 4 (to be published in 2014) will set out requirements for energy audits of buildings, processes and transport, while part 5 (expected in 2015) deals with the qualifications of energy auditors .

In 2013, the CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group ‘Guarantees of origin and Energy certificates’ (CEN/CLC/JWG 2) has finalized and published a Technical Report (CEN/CLC/TR 16567) that describes and analyses the various energy efficiency obligation schemes which exist in different European countries .

Meanwhile, the CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum Energy Management (SFEM) has created a new Working Group on Transport to explore and analyse the needs of stakeholders in this sector, and make proposals for new standardization activities .

Ecodesign and Energy Labelling

Ecodesign is an approach whereby manufacturers seek to minimize the amount of energy used during the lifecycle of a product . At EU level, the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC) establishes a framework for setting ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, while the Energy Labelling Directive (2010/30/EU) provides a framework for a common European system of labels that give clear information to consumers regarding the energy consumption of such products .

The European Commission has asked the European Standardization Organizations to develop European Standards to support the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive . Mandate 495, issued in July 2011, is a horizontal mandate covering more than 25 different types of products that use energy or have an impact on the use of energy .

In order to coordinate their standardization activities in this field, CEN and CENELEC have established an Ecodesign Coordination Group (Eco-CG), which brings together representatives from the relevant Technical Committees, from the European Commission, from the CEN and CENELEC Partners as well as from other interested stakeholders . Following their first meeting in April 2013, the members of the Eco-CG have established four Task Forces to address specific aspects (resource efficiency, terminology, tolerances and uncertainty of measurement), and to ensure the liaison with the CEN Project Committee ‘Energy Performance of Buildings’ (CEN/TC 371) .

Within CEN and CENELEC, some 40 Technical Committees have been involved in developing European Standards that set out methods for measuring the energy efficiency of different products, in response to Mandate 495 and other requests issued by the European Commission .

In 2013, a total of 13 new European Standards were published by CEN and CENELEC in support of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations . CEN published six new European Standards relating to air conditioners (EN 12102, EN 12900, EN 14511-2, EN 14511-3, EN 14825 and EN 15218), which were developed by the CEN Technical Committee ‘Heat pumps and air conditioning units’ (CEN/TC 113) in response to EC Mandates 488 and 495 .

Meanwhile, CENELEC published two European Standards in relation to household electric cooking appliances (EN 60350-1 and EN 60350-2) and one relating to tumble driers (EN 61121) under EC Mandate 495, as well as two European Standards relating to refrigerators and freezers (EN 60704-2-14 and EN 62552) under EC Mandate 459, and one relating to vacuum cleaners (EN 60312-1) under EC Mandate 353 . These standards were all developed by the CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Performance of household and similar electrical appliances’ (CLC/TC 59X) .

Furthermore, CENELEC published a European Standard setting out performance requirements for self-ballasted LED lamps (EN 62612), which was developed by the CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Lamps’ (CLC/TC 34A) in the framework of EC Mandate 495 .

Supporting European industry

In 2013, CEN established a new Technical Committee ‘Nuclear energy, nuclear technologies, and radiological protection’ (CEN/TC 430) . The main purpose of this new body is to facilitate the adoption of relevant ISO standards as European Standards, and strengthen the European contribution to standardization activities in this field at international level .

Meanwhile, CENELEC has continued to adopt standards that have been developed at international level by the IEC, through its Technical Committees ‘Instrumentation and control of nuclear facilities’ (CLC/TC 45AX) and ‘Radiation protection instrumentation’ (CLC/TC 45B) .

CENELEC has also pursued its collaboration with the European Commission (Joint Research Centre and DG Energy) and the INOGATE Programme (which supports energy cooperation between the European Union and 12 partner countries), in order to promote the take-up of European Standards related to instrumentation and control of nuclear facilities throughout Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia .

Smart Grids

CEN and CENELEC are collaborating with ETSI on the development of standards to support the deployment of the next generation of electricity distribution networks . So-called ‘Smart Grids’ promise to provide a range of benefits to consumers and producers of electricity, and enable the proliferation of small to medium-scale generation of power from renewable energy sources .

The three ESOs have established a Smart Grid Coordination Group (SG-CG) with four working groups focusing on different aspects of the work that has been requested by the European Commission with regard to the development of standards for Smart Grids (Mandate 490) . In 2013, the SG-CG worked on the development of an extended set of standards supporting smart grids deployment in Europe, which should be finalized by the end of 2014 .

A European Conference on ‘Smart Grid Standardization Achievements’, organized by the European Commission (DG ENERGY) in partnership with the ESOs, was held in Brussels on 28 January 2013 . This event attracted more than 400 participants and provided a valuable opportunity to disseminate and discuss the results of the work carried out by the ESOs in relation to Smart Grids and Smart Metering (in the framework of EC Mandates 490 and 441), as well as the charging of electric vehicles (under EC Mandate 468) .

CEN and CENELEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) on 9 September 2013 . This agreement establishes a framework for continuous cooperation, including regular exchanges of information and expertise, with the aim of ensuring the mutual compatibility of European Standards and Network Codes that are necessary for efficient and reliable electricity distribution in Europe .

Electric Vehicles

The CEN-CENELEC e-Mobility Coordination Group (eM-CG) brings together representatives of CEN and CENELEC members, organizations representing relevant sectors (automotive industry, utilities, consumers, etc .) and the European Commission, which issued a formal request in June 2010 for standards in relation to the charging of electric vehicles (Mandate 468) .

CEN and CENELEC have already published standards ensuring interoperability and connectivity between the electricity supply point and the charger, and also between the on-board charger and the removable battery of an electric vehicle . In 2013, the eM-CG focused mainly on finalizing a report describing a role model and reference architecture for the smart charging of electric vehicles .

Alternative Transport Fuels

The European Union’s Clean Fuel Strategy, which was launched by the European Commission in 2013, includes a proposal for an EU Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (COM(2013) 18) . In this context, CEN and CENELEC have identified a number of specific aspects in relation to which new standardization activities might be necessary . These include infrastructure for hydrogen refuelling points and for natural gas (CNG and LNG) refuelling points, which could be used by motor vehicles or by boats and other waterborne vessels .

CEN and CENELEC have agreed that they will establish the necessary coordination mechanisms as soon as the proposed EU Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure has been published, and the European Commission has issued a formal standardization request (Mandate) to the European Standardization Organizations (expected mid-2014) .

Fuel Cells

Fuel cells are very useful as power sources in remote locations, such as spacecraft, remote weather stations, large parks, rural locations, and in various military applications . They can also be used for the cogeneration of heat and electricity for homes, office buildings and factories, and to provide power for electric or hybrid vehicles .

During 2013, the CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group on Fuel Cells and Gas Appliances worked on developing a new version of the European Standard EN 50465 ‘Gas appliances - Combined heat and power appliance of nominal heat input inferior or equal to 70 kW’, which will replace the previous edition that was published in 2008 .

Nuclear

CEN and CENELEC are collaborating closely with the international standardization organizations ISO and IEC, in order to develop and publish standards that are needed to achieve and maintain high levels of health and safety in Europe’s nuclear energy industry .

13Explosive Atmospheres

CEN and CENELEC coordinate their activities with work being done at international level (by ISO and IEC) on standards for equipment and protective systems used in potentially explosive atmospheres . CEN has a Technical Committee dedicated to ‘Potentially explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection’ (CEN/TC 305), while CENELEC has a Technical Committee that deals with ‘Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres’ (CLC/TC 31) .

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC submitted 9 European Standards (including 4 published by CEN, and 5 published by CENELEC) to the European Commission for citation in the Official Journal of the European Union in association with Directive 94/9/EC (equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres) .

■ HEALTHCARE

European standardization activities in the healthcare sector (which includes medical equipment and eHealth) are coordinated by the ‘CEN-CENELEC Advisory Board for Healthcare Standards’ (ABHS) . This joint body includes representatives of the CEN and CENELEC communities, the European Commission and EFTA, National Health Authorities, organizations representing the interests of consumers (i .e . patients) and other relevant stakeholders .

