LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am very pleased to introduce this Annual Report presenting CENELEC’s activities and achievements in 2013, which was my first year as CENELEC President. Indeed, it was an extremely busy year that saw not just the introduction of a new legal framework for European standardization (EU Regulation 1025/2012), but also the adoption, together with our CEN colleagues, of a common set of ambitions describing what we want to achieve in the coming years, up until 2020.

The ambitions that were adopted by the General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC in June 2013 include Global influence, Regional relevance, Wider recognition, Network of excellence, Innovation and growth, and Sustainable system. Both of our organizations have committed themselves to working towards these ambitions by developing joint actions as well as parallel initiatives, taking into account the different domains we cover, as well as the wishes of our respective members.

2013 was also the last year of the implementation of the previous CENELEC strategy, and many of our achievements will provide us with a solid basis for working towards the ambitions we have adopted for the years up to 2020. Our ‘Strategy 2010-2013’, as well as our ‘Ambitions to 2020’, place a strong focus on developing cooperation and partnerships with a view to ensuring the continued relevance, adaptation and sustainability of our system. In CENELEC we have succeeded in building stronger relationships with a wide range of partners, including the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and our counterparts around the world, as well as the business community, the European Commission (EC) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

Regarding our cooperation with the EC and EFTA, in 2013 CENELEC adopted another 132 harmonized standards that can be used by companies to demonstrate that their products conform to the essential requirements set out in EU Directives. Meanwhile, the European legislative framework for standardization has been strengthened with the introduction of the new EU Regulation 1025/2012, which has also confirmed the role of CEN and CENELEC in supporting European legislation and policies.

In 2013, we have focused on making sure that CENELEC and its members are able to fulfil the new reporting obligations set out in Regulation 1025/2012, and we have also worked on adapting the system in order to make it easier for various stakeholders to contribute to the standards development process. In this context, we have paid particular attention to ensuring that SMEs and societal stakeholders are able to access and use our system, and supporting these stakeholders to get involved in relevant standardization activities.

Promoting the effective participation of all stakeholders is a major objective for CENELEC. As part of our efforts to facilitate the involvement of industry and other stakeholders, we have worked with our CEN colleagues to simplify the rules and procedures that enable European organizations and other stakeholders to participate in our activities on an ongoing basis. The new CEN-CENELEC Guide 25 provides a common framework for developing such

cooperation. Since it was adopted by our General Assembly in June 2013, CENELEC has approved 11 applications for ‘Partner organization’ status and 15 applications for ‘Liaison organization’ status (up until April 2014), and we expect that more organizations will join our community in the coming months.

This focus on streamlining our various partnerships has enabled us to ensure that standardization needs are being properly addressed and also that we are embracing a ‘system approach’ to various topics that cut across traditional sectors and fields. In this respect, an important area of technical activity relates to ‘Smart Grids’ that serve the needs of both energy consumers and producers. Here CENELEC is cooperating closely with CEN and ETSI through the Smart Grid Coordination Group (SG-CG), which is responsible for ensuring the completion of work requested by the European Commission (under EC Mandate 490).

For CENELEC and for our partners in Europe’s electrotechnical sector, the market is truly global. This is why our successive strategies have always placed a key emphasis on our collaboration with the IEC and on our contribution to its standardization activities. Therefore, it makes me very proud to see that our cooperation with IEC is growing closer and more fruitful every year. More than two-thirds (69%) of all CENELEC standards are identical to those published by IEC, and the majority of new CENELEC standards (58%) are being adopted at both European and international levels using parallel voting procedures, in accordance with the Dresden Agreement.

In 2013, we contributed to further improving the European contribution to international standards by integrating the CENELEC and IEC voting systems, which makes it easier for our Members to participate in parallel votes. Moreover, we also strengthened the coordination between the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC) and the IEC Central Office by setting up a Management Coordination Group.

In CEN and CENELEC, we are also thinking about the long-term future of the European Standardization System, which is why ‘Sustainable system’ is one of our six ambitions to 2020. This is partly about ensuring the financial sustainability of the system, but it also means encouraging and helping the next generation of professionals to learn about standardization and find out how they can get involved. In 2013, we continued to develop our activities in the framework of our ‘Masterplan on Education about Standardization’ and in close cooperation with various stakeholders, such as EURAS - the European Academy for Standardization.

