3. Introduction
Every day millions of businesses are applying
and using European Standards because they
are valuable tools that can help to ensure the
quality and safety of products and services, achieve
compatibility between different products and
components, access markets and sell to
customers worldwide, satisfy customers’
expectations and requirements, reduce costs,
eliminate waste and improve efficiency.
Most European Standards are developed in
response to specific needs that have been
identified by business, industry and other
potential users of standards. About 30% of
European Standards reply to European Policy
initiatives upon requests from the European
Commission. These harmonized standards
provide presumption of conformity with essential
requirements that have been set out in European
legislation.
While
businesses,
organizations
and
consumers can enjoy a wide range of
benefits by using European standards and
applying them correctly, there are several reasons
why many also choose to actively participate in
the development of standards by getting involved
in standardization. You can help to shape the
content of new standards that will affect your
industry and/or interests, while they are being
prepared.
In this Work Programme, we provide you with an
overview of the standardization activities planned
for 2014 in the different fields and sectors that
CEN and CENELEC are dealing with.
European standardization activities support
the dissemination of knowledge about new
technologies and innovations, and can help to
bridge the gap between research, innovation and
the market. In particular, CEN and CENELEC are
identifying ways in which European Standards
can contribute to a more efficient use of energy
and other resources, reduce waste and minimize
negative impacts on the environment.
I hope that it provides you with insight into
our activities planned for 2014. You can
find further details and a comprehensive
overview on our standardization work on
the CEN-CENELEC (www.cencenelec.eu), CEN
(www.cen.eu) and CENELEC (www.cenelec.eu)
websites, where regular updates are provided.
We are constantly looking for ways to reply
to emerging needs and to evolve with the
changing nature of business in different
domains. The main route for businesses
and other stakeholders to get involved in
standardization is via our Members: the
National Standardization Bodies and National
Electrotechnical Committees in 33 countries.
You will find a complete list of all CEN and
CENELEC members at the end of this publication.
I wish you interesting reading, and look forward to
your active participation in standardization in 2014
and beyond.
Elena SANTIAGO CID
Director General of CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014
Introduction
The standardization activities of CEN and
CENELEC cover products, processes and
services across a wide range of traditional
sectors like air and space, construction and civil
engineering, chemicals, consumer products,
household goods and electrical appliances,
defence, security and privacy, electrotechnology
including electrical engineering, automation and
electronics, food and feed, healthcare, machinery,
materials, nanotechnologies, pressure equipment,
transport, etc.
CEN and CENELEC also provide a platform
for developing standardization activities in
emerging fields such as ‘smart’ technologies,
e-Health, e-Education encompassing ICT skills
and e-Learning, Intelligent Transport Systems,
etc. Our standards are also responding to major
societal challenges and having a direct impact
on the quality of life, such as in relation to
accessibility and assisted living, during a time
when ageing is one of the greatest social and
economic challenges facing our societies.

5. Accessibility
Accessibility refers to the extent to which
products, systems, services, environments,
buildings or facilities can be accessed and
used by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and older people.
CEN and CENELEC are committed to making
sure that European Standards take accessibility
into account, for example by addressing
the principle of accessibility and applying a
‘Design for All’ approach during the development
of standards.
CEN and CENELEC cooperate with the
international
standardization
organizations
(ISO and IEC) to ensure that accessibility is
addressed during the drafting of new standards and the revision of existing standards. They
are actively contributing to the ongoing revision
of ISO/IEC Guide 71 ‘Guidelines for addressing
accessibility in standards’. The current
version of this guide was published in 2001,
and has also been adopted at European level (as
CEN-CENELEC Guide 6).
CEN and CENELEC will:
• work with relevant stakeholders to
ensure that the role of standardization is
recognized and reflected in the framework
of the ‘European Accessibility Act’;
• liaise with the European Innovation
Partnership on Active and Healthy
Ageing, in order to identify how
standardization activities could contribute to meeting the needs of an ageing
society and supporting the growth of the
‘silver economy’.
While the concept of ‘accessibility’ has
existed for several decades, it has become
more of a priority for public policies in recent years. The UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities (2006) highlights the
importance of ensuring equal access to the
physical
environment,
transportation,
information and communications, and other
facilities and services, so that persons with
disabilities can live independently and
participate fully in all aspects of life.
Accessibility
The European Disability Strategy 2010-2020
states that legislative and other instruments,
including standardization, should be used to
ensure the accessibility of goods and
services.
The
forthcoming
European
Accessibility Act (to be proposed in 2014) should
support the continued expansion of the market
for accessible goods and services, especially
in relation to public procurement (i.e. the
purchasing of goods and services by public
authorities) throughout Europe.
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2014