Within CEN and CENELEC, there are some 20 Technical Committees dealing with different topics that are relevant to the healthcare sector . During 2013, a total of 59 European Standards related to healthcare were published by CEN (53) and CENELEC (6) . More than two-thirds (68%) of these new standards were either revised versions of, or amendments to, existing standards . Keeping European Standards up to date ensures that their content reflects the current ‘state of the art’ and takes account of the latest medical and technological advances .

European Standards published by CEN include EN ISO 10993-10 (developed by CEN/TC 206 ‘Biological evaluation of medical devices’), which describes tests for irritation and skin sensitization, and EN ISO 15197 (developed by CEN/TC 140 ‘In vitro diagnostic medical devices’), which relates to blood-glucose monitoring systems for self-testing by diabetes patients . Other examples include: EN 1499 and EN 1500 (developed by CEN/TC 216 ‘Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics’), which set out methods for testing hygienic handwash and handrub; as well as four parts of the EN ISO 10555 series on intravascular catheters, and two parts of EN ISO 8536 on infusion sets for single use (revised by CEN/TC 205 ‘Non-active medical devices’) .

CENELEC adopted five European Standards that belong to the EN 60601 series of standards on medical electrical equipment, including one dealing with the safety and essential performance of dental intra-oral X-ray equipment (EN 60601-2-65) . These standards were developed by CLC/TC 62 ‘Electrical equipment in medical practice’,

Smart Metering

CEN and CENELEC are working with relevant stakeholders to develop European Standards that support the effective implementation of smart metering systems for electricity, gas, water and heat . This work is being carried out in the framework of EC Mandate 441 (issued in 2009) .

In order to carry out the requested work in an efficient and timely manner, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI decided to combine their expertise and resources by establishing the Smart Meters Coordination Group (SM-CG), with the participation of relevant stakeholders . The SM-CG coordinates the development of relevant standards by the competent technical bodies of the three ESOs .

In 2013, CEN published new versions of two European Standards on communication systems and remote reading of meters (EN 13757-3 and EN 13757-4), which were revised by the CEN Technical Committee ‘Communication systems for meters and remote reading of meters’ (CEN/TC 294) . CEN also published a new European Standard (EN 16314) for additional functionalities of gas meters, which was developed by the CEN Technical Committee ‘Gas meters’ (CEN/TC 237) .

Meanwhile, CENELEC has transposed four standards from the IEC on electricity metering data exchange (parts of the EN 62056 series) . These standards will assist consumers in obtaining timely and accurate information from their meters, taking account of the different market models already in place in different European countries .

■ HEALTH AND SAFETY

The health and safety of workers, consumers and the general public are core concerns for standardization activities across all fields and sectors . In addition, CEN and CENELEC support specific standardization activities in relation to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Explosive atmospheres .

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC set up a new Working Group on ‘Protective textiles and personal protective clothing and equipment’ (CEN-CLC/BTWG 8), which has prepared a work programme for standardization activities to be undertaken in the coming years, in line with a request from the European Commission (EC Mandate 509) . This work programme covers a range of relevant issues including: the integration of electronic devices into PPE; how PPE items can be combined in so-called ‘ensembles’; as well as ergonomics and sustainability aspects .

(EIP-SCC) . CEN and CENELEC have participated in the Sherpas Group of the EIP-SCC and were able to ensure that standardization aspects are included in the Strategic Implementation Plan, which was adopted in October 2013

■ SPACE

The space industry is a growth sector of the global economy and an important source of quality jobs . It is therefore vital for Europe’s economic future that European industry should remain at the forefront of space-based technologies such as satellite communications and navigation .

The joint CEN-CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Space’ (CEN/CLC/TC 5) is responsible for coordinating all standardization activities related to the space industry within CEN and CENELEC . In addition, CEN and CENELEC have also established, together with ETSI, a joint Coordination Group on ‘Space Industry’, with the aim of ensuring a coherent approach to the execution of EC Mandate 496, which was issued by the European Commission in 2011 .

CEN and CENELEC worked intensively during 2013 on no less than 99 different standards within the framework of Mandate 496 (‘standardization regarding the space industry’) . By the end of the year, 10 of these standards were being finalized, 66 had been submitted to the Members of CEN and/or CENELEC for voting, and 23 were still in the process of being drafted .

Also in 2013, CEN and CENELEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization), which brings together the European Space Agency (ESA), several national space agencies and Eurospace (representing the European space industry) . This agreement will enable CEN and CENELEC to benefit from the longstanding expertise of ECSS in the space sector, either through parallel development of standards or the conversion of existing ECSS specifications into European Standards .

which also produced a new version of EN 61674 that relates to technologies used in X-ray diagnostic imaging .

No less than 80% of the European Standards in this sector were developed and adopted in collaboration with the international standardization organizations ISO and IEC, making use of parallel procedures that have been established between CEN and ISO, and between CENELEC and the IEC . This confirms the strong level of support for common global standards among interested stakeholders including manufacturers, healthcare providers and regulators .

Over 75% of the standards published by CEN and CENELEC in this sector are ‘harmonized standards’, which were developed to support the implementation of European legislation, namely the Directives on Medical Devices (93/42/EEC), Active Implantable Medical Devices (90/385/EEC) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (98/79/EC) . These standards enable manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with the essential requirements of the relevant Directives, thereby protecting the health and safety of patients and healthcare professionals .

■ SMART LIVING

Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities

The concept of ‘Smart and sustainable cities and communities’ refers to an overall approach that integrates new technologies, particularly ICT (information and communication technologies), with energy, transport and the built environment . It encompasses a wide range of aspects - such as energy-efficient buildings, clean modes of transport, smart electricity grids and renewable energy sources - for which standards play an important role .

In order to ensure a consistent and holistic approach, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI have created a ‘Smart and Sustainable Cities and Communities’ Coordination Group (SSCC-CG) . This group facilitates the sharing of relevant information and enables coordination among the relevant technical bodies . The group also includes representatives of the international standardization organizations (ISO, IEC and ITU), associations of public authorities and other interested organizations .

The SSCC-CG has started to carry out a comprehensive mapping exercise that will lead to the elaboration of a report with information about relevant standardization initiatives at national, European and international levels, as well as stakeholders and interested parties in Europe . The aim of this exercise will be to develop recommendations regarding specific topics and issues that could be addressed in the framework of new standardization activities .

The SSCC-CG is working in close collaboration with ISO (especially with ISO TC/268) and with the European Commission, and it is also involved in the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities

15 ■ TRANSPORT

Railways

CEN and CENELEC, together with ETSI, support and maintain the Joint Programming Committee for Railways (known as JPC Rail), which brings together representatives from the railway industry (supply industry and networks), relevant European and international organizations (such as UIC, UNIFE, UITP), Technical Committee Chairs and project leaders . They develop and publish standards that support the implementation of the EU Directives on the interoperability of the European rail system (2008/57/EC), as requested by the European Commission (Mandate 483) .

Most European Standards relating to the rail transport sector are developed in the CEN Technical Committee ‘Railway Applications’ (CEN/TC 256) and in the CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Electrical and electronic applications for railways’ (CLC/TC 9X) . These Technical Committees collaborate with the European Railway Agency (ERA), in order to ensure that European Standards are compatible with the latest Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) .

In 2013, CEN published a completely revised and updated set of standards in relation to ‘Fire protection on railway vehicles’ (EN 45545 - parts 1 to 7), and produced a draft European Standard in relation to brake pad holders (prEN 16451) . CEN also published a new Technical Specification (CEN/TS 16406) that will facilitate the online booking of international rail tickets, which was developed by the Technical Committee on ‘Intelligent Transport Systems’ (CEN/TC 278) .

