Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
CEN-CLC/JTC 19 ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies’ was established based on the recommendations presented in the CEN-CENELEC White Paper on ‘Recommendations for Successful Adoption in Europe of Emerging Technical Standards on Distributed Ledger/Blockchain Technologies’. It identifies and adopts international standards already available or under development. The JTC works in close contact with ISO/TC 307 ‘Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies’. Furthermore, CEN-CLC/JTC 19 focuses on specific European legislative and policy requirements, in support of the development of the EU Digital Single Market.
The committee takes over the work from the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies.
Artificial Intelligence
CEN-CLC/JTC 21 ‘Artificial Intelligence’ was established at the beginning of 2021. It identifies and adopts international standards already available or under development from other organisations like ISO/IEC JTC 1 and its subcommittees, such as SC 42 Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, CEN-CLC/JTC 21 focuses on producing standardization deliverables that address European market and societal needs, as well as underpinning EU legislation, policies, principles, and values.
The committee takes over the work from the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence, which created the CEN-CENELEC response to the EC White Paper on AI.