6. Design for All
The concept of accessible, universal or
barrier-free design (also known as ‘Design for
All’) relates to the objective of ensuring that a
product, building or service can be used by
as many people as possible. This may involve
designing products or services that are
readily usable by most users (without any
modification), making products that can be
adapted to different users, including older
people and people with disabilities, or having
standardized interfaces that are compatible
with products used by persons with disabilities
(i.e. ‘assistive technologies’).
The CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Group
‘Design for All’ (CEN-CLC JWG 5) is responsible for coordinating efforts to ensure that
accessibility is addressed during the development of standards for products and services
(in accordance with EC Mandate M/473).
CEN and CENELEC will start work
on developing a new European
Standard setting out how to implement
a ‘Design for All’ approach in the design,
development, production and provision
of goods and services.
Accessibility in the
built environment
Accessibility
CEN and CENELEC have set up a Joint Working
Group ‘Accessibility in the Built Environment’
(JWG 6), which is responsible for implementing
standardization activities in this area. These
include activities regarding accessibility
requirements for public procurement in the
built environment, in the framework of a
request from the European Commission (EC
mandate M/420).
4
CEN and CENELEC will start work on
the development of a European Standard
setting out functional accessibility
requirements in relation to the built
environment, which could be used as
technical specifications or as criteria for
awarding public contracts.

7. e-Accessibility
Accessible Tourism
e-Accessibility is about ensuring that people
with disabilities and older people can have
access to products and services that
are based on or related to information and
communication technologies (ICT). European
standardization work in this area is coordinated
by the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Joint Working Group
on e-Accessibility, which has been in charge
of responding to the EC Mandate M/376
‘European accessibility requirements for Public
Procurement of products and services in the ICT
domain’ (issued in 2005).
As older people and people with disabilities
or special needs together represent a
large (and growing) percentage of Europe’s
population, companies (including SMEs) and
other organizations are becoming increasingly
interested in finding ways to serve this
expanding market. Providers of tourism
services have a particular interest in
reaching the widest possible range of potential
customers. The idea of ‘accessible tourism’ also
corresponds with the goal of ensuring equal
opportunities for all in relation to all kinds of
leisure activities.
CEN and CENELEC, in partnership with
ETSI, will:
• publish a new European Standard
‘Accessibility requirements suitable for
public procurement of ICT products and
services in Europe’ (EN 301 549) together
with Technical Reports providing related
information and guidance;
CEN will engage in dialogue with
relevant stakeholders regarding the
possibility of developing a set of
guidelines on the ‘Universal Design of
Tourism Services’, which would take into
account the diverse needs of people with
disabilities and others with specific
access requirements.
• finalize the development of an online
toolkit to support the public procurement
of accessible ICT-related products and
services, which could be used by public
authorities and also by manufacturers
and providers throughout Europe;
• liaise with the European Commission and other stakeholders to identify
how standardization could contribute to
achieving the objectives of the proposed
EU Directive on the accessibility of public
sector bodies’ websites (COM(2012) 721).