Regarding urban rail, CEN and CENELEC have produced a guide (CEN-CENELEC Guide 26) regarding the preparation of standards for urban rail systems, which covers design, construction, manufacture, operations and maintenance aspects (in the framework of EC Mandate 486) .

More than 45 new harmonized European Standards (or amendments) related to railways were referenced in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) during 2013 . There were several meetings with the European Commission and with the European Railway Agency, leading to the agreement of several new work items (relating to: fire mist, psophometric current, and the integration of local external auxiliary power) .

Responding to key challenges

e-Accessibility

e-Accessibility is about ensuring that people with disabilities and older people can have access to products and services that are based on or related to information and communication technologies (ICT) . European standardization work in this area is coordinated by the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Joint Working Group on e-Accessibility, which is in charge of responding to EC Mandate 376 ‘accessibility requirements for Public Procurement of products and services in the ICT domain’ .

During 2013, the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Working Group on e-Accessibility finalized the content of the first European Standard for accessible ICT products and services (published in February 2014 as EN 301549) . This new standard was developed by an international team of experts, with the participation of the ICT industry and organizations representing consumers, people with disabilities and older persons, and in close cooperation with the European Commission .

The new European Standard is intended in particular for use by public authorities and other public sector bodies during procurement . It includes the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 .0, as developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and is complemented by a series of three Technical Reports (TR 101550, TR 101551 and TR 101552) . Together, these documents set out accessibility requirements that can be applied to a wide range of products and services related to ICT, including computers, smartphones, tablets, ticketing machines, websites and emails .

Accessible Tourism

A proposal for setting up a new CEN Workshop on ‘Universal Design for Tourism Services’ has been developed by CEN and its Spanish member AENOR, together with the European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT) . The proposed Workshop would develop guidelines for tourism operators, agents and suppliers, enabling them to make tourism services accessible to all customers, including people with disabilities, older persons and others with specific access requirements . A request for public funding to support this activity has been submitted to the European Commission .

As well as working together on standardization activities in specific fields and sectors, CEN and CENELEC also combine their efforts to address horizontal issues and key challenges that are relevant to the European Standardization System as a whole . These challenges include: making sure that products and services are accessible for everyone; ensuring that standards respect the environment; increasing the understanding of standardization through education and training; developing the links between research, innovation and standardization; promoting the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and supporting the involvement of societal stakeholders in standardization activities .

Where possible, CEN and CENELEC also seek to collaborate with ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute), so that the three European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) can combine their resources in order to develop a common approach, which may also include joint activities .

■ ACCESSIBILITY

By incorporating accessibility requirements in their standards, the European Standardization Organizations can contribute to ensuring that products and services may be used by as many people as possible - including people with disabilities and older persons . In this regard, CEN and CENELEC are developing activities with the aim of integrating accessibility into a wide range of standards, following the ‘Design for All’ approach . They are also developing specific standards and guidance that will allow accessibility to be taken into consideration when public authorities purchase products and/or services that relate either to the built environment or to information and communication technologies (ICT) .

Design for All

The CEN ‘Strategic Advisory Group on Accessibility’ (SAGA) is responsible for monitoring activities in the framework of Mandate 473 from the European Commission (accepted by CEN and CENELEC in 2011), which concerns the inclusion of ‘Design for All’ principles in relevant standards .

In 2012, CEN and CENELEC set up a Joint Working Group ‘Design for All’ (CEN/CLC/JWG 5) . This group is developing a new European Standard that will address how to integrate accessibility requirements into the design, development and production processes for manufactured goods and for the provision of services . In 2013, this group started work to develop a procedure for deciding when the principles of ‘Design for All’ should be followed, and to identify areas and fields in which it is necessary to address the needs of people with disabilities and older persons .

19 ■ EDUCATION ABOUT STANDARDIZATION

CEN and CENELEC and their national members are determined to strengthen their links with colleges, universities, providers of professional and vocational training, and other bodies involved in education and training . They wish to ensure that relevant information about standards and standardization is being included in educational curricula and training programmes across a wide range of subjects .

CEN and CENELEC have been working together in the framework of their Joint Working Group ‘Education about Standardization’ (JWG-EaS), which was set up in 2010 . This group has developed a Masterplan on Education about Standardization, which was adopted in November 2012 . The Masterplan is complemented by an implementation plan that provides a framework to develop activities in close cooperation with the national members of CEN and CENELEC, recognizing that education and training policy is primarily a national responsibility .

The CEN-CENELEC Masterplan on Education about Standardization was presented to the Annual Conference of the International Cooperation on Education about Standardization (ICES), which took place at the ETSI headquarters in Sophia Antipolis (France) on 12 and 13 June 2013 .

CEN and CENELEC also collaborate with EURAS, the European Academy for Standardization e .V ., which brings together experts from various academic fields (including economics, engineering, social sciences and law) in order to promote and support research related to standardization . From 24 to 26 June 2013, CEN and CENELEC hosted the EURAS Annual Conference, which focused on the theme ‘Boosting European Competitiveness’ .

CEN and CENELEC have created an online repository to enable the sharing of relevant education and training materials, which contains more than 40 examples of educational materials, articles, reports and studies on standardization from different European countries . CEN and CENELEC have also created a LinkedIn group for ‘Education about Standardization’ to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas among experts, which has more than 260 members .

■ ENVIRONMENT

CEN and CENELEC contribute to protecting the environment by supporting the development of environmental standards and also through the integration of objectives such as sustainability, resource efficiency and climate resilience into a wide range of European standardization activities .

The CEN Strategic Advisory Body on Environment (SABE) advises the CEN Technical Board on strategic issues related to the environment . During 2013, SABE focused on issues related to environmental monitoring, the economic benefits linked with environmental improvement, as well as how to facilitate the integration of relevant research results and innovation aspects into standardization activities . For more information about CEN activities related to the environment (regarding Air Quality, Water Quality, Waste, Soil and sludge, and Sustainable food), please see the CEN Annual Report 2013 (published separately) .

Adaptation to Climate Change

CEN and CENELEC are cooperating with the European Commission to ensure that standardization contributes to the successful implementation of the EU Strategy on adaptation to climate change (COM (2013) 216), which was adopted in April 2013 . In this regard, they have discussed the scope of a formal request from the Commission (draft mandate) under which CEN and CENELEC would be requested to identify European Standards that should be revised or amended with a view to enhancing the resilience to climate change of key infrastructures .

Meanwhile, CEN has started work on the elaboration of a supplement to CEN Guide 4 (‘Guide for addressing environmental issues in product standards’), which will help standard writers to identify aspects and issues that may be relevant to climate change, and take adaptation into account during the drafting of European Standards and other deliverables .

Resource Efficiency

Resource efficiency is the main focus of one of seven flagship initiatives adopted by the European Union in the framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy . The ‘Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe’ (COM(2011) 571) sets out a series of structural, technological and policy changes that are needed to make Europe’s economy more sustainable, notably by using resources more efficiently and reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with economic activity .

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC developed a proposal to map existing international and European standardization activities, and identify ways in which European standardization activities can contribute to the objectives of the ‘Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe’ .

European Conferences

Representatives of CEN and CENELEC participated in 40 research and innovation related events during 2013, in order to promote understanding of the benefits of standards and standardization for research and innovation, and to establish and strengthen links between the standardization and research/innovation communities .

CEN and CENELEC collaborated with the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO), the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and DG Enterprise and Industry to organize a Round Table event on ‘Putting Science into Standards: the example of Eco-Innovation’ in Brussels on 24 and 25 April 2013 . The participants in this high-level event included senior leaders from the partner organizations, Members of the European Parliament, industry representatives and researchers .

Standardization and Metrology

CEN and CENELEC are committed to strengthening the links between standardization and metrology, notably by developing the cooperation between the European Standardization Organizations and EURAMET - the European Association of National Metrology Institutes . This cooperation resulted in 10 specific standardization proposals being included in energy and environment related projects to be supported by the EMRP (European Metrology Research Programme) under calls launched in 2013 .