As CENELEC President, I am conscious of the fact that none of our activities can succeed without the active involvement of our 33 Members and the whole of the CENELEC community. Therefore, on behalf of the CENELEC Administrative Board, I would like to thank all of our Members and Affiliates, our Partner and Liaison organizations, and all of the individuals who participate in the work of our Technical Committees and Working Groups. We are very grateful for all your contributions in 2013, and we continue to count on your commitment!

CENELEC COMMUNITYCENELEC offers an inclusive platform that is accessible to all interested stakeholders: companies of all sizes - including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), consumer groups, societal and environmental interests, public sector organizations, academics and researchers.

The Members of CENELEC are the National Electrotechnical Committees of 33 European countries They are recognized as being able to represent all standardization interests in their respective countries, in accordance with the ‘national delegation principle’. CENELEC Members include the National Electrotechnical Committees of 28 European Union Member States and three Member States of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) plus two EU candidate countries (Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).

The CENELEC community also includes Affil iates, which are the National Electrotechnical Committees of countries that are recognized as candidates or potential candidates for membership of the European Union, or are covered by the EU’s European Neighbourhood Policy. Affiliates may choose to participate in any CENELEC Technical Committee (TC) with observer status, on condition that they implement any European Standards (ENs) that are developed by the TC as national standards and withdraw any conflicting national standards. At the end of 2013, CENELEC had 13 Affiliates in the following countries: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia and Ukraine.

CENELEC GENERAL ASSEMBLYThe 53nd CENELEC General Assembly was held in Copenhagen (Denmark) on 20 June 2013, hosted by Danish Standards (DS). Regarding the implementation of CENELEC’s Strategy 2010-2013, Members agreed that positive progress had been achieved, although further action would be needed in relation to a number of the objectives.

In order to follow-up the CENELEC Strategy 2010-2013 (and also the CEN Strategy 2011-2013), the General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC both approved the document ‘CEN and CENELEC’s ambitions to 2020’. This document sets out a series of six goals that both organizations will work towards in the coming years.

The following persons were elected as members of the CENELEC Administrative Board from 1 January 2014: Roberto Bacci (CEI, Italy), Asen Georgiev (TESY, Bulgaria) and Thierry Lefebvre (Electricité de France). The General Assembly also elected two new Vice-Presidents to serve two-year terms starting on 1 January 2014: Bogdan Topi was elected to take over from Claude Breining as CENELEC Vice-President Finance, while Uwe Kampet was elected to take over from Carlo Masetti as Vice-President Technical.

NEW FRAMEWORK OF PARTNERSHIPIn 2013, the General Assemblies of CEN and CENELEC both adopted a common framework of revised rules and procedures that provide clear options for European organizations and other stakeholders that wish to cooperate with CEN and/or CENELEC on a continuous basis and contribute to standardization activities at European level. The new CEN-CENELEC Guide 25 ‘The concept of Partnership with European Organisations and other stakeholders’ was developed following extensive consultations with the members and stakeholders of CEN and CENELEC.

Under the new framework, which entered into force on 1 January 2014, there are six different types of status, depending on the specific nature and interests of each organization that wishes to cooperate with CEN and/or CENELEC. Following this transition, the category of ‘CENELEC Cooperating Partners’ is no longer valid. CENELEC has accorded the status of ‘Partner organization’ to 11 organizations, and the status of ‘Liaison organization’ to another 15 organizations [these figures were correct on 30 April 2014].

Following the introduction of the new policy on partnership, CENELEC (and CEN) will continue to collaborate closely with the European Commission and EFTA. The new framework also creates the possibility for EU Agencies and other European intergovernmental organisations to be recognized as ‘European Institutional Stakeholders’ of CEN and/or CENELEC.

CEN and CENELEC are confident that their new framework for partnership will contribute to the strengthening of the European Standardization System by facilitating the active involvement of a wide range of organizations representing different stakeholders.

