IEC and CENELEC are committed to develop standards helping to meet today’s technological and societal challenges as well as those that society will face in the future. The high level of convergence between CENELEC and IEC standards is facilitated by the ongoing technical cooperation between both organizations, materialized by the Frankfurt Agreement.
This webinar is co-organized by CENELEC and IEC and will provide participants with an overview of the Frankfurt Agreement. Some practical information on how IEC and CENELEC work together as well as some details on the links between the European Standardization System and European legislation will be given during the webinar.
The objective of this new process is to improve the timely delivery of compliant harmonised Standards (hENs) by shifting the focus and the efforts for compliance at the beginning of the development process and introducing the new CCMC Quality Check (QC). The innovative process applies only to hENs which are submitted to the EC consultants’ assessment.
READ MOREDid you know that waste and pollution are largely determined by the way we design things?
Waste and pollution are not accidents, but consequence of decisions made at design stage, where about 80% of the environmental impacts are determined. Likewise, the adverse footprint on the planet left due to the extraction of resources only happens because of the way we make and consume products and materials.
This webinar aims to provide first-hand information to CENELEC Technical Bodies on the functioning and state-of-play of the process to request Common Modifications to projects in parallel with IEC, and at the inclusion of Annex Z and Annex ZA during the parallel development. We will provide further guidance and explain roles and responsibilities of the different parties as well as emphasis the right moment to introduce requests and make the relevant documentation available.
READ MOREThis webinar intends to explain what measures CEN and CENELEC have put in place in order to timely respond to the new provisions of the EU Reg. 2022/2480 amending EU Reg. 1025/2012, published on 19 December 2022 in the OJEU. The new regulation shall be applied as of 9 July 2023.
Main focus will be on the changes in CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations Part 2 and the impact for CEN & CENELEC Technical Boards and Technical bodies. An overview of the main modifications in the voting tools will be provided as well.
This webinar will provide participants with the latest developments regarding the preparation of harmonized standards and standardization requests under the Construction Products Regulation. It will include:
• Routes for preparation of hENs under the CPR: Mandates, CPR Acquis and fast-track
• Standardization request development process
• Tools to support Technical Committees to develop harmonized standards under CPR
The common checklist is a basis for ESOs and their Technical Bodies for self-assessment of standards under a standardization request (SReq) to ensure fulfilment of a SReq, EU legislation requirements and other possible European Commission (EC) criteria. This new common checklist will replace the actual Checklist for harmonized standards (hENs). The goal of this webinar is to present this new common checklist and describe the main differences with the previous one.

READ MOREThis webinar will aim to provide first-hand information to CEN and CENELEC Technical Committees on the functioning and state-of-play of the HAS system, and best practices to ensure smooth cooperation between the different actors/stakeholders. During this session, CEN and CENELEC, together with Ernst & Young (EY) will provide guidance to Technical Committees on how to interact with HAS consultants, clarify the role of HAS consultants and provide hands-on information on the use of the EY tools developed for this purpose.
READ MOREThis webinar, co-organized with DG GROW-H2 (European Commission), will provide an overview of the on-going study aiming at grasping a better understanding on the extent to which European harmonized standards (hENs) safeguard the general principle of equity as to ensure products are equally safe for the European population in all its diversity; and how this exercise fits into CEN and CENELEC System.