‘Bridge the Gap’

The ‘Bridge the Gap’ (BRIDGIT) project was launched by CEN and CENELEC, together with 10 of their national members, in 2013 . The aim of this two-year project is to highlight the various ways in which standardization can support innovation, and reinforce the links between the standardization, research and innovation communities . Specific activities to be undertaken in the framework of the project include: a study to identify and assess the benefits of linking standardization with research and innovation; the development of an online toolbox; training and awareness-raising actions including 9 national events and a large scale European conference (planned for October 2014) .

Additive Manufacturing

The CEN-CENELEC Working Group STAIR created the STAIR Platform on Additive Manufacturing (STAIR-AM) in order to identify and address possible standardization needs in additive manufacturing (also known as 3D-printing) . The objective of STAIR-AM is to provide a meeting point for stakeholders from the additive manufacturing industry, the research and innovation community and the European and global standardization communities to discuss standards-related issues .

■ LINKING STANDARDIZATION WITH RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

Standards can help to bridge the gap between research, innovation and the market, for example by codifying and disseminating the results of relevant research, development and innovation activities . European standardization therefore has an important contribution to make towards achieving the objectives of the ‘Innovation Union’ initiative, that has been launched by the European Commission in the framework of the ‘Europe 2020’ Strategy .

CEN and CENELEC’s activities in relation to research and innovation are coordinated by the CEN-CENELEC Working Group on Standardization, Innovation and Research (STAIR) . In 2013, the STAIR group adopted a policy clarifying the rules regarding the participation of CEN and CENELEC in research projects through their national Members . By working closely with their members, CEN and CENELEC have expanded the network of national Research, Development and Innovation Correspondents (known as RDI-COR) to include 31 national contact points covering 26 countries .

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC provided direct support to 45 research and innovation projects that had been approved for funding within the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme for research and innovation (FP7) . They also provided advice to more than 100 project proposers who were preparing applications for financial support under FP7, and published 6 case studies to show how European research projects can contribute to and benefit from standardization .

Horizon 2020

CEN and CENELEC have highlighted the role of standardization as a means to support the dissemination and deployment of project results in the context of ‘Horizon 2020’, the European Union’s new multi-annual programme for research, development and innovation, which was launched at the end of 2013 . The importance of standardization has been recognized in relation to all three pillars of Horizon 2020: Excellent Science, Industrial Leadership and Societal Challenges . CEN and CENELEC, together with their national members, are providing advice and support to project developers and proposers via the CEN-CENELEC Research Helpdesk .

The first calls for project proposals under Horizon 2020 were launched in December 2013, and CEN and CENELEC have carried out a mapping exercise in order to identify those topics where standardization could play an important role . CEN and CENELEC also analyzed the Strategic Research Agendas developed by 36 European Technology Platforms (ETPs), which are industry-led stakeholder forums supported by the European Commission, in order to identify any planned activities where it could be useful to establish links with standardization .

21By the end of the year, 17 national members of CEN and CENELEC had developed their own online Toolboxes for SMEs .

During 2013, CEN and CENELEC promoted their activities in relation to SMEs by making presentations at 14 separate events . They published 8 ‘SME Newsletters’ (sent by email to more than 400 recipients) and increased the size of the CEN-CENELEC LinkedIn group ‘SMEs and Standards’ to more than 360 members . Meanwhile, the national members of CEN and CENELEC have set up a total of 42 SME Helpdesks, which provide direct support to SMEs for all questions related to national, European and international standards and standardization activities .

CEN and CENELEC have made it easier for SMEs to access information about European Standards (notably in relation to scopes and normative references) by improving the databases that can be accessed via the public websites of CEN and CENELEC . They have also launched a project to develop an interactive e-learning tool that will enable SMEs to learn about standards and standardization, which should be available online (in 23 languages) by the end of 2014 .

STAIR-AM does not aim to develop standards at European level, but rather to support European involvement in the ISO Technical Committee ‘Additive manufacturing’ (ISO/TC261) . A major contributor to STAIR-AM is the European project SASAM (Support Action for Standardization in Additive Manufacturing), supported by the European Union under FP7 . STAIR-AM also cooperates with the European Technology AM Platform .

■ PARTICIPATION OF SMES

The need to encourage and support the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European standardization system has been highlighted in the European Commission’s policy document on ‘a strategic vision for European standards’ (COM(2011)311), published in June 2011, and in the EU Regulation on European Standardization (1025/2012), which was adopted in 2012 . In this context, CEN and CENELEC together with their national members have strengthened their efforts to better address SMEs’ needs, get more SMEs involved in standardization activities and demonstrate the added value of their participation .

The ‘SME Toolbox of Solutions’, which was added to the CEN-CENELEC website in October 2012, received almost 300 000 visits during 2013 . The Toolbox provides a starting point for SME owners and managers who are looking for information about standards, and explains how SMEs can influence the development and revision of standards .

Responding to key challenges

■ SOCIETAL STAKEHOLDERS

CEN and CENELEC are committed to facilitating and supporting the participation of societal stakeholders in the European standardization system . These stakeholders include organizations concerned with defending the interests of consumers, protecting the environment, and promoting the health and safety of workers . The participation of these stakeholders in the European Standardization System is supported by dedicated umbrella organizations at European level .

CEN and CENELEC have established a Societal Stakeholders Group (SSG), which provides a framework for their ongoing cooperation and dialogue with these European umbrella organizations, namely: ANEC (the European Consumer Voice in Standardization), ECOS (the European Environmental Citizens Organization for Standardization), and ETUI (the European Trade Union Institute - Health and Safety Department) .

In 2013, the SSG focused on two major projects, namely: the creation of an online Toolbox for Societal Stakeholders (added to the CEN-CENELEC website in January 2014); and the elaboration of an interactive e-learning tool aimed at societal stakeholder representatives . The online Toolbox provides practical advice to representatives of societal stakeholder organizations regarding where to find information about ongoing standardization activities, and how they can contribute to the standards development process at national, European and international levels .

SMEST2 Project

The SMEST2 (SME Standardization Toolkit) project was launched in January 2011 and ended in 2013 . It was managed by a consortium that included CEN and CENELEC and 3 national standardization bodies (ASI, DIN and NEN), supported by the European Commission and EFTA . The project included the production of a leaflet on ‘Including SMEs in standardization’, which has been made available in 25 languages, and the organization of national workshops in 21 European countries, which were attended by more than 700 participants in total .

The SMEST2 project led to the development of an ‘SME Standardization Toolkit’, which can be accessed via the CEN-CENELEC website, with information about more than 200 examples of good practice regarding SMEs’ participation in standardization activities .

The project also provided a platform for organizing a major European Conference on SMEs and Standardization, which took place in Brussels on 28 May 2013 . This event attracted some 200 participants including representatives of national standardization bodies, European institutions, public authorities, business and industry organizations, and SMEs . The Conference was organized by the European Standardization Organizations with the support of the European Commission and EFTA, and in partnership with ORGALIME (the European Engineering Industries Association) .

European Standards on the world stage

The second workshop focused on the ESOs’ relations with the Mercosur Standards Association (AMN) in the context of ongoing discussions regarding trade between Mercosur (Customs Union of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela), the EU and EFTA .

The third ERC workshop looked at cooperation with Korea, and included an exchange of information with colleagues from the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) .

The CEN-CENELEC-ETSI External Relations Officer represents the ESOs in their relations with international partners . Francisco Verdera Marí represented the ESOs at the Pan-American Standards Commission (COPANT) General Assembly in Saint Lucia in April, and also at the 43rd General Meeting of the Euro-Asian Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (EASC) in Ufa (Russia) in June 2013 .