In 2013, the CENELEC BT approved the creation of 4 new Technical Committees (TCs): CLC/TC 10 ‘Fluids for electrotechnical applications’, CLC/TC 34A ‘Lamps’, CLC/TC 95X ‘Measuring relays and protection equipment’ and CLC/TC 7X ‘Overhead electrical conductors’.

CENELEC BT accepted 2 new standardization requests from the European Commission in 2013. These relate to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (EC Mandate 518) and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (EC Mandate 519). It also accepted an amendment to EC Mandates 101 and 126 (construction products), as well as 3 amendments (technical updates) to EC Mandate 495 (harmonized standards in the field of Ecodesign).

TECHNICAL BODY OFFICERSA seminar was organized at the CEN-CENELEC Meeting Centre in Brussels on 4 and 5 December 2013 for the officers of Technical Bodies who are responsible for managing standardization activities and developing standards at European level. This event, intended for the chairpersons and secretaries of Technical Bodies supported by CEN and CENELEC, attracted more than 80 participants. The seminar covered various developments in the world of standardization, with a particular focus on ‘Rules and processes’ and ‘Adapting to market needs’.

TECHNICAL BODY AWARDS Standardization depends on the commitment and hard work of countless experts who participate in technical bodies and contribute to the drafting of standards on a voluntary basis. Perhaps the greatest contribution to the CENELEC system is made by those who accept the responsibility of chairing Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs). This is why, once every 2 years, CENELEC presents awards to some the most dedicated and hard-working TC Chairs, who are selected by the Technical Board.

The core business of CENELEC is to support the development, adoption and publication of European Standards and other standardization deliverables that meet the needs of European businesses (including SMEs) and other stakeholders in the fields of electricity, electronics and related technologies.

This important work brings concrete benefits to European industry, consumers and society as a whole. These benefits include: improving the performance and safety of products and systems; reinforcing the Single Market and enabling economic growth; supporting the dissemination of innovation and facilitating the spread of new technologies.

In order to prepare and produce state-of-the-art standards, CENELEC brings together the knowledge of experts through its network of 33 National Committees (plus 13 Affiliates) and continuous cooperation with organizations representing various stakeholders.

This report presents the main outcomes of activities carried out by CENELEC in 2013. Please note that the outcomes of joint activities carried out in cooperation with CEN are presented in a separate report on CEN-CENELEC activities in 2013.

CENELEC TECHNICAL BOARDThe CENELEC Technical Board (BT) is responsible for managing the electrotechnical standards work programme and promoting its speedy execution by the responsible Technical Bodies.

In the spirit of continuous improvement and in the framework of the CENELEC Strategy 2010-2013, CENELEC BT completed the implementation of its ‘Action Plan’. The aims of this plan included: intensifying cooperation with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), improving the participation of experts in the technical work, and monitoring and controlling the progress of the standardization process.

CENELEC Technical Body Awards 2013 (from left to right): Dominique Beck (CLC/TC 205); Phil Chadwick (CLC/TC 106X); Andrea Legnani, who received the award for Fabio Gargantini (CLC/TC 61); Christian Verholt (CLC/TC 210); Tore Trondvold (CENELEC President) and Wim De Kesel (CLC/TC 23BX).

The majority of CENELEC deliverables are being developed and adopted in collaboration with the IEC, using parallel approval procedures in the framework of the Dresden Agreement (signed in 1996). The result of this partnership is that 75% of all the standards published by CENELEC are either identical to or very similar to international standards published by the IEC.

CENELEC and the IEC are working together with their Members in order to speed-up the process for the adoption of standards. In this regard, the voting period for draft standards (Committee Drafts for Vote) has been reduced to 3 months (in most cases). This also applies to so-called ‘homegrown’ standards, which are developed by CENELEC outside the framework of its cooperation with the IEC.

CENELEC’s delegation to the 77th IEC General Meeting in New Delhi (India), from 21 to 25 October 2013, was led by the CENELEC President, Tore Trondvold, accompanied by the Director General of CEN and CENELEC, Elena Santiago Cid.

The Technical Body Awards Ceremony 2013 took place in Brussels on 4 December, just before the joint CEN-CENELEC Technical Bodies Seminar.

