This webinar will provide an overview of the rights of the 'Annex III organizations' - ANEC, ECOS, ETUC and SBS - in the CEN and CENELEC Technical Bodies and their added-value to the European Standardization System.

Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) and Direct Current (DC) technologies constitute a cornerstone for the European modern electricity landscape. At its core lie fundamental principles that set it apart from alternating current (AC) and grant it a prominent place in numerous applications.

A CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) is a deliverable developed and agreed by the participants of a temporary working group called CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop.

The success of the European standardisation system depends on the involvement standardisation system depends on the involvement of experts from business, public administration, civil society, research and of experts from business, public administration, civil society, research and science.

On 5 June, SBS and CEN-CENELEC are co-organising a workshop with the support of the Belgian FPS Economy.
The goal of the workshop, organised under the High-Level Forum on European standardisation (HLF) and its workstream on inclusiveness in national standardisation, is to tackle issues of access and participation in standardisation at the national level and discuss and promote best practices.

European Standards are at the core of the Single Market. Over the last 30 years, the European Standardization System has delivered more than 3600 harmonized standards, allowing industry and SMEs to demonstrate compliance with EU law in a resource and cost-efficient way.

In light of recent significant regulatory changes within the European Union impacting the transport sector, the role of European standardization becomes increasingly critical in facilitating the transition towards the deployment of alternative fuels.

CountEmissions EU will ensure better comparability and transparency of GHG emissions of passengers and freight transport services thereby incentivising behavioural change among businesses and customers towards reducing GHG emissions and making transport services more efficient. EN ISO 14083, newly published in 2023, provides an internationally recognized basis upon which can be used for this.

The objective of this webinar is to describe the new process for harmonized standards that are developed in parallel with ISO and IEC. The goal of this new process is to improve the timely delivery of compliant EN ISO/IEC harmonised Standards, by building on principles of the innovative process, while minimizing interferences with international project timeframes. The new process applies to all projects under parallel development reaching the CD stage at ISO and IEC level.

In December 2024, the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR EU 2023/988) will enter into force and will repeal the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD 2001/95/EC). What impact for standardization?
This webinar will provide participants with practical information to ensure a smooth transition for the preparation of CEN and CENELEC standards to be cited in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under the new GPSR.