■ SUPPORTING REGULATORY DIALOGUES AND TRADE TALKS

In the framework of regulatory dialogues between the European Union and its major trading partners, CEN and CENELEC are systematically invited to participate in the Working Groups addressing issues related to standardization . By contributing to international trade talks, CEN and CENELEC promote technical alignment and the adoption of identical standards, thereby removing technical barriers to trade, facilitating market access and supporting economic integration .

EU-China Dialogue

CEN and CENELEC are regularly invited by the European Commission (EC) to contribute to regulatory discussions between the EC and the Chinese Government . In this regard, CEN and CENELEC took part in a meeting of the EU-China Regulatory Dialogue Working Group Standardization in Shenzhen (China) from 4 to 7 November 2013, which was organized by the EC and the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) . This meeting provided an opportunity to exchange information, to address a number of sectoral issues, and to discuss the implementation of the Europe-China Standards Information Platform (CESIP) project .

EU-Japan Dialogue

CEN and CENELEC have also participated in the regulatory dialogues between the EU and Japan . The 16th meeting of the EU-Japan Working Group Conformity Assessment and Standardization took place in Brussels on 27 November 2013 and focused on issues related to the EU-Japan Free Trade Agreement negotiations, including: technical barriers to trade (TBT), standardization activities in regulated areas and the European Commission’s Rolling Plan for ICT Standardization .

The international cooperation of CEN and CENELEC are aimed at promoting the European Standardization System and contributing to the removal of technical barriers to trade . CEN and CENELEC engage in cooperation activities and develop partnerships with national and regional standardization bodies around the world . They actively collaborate with the international standardization organizations (especially ISO and IEC), and promote the adoption of international standards and the alignment of national standards with European Standards . Furthermore, CEN and CENELEC are regularly invited by the European Commission to participate in regulatory dialogues and trade talks between the European Union and its trading partners .

2013 was an especially busy and productive year from an international cooperation perspective . CEN and CENELEC established strategic partnerships and reinforced technical cooperation with international partners, strengthened their collaboration with ISO and IEC, contributed to trade negotiations, advanced the implementation of key projects and improved their monitoring with regard to the adoption of European Standards as identical standards by national standardization bodies in third countries (i .e . beyond the Members of CEN and CENELEC) .

■ EXTERNAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE

In order to coordinate their international cooperation activities and ensure a coherent approach in their relations with standardization bodies in other parts of the world, the three European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) work closely together in the framework of the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI External Relations Committee (ERC) . The ERC meets on a regular basis to discuss the development and implementation of various international cooperation activities and ensure coordination among the three ESOs, in close collaboration with the European Commission and the EFTA secretariat .

Three ERC meetings were held in 2013 . In conjunction with these meetings, it was decided to organize a series of three workshops, focusing on the cooperation between the ESOs and their counterparts in other countries and regions around the world . Representatives from the European Commission and the EFTA secretariat were also invited to participate in these workshops .

The first workshop was an opportunity for an exchange of information and dialogue with representatives of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), which is the regulatory agency for the Eurasian Economic Community (Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia) .

EU-US Trade Talks (TTIP)

The political leaders of the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) issued a joint statement on 13 February 2013, announcing their intention to launch negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) . Technical barriers to trade and regulatory convergence have been identified as two of the major challenges to be addressed in the framework of negotiations between the European Commission and the US Government .

CEN and CENELEC are contributing to the ongoing trade negotiations by providing relevant information and expertise to the European regulators and legislators on standards-related topics . On 10 April, the External Relations Officer of the ESOs, Francisco Verdera Marí, participated in the stakeholder session of the EU-US High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum in Washington DC . Then on 31 May, the Director General of CEN and CENELEC, Elena Santiago Cid, delivered a presentation to Members of the European Parliament and of the US Congress at the 74th meeting of the Transatlantic Legislators Dialogue (TLD) in Dublin .

CEN and CENELEC have sought to raise awareness of the importance of standards in relation to transatlantic trade, and promote understanding of the differences between the European and US Standardization Systems . In September, CEN and CENELEC published a Position Paper regarding the issue of technical barriers to trade in the context of the TTIP negotiations .

■ COOPERATION WITH ANSI (USA)

The European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) are involved in an ongoing and wide-ranging dialogue with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) . The purpose of this dialogue is to exchange information regarding the European and United States’ Standardization Systems, and to discuss possibilities for cooperation that could contribute to facilitating trade and economic cooperation between Europe and the USA .

At their meeting in Dublin on 12 February 2013, ANSI and the three ESOs decided to further develop their discussions with a view to reaching agreement on the content of a Memorandum of Understanding that would provide a framework for strengthening the cooperation between the European and US Standardization Systems . Such a framework would enable closer collaboration and facilitate the reduction of technical barriers to trade in the context of the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) . The meeting in Dublin was followed-up with meetings in Washington DC (in August) and further contacts between ANSI and the ESOs .

The ANSI-CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Meeting in Dublin on 12 February 2013 was hosted by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), and was also attended by representatives from the European Commission, the EFTA secretariat and the US Federal Government (Department of Commerce) .

European Standards on the world stage

■ COOPERATION WITH EASC

Recognizing that trade between Europe and the Euro-Asian region is important for the economic prosperity of all the countries concerned, CEN and CENELEC have sought to strengthen their cooperation with the Euro-Asian Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification (EASC), which brings together the National Standards Bodies of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan .

The European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) cooperate with the EASC in the framework of a Memorandum of Understanding, signed in 2012, which facilitates the exchange of information among the parties in order to improve mutual understanding . In 2013, CEN and CENELEC initiated discussions on the revision of this agreement in order to facilitate technical cooperation and enable the EASC countries to make use of European Standards (by adopting identical standards) alongside international standards . In this context, discussions have been held with several members of EASC, including those that are Affiliates of CEN and/or CENELEC .

The CEN-CENELEC-ETSI External Relations Officer attended the 43rd General Meeting of EASC, which was held in Ufa (Russia) from 5 to 8 June 2013 . Francisco Verdera Marí addressed the delegates and confirmed that the ESOs are committed to strengthening their cooperation with EASC and its members, and implementing the roadmap that was agreed in 2012 .

■ COOPERATION WITH ROSSTANDART

Following more than two years of negotiations, CEN and CENELEC have signed a Cooperation Agreement with Rosstandart (Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Russian Federation) . The Cooperation Agreement was formally concluded at a ceremony in St Petersburg (Russia) on 17 September 2013, alongside the 36th General Assembly of ISO . By signing this agreement, the three organizations have committed themselves to working together on issues of joint interest in order to enable the mutual acceptance, compatibility and recognition of standards .

The Cooperation Agreement between CEN, CENELEC and Rosstandart provides a framework to facilitate the sharing of information, the transfer of technical knowledge and the exchange of best practices among the three parties . It allows for the possibility of exchanging and aligning standards between Europe and Russia, and for European experts to attend meetings of Russian Technical Committees (and vice-versa), subject to the agreement of all the parties involved .

By developing their cooperation in the field of standardization, CEN, CENELEC and Rosstandart intend to support the growth of trade between Europe and Russia and the establishment of a ‘Common Economic Space’ - as agreed between the European Union and the Russian Federation in May 2003 . In particular, they will support the ‘Partnership for Modernisation’ that was agreed at the EU-Russia summit in Rostov-on-Don on 1 June 2010, and which includes “promoting alignment of technical regulations and standards” among its priority areas .

The Cooperation Agreement between CEN, CENELEC and Rosstandart was formally concluded in St Petersburg (Russia) on 17 September 2013. The signature ceremony was attended by (from left to right): Andreï Lotsmanov, Russian Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs; Elena Santiago Cid, Director General of CEN and CENELEC; Isabelle Heller, AFNOR-UTE & EU-Russia Industrialists Round Table; Tore Trondvold, President of CENELEC; Grigory Elkin, Head of Rosstandart; Friedrich Smaxwil, President of CEN; Antti Peltomäki, Deputy Director-General, European Commission (DG Enterprise and Industry); Konstantin Leonidov, Ministry of Industry and Trade (Russian Federation).