Golden pins were presented to 5 CENELEC TC Chairs: Wim De Kesel (Chair of CLC/TC 23BX ‘Switches, boxes and enclosures for household and similar purposes, plugs and socket outlets for d.c. and for the charging of electrical vehicles including their connectors’ since 2001), Fabio Gargantini (Chair of CLC/TC 61 ‘Safety of household and similar electrical appliances’ since 2005), Phil Chadwick (Chair of CLC/TC 106X ‘Electromagnetic fields in the human environment ‘ since 2002), Dominique Beck (Chair of CLC/TC 205 ‘Home and Building Electronic Systems’ since 2004) and Christian Verholt (Chair of CLC/TC 210 ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’ from 2002 until 2012).

COOPERATION WITH IEC Maintaining its close cooperation with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) remains a strategic priority for CENELEC.

In 2013, the CENELEC BT approved the creation of 4 new Technical Committees (TCs): CLC/TC 10 ‘Fluids for electrotechnical applications’, CLC/TC 34A ‘Lamps’, CLC/TC 95X ‘Measuring relays and protection equipment’ and CLC/TC 7X ‘Overhead electrical conductors’.

STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES IN 2013CENELEC provides a European platform for the standardization of products and systems in the fields of electricity, electronics and related technologies. Here we present the main outcomes of standardization activities that were developed in the framework of CENELEC during 2013.

Please note that the outcomes of joint activities carried out by CENELEC in cooperation with CEN are presented in a separate report on CEN-CENELEC activities in 2013.

ELECTROTECHNOLOGY

● Electronics

The Technical Committee ‘Power electronics’ (CLC/TC 22X) has continued to work on developing the EN 50598 series of standards ‘Ecodesign for power drive systems, motor starters, power electronics and their driven applications’ as requested by the European Commission in the framework of Mandates 476 and 495. The 3 parts of this series were circulated to CENELEC Members for Enquiry in September 2013. The results of this work will also be useful for other applications that make use of motor systems.

A number of CENELEC Technical Bodies are collaborating with IEC on standardization activities that are being undertaken at international level. They ensure that the needs and interests of European industry and other stakeholders are taken into consideration during the standards development process, and that the resulting standards are in line with the requirements of relevant EU legislation (including the EMC, R&TTE and LV Directives).

In 2013, CENELEC contributed to international standardization activities in relation to: ‘Capacitors and EMI suppression components’ (CLC/TC 40XA), ‘Resistors’

CENELEC PUBLICATIONSWithin the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (CCMC), the Standards Publications Unit is responsible for processing and editing the texts of all CENELEC deliverables in accordance with the Internal Regulations. The careful and systematic editing of documents, according to a consistent set of rules, ensures that high quality publications are delivered to CENELEC members and their customers.

The number of technical documents published by CENELEC in 2013 was 454. These publications included: 432 European Standards (EN) and Harmonization Documents (HD), 7 Technical Specifications (TS), 5 Technical Reports (TR), 2 Workshop Agreements (CWA) and 8 Guides. At the end of the year, the total number of valid (or ‘living’) CENELEC documents was 6 910 (including 54 Guides).

In 2013, CCMC introduced the practice of consolidating amendments into so-called ‘homegrown’ CENELEC standards at publication stage. This means that CENELEC Members receive the consolidated text, rather than just the amendment itself. They can then provide their customers with a complete document that contains the whole standard, and clearly identifies any changes brought about by the amendment.

CCMC has also started the process of upgrading the production line for technical documents, so that CEN and CENELEC Members will be able to receive standards and other deliverables in XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) format.

European Commission for additional EMC and radio standardization work supporting implementation of the 800 MHz Decision (or ‘Digital Dividend’). This relates to the switchover from analogue to digital television broadcasting, which makes a significant section of the radio spectrum available for other services, such as high-speed mobile internet (notably ‘4G’).

CENELEC and ETSI have started the process of setting up a Joint Working Group ‘Digital Dividend’, in order to coordinate their respective standardization activities in this area. On the CENELEC side, specific activities are being developed by CLC/TC 210 ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’ and CLC/TC 209 ‘Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services’.

