The construction sector is one of the main drivers of EU’s economy. Despite major efforts in harmonising and standardization of qualification and training procedures across the EU, the competence level of sustainability experts and the underlying training and education contents varies significantly between the Member States.
CEN and CENELEC is proud to contribute to the development of simulation as alternative to physical tests in railways with the new CEN/TR 17833:2022 developed by CEN/TC 256 ‘ Railways applications’ in close collaboration with CENELEC Rail experts (CENELEC/TC 9X).
The sheet metal forming sector faces a major challenge with respect manufacturing of metal sheet parts, represented by the lack of adequate test methods to assess sheet formability and part performance at the product design stage. This is essential to be able to develop high-performance parts at a reduced cost with new high strength materials, such as high strength steel (AHSS). Such high strength makes them processing sensitive, so forming parameters and sheet properties must be assessed to assure a zero-defect production and part quality, avoiding unexpected defects that cannot be predicted at the product design stage using traditional experimental or computational approaches.
This document describes and specifies the requirements of a simplified Sustainability Nanomanufacturing Framework (SNF) for sustainability management in nanomanufacturing pilot lines (NPLs), appropriate to their size, management capabilities and sustainability priorities.
New issue of the CEN-CENELEC newsletter 'On The Spot' is out now!
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an essential role across society, and contribute to foster the digital transition. Up-to-date, quality ICT professional standards underpin the digital ecosystem by applying a common language and identifying the essential professional benchmarks required to ensure high-quality ICT service provision.
2022 is the European Year of Youth. To celebrate this occasion, CEN and CENELEC are conducting a year-long campaign, which consists of a regular series of interviews with young professionals active in European standardization. In the fifth episode of the series, we get to know Saharnaz Dilmaghani, from Luxembourg.
The call for CEN and CENELEC Members to submit their nominations to the 2022 edition of Standards + Innovation Awards closed on 15 June.
The technical challenges that exist in the hatchery production of new and emerging Low Trophic Species (LTS) are significant, and to a large degree they are the same across species and sectors.
CEN and CENELEC developed a response to the consultation launched by the European Commission on its proposal for the revision of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). In the document, the two European Standardization Organisations welcome the objective of the proposal to achieve a well-functioning Single Market for construction products, avoid overlap of EU legislation and contribute to the EU objectives of the green and digital transition.