27Statistical data showing the identical adoption of European Standards by third countries is included in the CEN and CENELEC Quarterly Statistical Pack, which is published on the CEN-CENELEC website (under ‘About Us’ > ‘CEN & CENELEC in figures’) .

■ VISIBILITY ACTIVITIES

In order to raise awareness and improve understanding of the European Standardization System, especially in emerging markets (such as China and India), the three European Standardization Organizations collaborate on the implementation of joint information and visibility projects in partnership with the European Commission and EFTA .

CESIP (China)

The Europe-China Standardization Information Platform (CESIP) is a project that aims at facilitating trade and investment between Europe and China by making standards and related technical regulations more accessible . The platform is a website where Chinese and/or European economic actors can find information in English and Chinese about the relevant applicable and upcoming standards to be applied to products intended for export to China or Europe .

The CESIP Platform covers the following sectors and product groups: electrical equipment, medical devices, machinery and environmental protection . In 2013, five new sectors were added to the platform: aerosol containers, packaging, textiles, toys and childcare articles . The CESIP project is implemented by CEN (project leader) in partnership with CENELEC, ETSI, the European Commission, EFTA and the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) .

SESEC III (China)

The Seconded European Standardization Expert in China (SESEC) promotes cooperation between Europe and China with respect to standardization and related policies . During 2013, the third chapter of this project has been redesigned to accommodate the evolving needs of the partners and their stakeholders . A new call for candidates was launched in December 2013 and it is expected that an expert will be operational in China in the summer of 2014 .

CEN and CENELEC have also held discussions with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) of the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, aimed at identifying potential areas for future standardization cooperation and enabling the use of identical standards, in support of the EEC’s efforts to align some of their technical regulations to European directives .

■ SUPPORT TO AFFILIATES

The Affiliates of CEN and CENELEC are national standardization organizations (members of ISO) and national electrotechnical committees (members of IEC) in countries that are recognized by the European Union as candidate or potential candidate countries, or which are covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy of the EU . At the end of 2013, CEN had Affiliates in 17 countries while CENELEC had Affiliates in 13 countries .

By encouraging and assisting Affiliates to improve and modernize their standardization systems and to adopt international and European Standards as identical national standards, CEN and CENELEC support the development of trade and economic integration between the EU and EFTA countries (i .e . the European Single Market) and neighbouring countries .

The activities of CEN and CENELEC towards their Affiliates are aligned as closely as possible with European economic and political initiatives, with a special focus on supporting the EU accession process of (potential) candidate countries, and facilitating the conclusion of Agreements on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAAs) .

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC cooperated with their Affiliates to improve the collection of information regarding the uptake of European Standards, which resulted in an increase of 24% in notifications of national adoptions compared to 2012 .

■ UPTAKE OF EUROPEAN STANDARDS

One of the ways in which CEN and CENELEC contribute to the elimination of technical barriers to trade is by promoting the adoption of European Standards as identical standards by national standardization bodies in third countries (beyond the Members and Affiliates of CEN and CENELEC) . This is especially interesting in cases where no international standard is available, or where European Standards are different from international ones for reasons related to European regulatory or market specificities .

In 2013, CEN and CENELEC received a total of 662 requests from national standardization bodies in third countries wishing to implement a European Standard by adopting an identical national standard (and withdrawing any conflicting national standards) . The greatest numbers of requests were received from Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia, South Africa, Kenya and Singapore . Most of these requests concerned standards in the fields of Construction, Mechanical engineering and Materials .

SESEI (India)

The Seconded European Standardization Expert for India (SESEI) project is a visibility project supported and operated by the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI), the European Commission (DG Enterprise and Industry) and EFTA . This project aims to promote cooperation between Europe and India in the field of standardization and related policies and legislation, notably in the context of the EU-India regulatory dialogue .

Mr Dinesh Chand Sharma is the Seconded European Standardization Expert in India (SESEI) . He develops activities in order to enhance the visibility of European standardization, increase the cooperation between European and Indian standardization bodies and support European companies facing standardization-related issues when trying to access the Indian market .

CEN and CENELEC provide a link between the stakeholders and the expert in India . During 2013, a number of requests were received from both sides on topics relating to harmonized standards, specific areas of standardization activity and the adoption of ENs in India .

An interactive session on European Standards and the SESEI project was organised by CENELEC alongside the IEC General Meeting in New Delhi (India) in October 2013 . This was a good opportunity to promote the European Standardization System and the SESEI project to interested stakeholders (including industry representatives, public authorities, etc .), to develop links between European and Indian stakeholders and to initiate discussions on specific areas of cooperation .

■ EUROPEAN STANDARDIZATION SUMMIT

‘Improving the Standard of Services - The Road Ahead for European Standardization’ was the theme of the 2nd European Standardization Summit, which took place in Copenhagen on 19 June 2013 . The Summit was organized by CEN and CENELEC, and hosted by Danish Standards (DS) .

This high-level event attracted the participation of around 180 delegates including: leaders from national, European and international standardization organizations; representatives of business and industry, the European Commission, EFTA and national authorities; as well as societal stakeholders including consumer and environmental organizations .

There was a broad consensus among the participants that European Standards are necessary to open-up the Single Market for services . It is also important to align national regulations relating to services, notably with regard to public procurement, and to support the growth of affordable certification schemes in order to boost consumer confidence .

The summit was wrapped-up by Tore Trondvold, President of CENELEC and Chairman of the Presidential Committee of CEN and CENELEC, who noted that the development of standards for services is a growing area of activity at European level . He referred in particular to the work on horizontal standards that is being coordinated by the CEN Strategic Advisory Group on Services, as well as sector-specific initiatives such as the High Level Group on Business Services .

CEN and CENELEC organize a wide range of events throughout each year and use various means of communication to provide information and send messages to different audiences . Such events and communication activities are necessary in order to keep the members and communities of CEN and CENELEC informed about relevant developments including recent achievements and ongoing activities . They are also important for enhancing the visibility of the European Standardization System towards key target audiences such as: business and industry (including SMEs), regulators and policy-makers, researchers and scientists, the education and training sectors, and any other organizations or individuals who could benefit from having a better awareness and understanding of the system .

■ EVENTS ORGANIZED BY CEN AND CENELEC

CEN and CENELEC organized a wide range of events in 2013, addressing a variety of target groups and dealing with different themes related to standardization .

The traditional CEN and CENELEC New Year Reception was held at the Solvay Library in Brussels on 23 January 2013 . This annual networking event provides an opportunity for the CEN and CENELEC Presidents to address representatives from the EU institutions and Brussels based stakeholders, and inform them about the achievements and priorities of both organizations .

Raising awareness and visibility

Addressing the 2nd European Standardization Summit in Copenhagen on 19 June, Denmark’s Minister for Business and Growth, Annette Vilhelmsen, said that “standards can make products and services work together in new ways”.

31 ■ CONFERENCE ON SMEs AND STANDARDIZATION

CEN and CENELEC, together with ETSI, organized a major European Conference on SMEs and Standardization in Brussels on 28 May 2013 . This event was organized in the framework of the SMEST2 project supported by the European Commission and EFTA, and in partnership with ORGALIME (the European Engineering Industries Association) . The Conference attracted some 200 participants including representatives of national standardization organizations, the European institutions, public authorities, business and industry organizations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) .

■ TECHNICAL BODY AWARDS CEREMONY

European standardization depends on the commitment and hard work of countless experts who participate in the technical bodies of CEN and CENELEC and contribute to the drafting of standards on a voluntary basis . Perhaps the greatest contribution is made by those who accept the responsibility of chairing Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs) . This is why, once every 2 years, CEN and CENELEC present awards to the most dedicated, hard-working and longest-serving TC Chairs . The Awards Ceremony took place in Brussels on 4 December 2013, before the CEN and CENELEC Technical Body Officers Seminar 5 December .

