CEN-CENELEC

CEN and CENELEC — European Standardization Organizations

CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) are two distinct organizations managed by a single body, the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC). They share a unified publishing system, identifier grammar, and catalogue. CEN cooperates with ISO (Vienna Agreement) and CENELEC cooperates with IEC (Frankfurt Agreement). Both are recognized by the EU and EFTA.

RegionalSyntax CEN-CENELEC identifiers use EN (European Norm) designations with CEN or CLC (CENELEC) publisher prefixes. Patterns: EN [Number]:[Year], CEN/TS [Number]:[Year], CLC/TR [Number]:[Year], CEN/CLC [Type] [Number]:[Year]. CENELEC ENs in the IEC number range (e.g. EN 6XXXX) implicitly adopt the corresponding IEC publication; parts break this implicit adoption and require an explicit BS EN IEC form. Website →