ENERGY

● Electricity supply

CENELEC has continued to work on the development of standards to support the successful integration of the European electricity market. Much of this work is associated with a request from the European Commission (Mandate 511) for harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). The previous edition of the LVD (2006/95/EC) was revised during 2013 and has since been replaced by a new Directive (2014/35/EU).

CENELEC is cooperating with the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) in order to ensure the mutual compatibility of European Standards and Network Codes. In order to further develop their cooperation, CENELEC (together with CEN) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ENTSO-E In September 2013.

● Solar energy

In CENELEC, the Technical Committee ‘Solar photovoltaic energy systems’ (CLC/TC 82) develops European Standards that enable

(CLC/TC 40XB), ‘Semiconductor devices’ (CLC/SR 47), ‘Electronics assembly technology’ (CLC/SR 91), ‘Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment and related sub-systems’ (CLC/TC 100X) and ‘Safety of electronic equipment within the fields of Audio/Video, Information Technology and Communication Technology’ (CLC/TC 108X).

● Cables

CENELEC has continued to develop standardization activities in relation to power, control and communication cables in the framework of EC Mandate 443 and in support of the Construction Products Regulation or ‘CPR’ (EU 305/2011). This work is being carried out by the Technical Committees that deal with ‘Electric cables’ (CLC/TC 20), ‘Communication cables’ (CLC/TC 46X) and ‘Optical fibres and optical fibre cables’ (CLC/TC 86A). Where necessary, CENELEC cooperates with the other European Standardization Organizations (CEN and/or ETSI).

Several CENELEC Technical Bodies are contributing to international standardization activities, in order to ensure that the needs of European stakeholders and the requirements of EU legislation (notably the EMC and LV Directives) are taken into account. These bodies include: CLC/TC 86BXA ‘Fibre optic interconnect, passive and connectorised components’, CLC/TC 209 ‘Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services’, CLC/TC 213 ‘Cable management systems’ and CLC/TC 215 ‘Electrotechnical aspects of telecommunication equipment’.

● Electromagnetic compatibility

CENELEC has continued to develop standards that enable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in line with relevant EU legislation (EMC Directive 2004/108/EC), mainly through its Technical Committee ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’ (CLC/TC 210).

In March 2013, CENELEC (together with ETSI) accepted a request from the

the harmonization of technologies in relation to wafers, cells and terrestrial photovoltaic modules, BOS (Balance-of-System) components, interfaces of photovoltaic systems and system integration. CENELEC also contributes to the standardization activities of the international Technical Committee IEC/TC 82.

In 2013, CLC/TC 82 initiated work to develop, revise or amend standards in relation to: ‘Solar trackers for photovoltaic systems’ (EN 62817), ‘Connectors for DC-application in photovoltaic systems’ (EN 62852), ‘Junction boxes for photovoltaic modules’ (EN 50548 and EN 62790), and ‘Photovoltaic module safety qualification - Requirements for construction’ (EN 61730-1).

● Wind energy

The CENELEC Technical Committee ‘Wind turbines’ (CLC/TC 88) is responsible for developing and adopting European Standards to meet the needs of Europe’s wind energy industry. These standards are concerned with all sub-systems of wind turbines, such as mechanical and internal electrical systems, foundations and support structures as well as control and protection systems. CENELEC also collaborates with the international Technical Committee IEC/TC 88, in order to support the expansion of the global market for wind turbine technologies.

In 2013, CENELEC published standards relating to ‘design requirements for wind turbine gearboxes’ (EN 61400-4), ‘acoustic noise measurement technique’s (EN 61400-11), and ‘power performance of electricity-producing wind turbines based on nacelle anemometry’ (EN 61400-12). CLC/TC 88 also started working on two standards relating to ‘communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants’ (parts 25-2 and 25-3 of the EN 61400 series).

ENVIRONMENTCENELEC’s Techn ica l Commit tee ‘Environment’ (CLC/TC 111X) is responsible for developing standards that facilitate environmental protection in the electrotechnical field. During 2013, CENELEC produced standards in relation to ‘Environmental standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems’ (EN 62542) and the ‘Determination of certain substances in electrotechnical products’ (EN 62321-1).

● �Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

In March 2013, the CENELEC Technical Board accepted a request from the European Commission regarding standardization in the field of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EC Mandate 518). In this context, the Technical Committee ‘Environment’ (CLC/TC 111X) is developing standards that support the implementation of the relevant EU Directive (WEEE - 2012/19/EU). The resulting documents will cover all stages of the treatment of waste equipment (including recovery, recycling and preparing for re-use), taking the needs of all interested stakeholders into account.

In the framework of EC Mandate 518, the European Standard EN 50625-1 ‘Collection, logistics & Treatment requirements for WEEE - Part 1: General treatment requirements’ was finalized in 2013 and approved by CENELEC Members in January 2014. Work on preparing and drafting a number of other standards was initiated in 2013 and will continue in 2014.

● Batteries and accumulators

The CENELEC Technical Body ‘Primary cells and batteries’ continued its work in the framework of EC Mandate 494, regarding the elaboration of a feasibility study in the field of the batteries Directive (2006/66/EC). In this regard, CLC/SR 35 finalized a report about methods of measuring the capacity of portable primary batteries, taking into account the inputs of interested stakeholders.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONIn addition to its joint activities with CEN, and their common activities with ETSI (which are covered in the CEN-CENELEC Annual Report), CENELEC also develops its own international cooperation activities with a particular focus on electrotechnical standardization.

CENELEC is fully committed to supporting international standardization and holds most of its dialogues with international partners within the framework of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In addition, CENELEC also contributes to discussions and projects that promote a better understanding of the European Standardization System and stronger links with its partners around the world, including national and regional electrotechnical standardization organizations.

● IEC General Meeting

In the framework of the 77th IEC General Meeting in New Delhi (India), from 21 to 25 October 2013, the CENELEC delegation met colleagues from a number of its international partners including AFSEC (African Electrotechnical Standardization Commission), JISC (Japanese Industrial Standards Committee) and USNC (United States National Committee). These bilateral meetings served as opportunities to exchange information and identify possible areas for future cooperation.

Alongside the IEC General Meeting in New Delhi, CENELEC organized an interactive information session with the Seconded European Standardization Expert in India (SESEI), Mr Dinesh Chand Sharma, in cooperation with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the National Committee on ICTE (Information, Communication Technology & Electronics) Manufacturing. This event was attended by representatives of various stakeholders including electrotechnical industries, public authorities, etc. It provided a good opportunity to promote the European Standardization System and the SESEI project, and to establish links between European and Indian stakeholders.

● Cooperation with AFSEC

CENELEC cooperates closely with its African counterpart AFSEC (African Electrotechnical Standardization Commission), and attended the third AFSEC General Assembly, which was held in Nairobi, Kenya in August 2013. CENELEC took this opportunity to hold bilateral meetings with the National Committees of several African countries, including those of Egypt, Ghana and Kenya.

Specific areas of cooperation between CENELEC and AFSEC were further explored throughout the year, notably in the field of Smart Grids. CENELEC also supports the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Country Affiliation Programme, through which a number of CENELEC Members provide mentoring to National Committees in African countries.

ABOUT CENELEC The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) is one of three officially recognized organizations responsible for developing and defining standards at European level (alongside CEN and ETSI). CENELEC provides a platform for the development, adoption and revision of European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies.

CENELEC brings together the National Electrotechnical Committees of 33 European countries. These include all 28 Member States of the European Union and three Member States of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) plus two EU candidate countries (Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).

The members of CENELEC work together with various stakeholders - including industry, SMEs, societal stakeholders, public sector bodies, academics and researchers - to develop voluntary European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables.

CENELEC contributes to meeting the needs of industry and other stakeholders, completing the European Single Market and strengthening Europe’s position in the global economy.

CENELEC works in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to coordinate their respective activities and enable the alignment of European and international standards. More than two-thirds of all CENELEC standards are identical to IEC standards.

CENELEC cooperates with the European Commission to develop and adopt harmonized standards and other deliverables that support the implementation of EU policies and legislation.

CENELEC collaborates with the other European Standardization Organizations (CEN and ETSI) to develop joint activities in areas of common interest, and to promote and strengthen the European Standardization System for the benefit of businesses, consumers and society as a whole.