■ CEN-CENELEC STANDARDAYS

StandarDays is a training and information event that takes place at the CEN-CENELEC Meeting Centre in Brussels, providing an introduction to standardization for people who have little or no previous knowledge of standards . During two days, participants learn about the European Standardization System, the various activities and deliverables of CEN and CENELEC, and the potential benefits of getting actively involved in standardization .

Most of the StandarDays programme consists of presentations made by senior staff and experts from the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre, followed by opportunities for questions and answers . At each event there is also a presentation from the perspective of a company or organization that is making use of standards and participating in standardization activities .

The two StandarDays sessions held in 2013 (in April and September) were filled to maximum capacity, attracting more than 200 participants from 27 different countries . The feedback received after both events was overwhelmingly positive, with an average satisfaction score of 92% .

Raising awareness and visibility

■ E-COMMUNICATION

CEN and CENELEC continue to develop and expand their use of electronic, interactive and web-based communication tools, in order to provide relevant and up-to-date information about their activities and deliverables, as well as other relevant developments, to their respective communities, current and potential users of standards, and members of the general public .

CEN and CENELEC maintain three websites that provide information to the public (www .cen .eu, www .cenelec .eu and www .cencenelec .eu) . The total number of visits (of more than 15 minutes) in 2013 for the three websites was more than 3 .5 million, which represents an increase of 26% compared with the previous year . The increase in traffic is partly the result of promotional efforts made through other channels such as social media .

In 2013, the CEN-CENELEC website (www .cencenelec .eu) has been upgraded with a responsive layout which adapts to different screen sizes, making the website more accessible and reader-friendly on mobile digital devices such as tablets and smartphones .

Meanwhile, a new version of the CEN website (www .cen .eu) was developed during 2013, to be ready for launch in the first quarter of 2014 . The purpose of building a new CEN website was to provide a more modern look and feel and to improve the integration with dynamic tools and information drawn from the CEN-CENELEC database, which is updated on a daily basis .

■ SOCIAL MEDIA

CEN and CENELEC continue to increase their presence on the most widely-used social media platforms: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube . Each of these platforms works in a different way and reaches a different audience .

The CEN and CENELEC Management Centre (Communication Unit) developed a Social Media Plan to be implemented in 2014, linking social media activities with CEN and CENELEC’s Ambitions to 2020, in the framework of a more strategic approach to communications .

revision of existing standards) in various domains, such as: Air Traffic Management (ATM), Light Emitting Diodes (LED), Pyrolysis oils, Services (horizontal standards), and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), among others . In addition, CEN and CENELEC also accepted 14 Amendments to existing EC Mandates, which also entail the carrying out of additional work .

Thanks to the early involvement of the relevant technical bodies of CEN and CENELEC as well as the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) in the preparation of Mandates, the amount of time required for their approval by the Technical Boards of CEN and CENELEC was kept to a minimum .

■ COOPERATION WITH FORA AND CONSORTIA

The CEN-CENELEC Guide 23 ‘Consortium bridge - Adoption of third-party specifications as European Standardization Publications’ was published in February 2013 . This Guide identifies the processes and procedures that can be used within CEN and CENELEC to adopt third-party specifications . It takes into account the provisions of the new EU Regulation 1025/2012, notably regarding technical specifications developed by fora and consortia in the field of ICT and their possible use in relation to public procurement and/or EU policies .

■ CEN-CENELEC LEGAL PLATFORM

The Legal Affairs Department of the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) continues to enforce and protect the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of both organizations, working in partnership with the CEN-CENELEC Legal Platform, which brings together legal experts from the national members of both organizations, as well as from their international counterparts (ISO and IEC) .

In 2013, the Legal Platform continued to closely follow actions undertaken to protect CEN and CENELEC copyright against infringements . These actions were initiated by CCMC in cooperation with the international standardization organizations (ISO and IEC) and several national members of CEN and CENELEC .

One major activity in 2013 focused on the testing of services offered by companies specializing in online anti-piracy operations . Such services can help to detect illegal practices of standards being posted and sold via the internet, with the aim of eradicating such practices and identifying those cases in which it may be necessary to initiate targeted legal actions . Following the first successful tests, which led to encouraging results, all the members of CEN and CENELEC have been given the opportunity to benefit from this service .

The CEN-CENELEC Legal Platform also initiated discussions and provided advice on the legal aspects and implications related to the use of new technologies

CEN and CENELEC are committed to making the European Standardization System as efficient and effective as possible, so that they can continue to meet the evolving needs and requirements of their stakeholders and all those who benefit from having access to high-quality standards .

■ CEN AND CENELEC TECHNICAL BOARDS

The CEN and CENELEC Technical Boards (BTs) are the bodies responsible for governing the technical work and related processes, leading to the development of European Standardization deliverables by both organizations within their respective domains of activity . Given the growing number of topics that relate to the domains of both organizations, the BTs of CEN and CENELEC cooperate on a range of joint efforts, relating to both technical and operational matters .

CEN and CENELEC have set up joint technical bodies or groups to coordinate their respective standardization activities in relation to various fields and topics . These include (among others): Accessibility in the built environment, ‘Design for All’, e-Mobility (electric vehicles), Green Data Centres, Smart Grids, and Smart and sustainable cities and communities .

On an operational level, the CEN and CENELEC BTs have established joint working groups to address various aspects of the standards development process, such as how to further reduce the development time for European standards, and how to evaluate the market relevance of new standardization activities (among other topics) .

■ COOPERATION WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION AND EFTA

CEN and CENELEC regularly receive requests from the European Commission and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) to develop European Standards (or other types of documents) that are considered necessary to support the implementation of European policies and legislation . These requests, officially known as Mandates, are submitted to the Technical Board(s) of CEN and/or CENELEC, which must formally decide to accept each new Mandate before the requested work can be carried out .

Around one-third (33%) of all the standardization activities taking place within CEN and CENELEC are associated with Mandates that have been issued by the European Commission and EFTA, and accepted by the CEN and/or CENELEC BTs . By developing, adopting and publishing these standards, which are accepted and implemented in 33 countries, CEN and CENELEC continue to make a significant contribution to the efficient functioning of Europe’s Single Market .

During the course of 2013, CEN and CENELEC accepted 12 requests (Mandates) from the European Commission, regarding the development of new standards (or the

39Under the new policy there are 6 types of partnership status, which have been tailored taking into account the different nature and interests of the various organizations that wish to cooperate on a continuous basis with CEN and/or CENELEC . The new types of status include (among others):

- Liaison Organization for European organizations that wish to contribute to the work of specific Technical Committees and/or Working Groups in CEN and/or CENELEC .

- Partner Organization for European organizations that wish to participate in technical work and also to be informed about and take part in the relevant activities of the governing bodies of CEN and/or CENELEC and their advisory groups .

In order to be able to fully implement the new policy, CEN and CENELEC contacted some 500 organizations that had been cooperating with them under different statuses . All of these organizations were informed about the new policy and invited to further develop their cooperation with CEN and/or CENELEC in line with the new framework, which entered into force on 1 January 2014 .

Under the new framework, the European Commission and EFTA continue to participate regularly in the meetings and activities of CEN and CENELEC’s Governing and Technical Bodies . Furthermore, a number of European Union Agencies and other European intergovernmental organisations are recognized as ‘European Institutional Stakeholders’ of CEN and/or CENELEC .

■ MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Following the adoption in 2011 of common membership criteria (as set out in CEN-CENELEC Guide 20), CEN and CENELEC proceeded with the implementation of a common system for assessing their Members’ compliance with these criteria . This system, which was adopted by the General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC in November 2012, is described in CEN-CENELEC Guide 22 . A key objective of the new system is to identify examples of good practice .

Under the new system, every Member of CEN and/or CENELEC has to undergo a regular assessment (once every 3 or 4 years) to check that they comply with all of the membership criteria . The implementation of the assessment process is being overseen by the Membership Relations and Monitoring Committee (MRMC), which is chaired by David Dossett (President of CENELEC from 2010 to 2012) .

Each Member of CEN or CENELEC may choose how it wishes to be assessed . The options include a ‘peer assessment’, carried out by assessors appointed by the MRMC, or a self-assessment - which can be integrated with an audit of compliance with EN ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems - Requirements), carried out by a recognized certification body . During the first round of

in standardization, such as XML (Extensible Markup Language) and other information technology (IT) tools .

CEN and CENELEC have concluded new agreements with their respective national members, which provide a more solid framework for the transfer of exploitation rights in relation to European Standards and other deliverables . These agreements strengthen the ability of CEN and CENELEC to legally protect their respective copyright on all their deliverables, whilst also enhancing the rights of CEN and CENELEC Members to publish and sell European Standards and other deliverables that have been developed and adopted by CEN and CENELEC .

■ CEN-CENELEC JOINT COMMERCIAL ADVISORY GROUP

The Joint Commercial Advisory Group (JCAG) deals with the definition and coordination of the commercial policy and practices among the members of CEN and CENELEC . The JCAG has established Working Groups to develop recommendations in relation to three key topics: commercial practices during public enquiries; protecting the copyright on CEN and CENELEC publications; and the future commercial business model of CEN and CENELEC Members .

During 2013, the members of JCAG discussed various aspects related to the system and policy regarding the distribution of European Standards and other deliverables produced by CEN and CENELEC . The group sees a progressive shift from the traditional distribution model, based on the delivery of published documents, towards a new model in which customers access a rich database of interlinked standards and related information in flexible formats . In this context, the group has also started work on the revision and updating of CEN-CENELEC Guide 10 (Guidelines for the distribution and sales of CEN-CENELEC publications) .

The JCAG, together with the CEN-CENELEC XML Task Force, organized a Workshop ‘From XML to new standardization products and services’, which was held in Brussels in October 2013 . This Workshop was attended by colleagues from 29 Members of CEN and CENELEC, as well as representatives of the international standardization organizations (ISO and IEC) .

■ NEW FRAMEWORK FOR PARTNERSHIPS

The General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC adopted in June 2013 a new common framework of partnership that offers clear options for European organizations and other stakeholders that wish to cooperate on a continuous basis with CEN and/or CENELEC . This new policy, which is described in the new CEN-CENELEC Guide 25 (‘The concept of Partnership with European Organizations and other stakeholders’), was developed following comprehensive discussions and consultations with stakeholders .

■ CEN-CENELEC IT STRATEGY

The CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group on IT Strategy is responsible for coordinating the implementation of the CEN-CENELEC Long-Term IT Strategy, which was approved by the Administrative Boards (CAs) of CEN and CENELEC in November 2012 . New and upgraded IT solutions are being developed and deployed, in close cooperation with the international standardization organizations (ISO and IEC), in order to improve the efficiency of standardization activities and related processes .

On the CEN side, a new improved version of the Global Directory (GD3), which is now integrated with ISO, provides a more user-friendly working environment for administrators . Meanwhile, CENELEC has implemented a new electronic voting system for the adoption of standards, which is fully integrated with the IEC voting system in order to facilitate Members’ participation in parallel votes .

CCMC has also proceeded with an initiative to merge the CEN and CENELEC databases . The new consolidated database (available in 2014) will facilitate access to information regarding the standardization activities and deliverables of CEN and CENELEC for all their Members and Affiliates .

■ E-COMMENTING

A key stage in the standards development process is the public enquiry, during which all interested parties are invited to comment on a draft standard . Online public commenting platforms offer considerable potential to open-up the enquiry process by providing easy access to draft standards and making it simpler to submit comments . Improving the accessibility and transparency of the process is also one of the main objectives of EU Regulation 1025/2012 .

In the framework of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), the European Commission has agreed to co-finance the deployment of online platforms for public commenting on draft standards by national members of CEN and CENELEC in six countries (Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Latvia, Norway and Spain) . This project was launched in late 2013 and the online public commenting systems should become operational in 2014 .

assessments (2013-2015), there is also a third option of a self-assessment carried out by internal assessors in accordance with an agreed template .

The MRMC reviewed the first self-assessment reports that were submitted at the end of 2012, and established a calendar of assessment exercises covering all CEN and CENELEC Members, which will run until the end of 2015 . CEN-CENELEC Guides 20 and 22 have both been revised, taking into account the feedback received from Members during the first round of self-assessments .

In order to ensure that the assessments are carried out in a consistent way, the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) has organized a training programme for Assessors . The first training session for Peer Assessors took place in November 2013, with a similar training for Internal Assessors to be held in May 2014 . These trainings will also strengthen the Assessors’ ability to identify good practices that can then be disseminated among the Members of both organizations .

■ PUBLICATION OF STANDARDS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

Within CCMC, the Standards Publications Unit is responsible for processing and editing texts of all CEN and CENELEC deliverables in accordance with the Internal Regulations . The careful and methodical editing of documents, according to a systematic set of rules, ensures the consistent quality of European Standards and other publications that are provided to CEN and CENELEC Members and their customers .

The total number of technical documents published by CEN and CENELEC in 2013 was 1523 . At the end of the year, the total number of valid (or ‘living’) documents in the CEN portfolio was 15225, while the total number of CENELEC documents was 6910 .

CCMC has upgraded the entire production line for technical documents, so that standards and other deliverables can be provided to Members in XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) format . The first priority has been to make all new CEN publications available in XML format, according to the same schema that are being used at international level by ISO . Making standards content available in this modular format will allow CEN and CENELEC Members to develop added-value services in line with the needs of their customers .

41 ■ CEN-CENELEC MANAGEMENT CENTRE

In January 2014, a total of 85 people were working at the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) in Brussels . During the course of 2013, some 200 training occurrences, 16 long-term academic programmes and 83 internal on-the-job trainings were provided to members of staff .

Recognizing the importance of effective people management for the overall performance of the organization, CCMC has further developed a collaborative form of work organization which aims at continual improvement, whilst encouraging feedback from employees .

The 2013 staff survey invited employees to reflect on the ‘road travelled’ since January 2010 as an integrated team . The staff survey addressed three aspects of working together: stimulating work environment; room for individual contribution; and dynamics of teamwork . The average results of the staff perception regarding these three aspects increased from 53% (in 2010) to 79% (in 2013) . This trend shows the positive evolution towards teamwork and the integration of CEN and CENELEC employees, which will remain an important focus for CCMC in the coming years .

A survey of CEN and CENELEC Technical Bodies was carried out, in order to assess the level of satisfaction with the various services provided to Technical Bodies by CCMC . The results of this survey provide a basis for developing a programme of improvements to these services, taking into account the feedback received from Technical Bodies, to be launched in 2014 .

■ QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The CCMC Quality Management System (QMS) reached the end of its three-year certification cycle in 2013 . A re-certification audit was carried out in October, which resulted in the renewal of the EN ISO 9001 certificate, together with some recommendations for improvement . These recommendations relate to the integration of systematic risk management into processes, the use of project management techniques, and the need to enhance the resilience of IT (information technology) systems within the context of an overall continuity and recovery plan .

CCMC also carried out an analysis of the benefits generated by the QMS since 2010 . This analysis found that the QMS strongly supports the alignment of CEN and CENELEC’s strategic approaches and business objectives, as well as the integration of the work environment, processes, tools and services, and cross-department culture within CCMC . Moreover, the QMS provides the structure to define responsibility and accountability, in which business objectives are directly related to individual contributions . It also provides opportunities for further improving business performance and tools by sharing best practices, broadening knowledge and developing competences .

At the yearly management review meeting, the Senior Management of CCMC confirmed that the QMS was operational, effective, continually improving and a key element in managing performance and involving all staff . It also identified areas for improvement in terms of strengthening a common understanding of the vision of the organization, developing efficient and effective internal communication, and increasing operational effectiveness .