In the Air and Space sector, CEN and CENELEC are developing and publishing standards in relation to
Aerospace, Air traffic management, and the Space industry.
Aerospace
Standards and technical specifications for
the aerospace industry are being developed
by the AeroSpace and Defence Industries
Association of Europe - Standardization
(ASD-STAN), which cooperates closely with
CEN. ASD-STAN is responsible for the technical
content of standards defining products,
materials, test methods and procedures for the
construction, maintenance and use of aircraft
and space vehicles including their propulsion
units and equipment. It develops specifications
for aerospace applications, mainly in the field
of engineering materials and components, and
submits them to CEN for adoption as European
Standards.
CEN will:
• continue to cooperate with ASD-STAN
in order to ensure the timely adoption of
standards that are required by Europe’s
Aerospace industry;
• continue discussions with relevant
stakeholders on the possibility of developing one or more standards in relation
to ‘cabin air quality’ in passenger aircraft.

Bio-based products
Bio-based products are products wholly or partly
derived from biomass, which mostly consists
of plants and materials derived from plants.
One of the main reasons for the increasing
level of interest in commercial applications of
bio-based products is the fact that biomass is a
renewable resource and therefore these products can contribute to a more efficient use of
natural resources. In many cases, bio-based
products can also offer unique properties with
additional functionalities.
Standards for bio-based products can help to
increase market transparency by providing
common reference methods in order to verify
claims about these products (e.g. biodegradability, sustainability). The need for
standards in this area has been highlighted by
the European Commission in its recent Communications ‘Innovating for Sustainable Growth:
A Bioeconomy for Europe’ (COM(2012) 60) and
‘A Stronger European Industry for Growth and
Economic Recovery’ (COM(2012) 582).
CEN is developing European Standards and
other deliverables covering horizontal aspects
of bio-based products as well as standards for
specific bio-based product groups. Much of
this work relates to standardization requests
from the European Commission, namely the
mandates M/430, M/491 and M/492. Horizontal
standardization activities in this area are being
coordinated by the CEN Technical Committee
‘Bio-based products’ (CEN/TC 411).
CEN will:
• continue
to
develop
horizontal
standards for bio-based products and
publish a new European Standard
(EN 16575) on terminology related to
bio-based products (EC Mandate M/492);

Sustainability
The CEN Technical Committee ‘Construction
Products - Assessment of release of dangerous
substances’ (CEN/TC 351) is responsible
for developing methods to assess the
release of dangerous substances in the
environment, in accordance with EC mandate
M/366. Several Technical Specifications are
being developed that, after validation, will be
revised into European Standards.
The CEN Technical Committee ‘Sustainability
of Construction works’ (CEN/TC 350) is in
charge of developing standardized methods
for assessing the sustainability aspects of
new and existing construction works, and
standards for the environmental product
declaration of construction products, in line
with the European Standard ‘Sustainability
of construction works - Environmental product
declarations - Core rules for the product category of construction products’ (EN 15804:2012).
CEN will finalize a series of Technical
Specifications setting out methods
for testing the release of dangerous
substances into the environment
(indoor air, groundwater and soil).
Energy performance
The European Commission has asked CEN to
develop standards to promote the energy efficiency
of buildings, including a methodology for calculating
the energy performance of buildings, in line with
the EU Directive on the energy performance of
buildings (2010/31/EU). The CEN Project
Committee ‘Energy Performance of Buildings’
(CEN/TC 371) is in charge of coordinating this work,
in accordance with EC mandate M/480.
CEN will proceed with the incorporation
of sustainability aspects into European
Standards for various types of construction
products such as: thermal insulation
products; round and sawn timber and
precast concrete products. The standard
relating to round and sawn timber (EN
16485) should be ready in April 2014.
Specific standards are being developed by the CEN
Technical Committees that deal with ‘Thermal
performance of buildings and building components’
(CEN/TC 89), ‘Ventilation for buildings’ (CEN/TC
156), ‘Light and lighting’ (CEN/TC 169), ‘Heating
systems in buildings’ (CEN/TC 228), and ‘Building
automation, controls and building management’
(CEN/TC 247). Each new European Standard will
be accompanied by a Technical Report with
examples and background information.
Construction
CEN will produce draft standards in
relation to ‘Thermal performance of
buildings and building components’,
‘Ventilation for buildings’, ‘Light and
lighting’, ‘Heating systems in buildings’,
and ‘Building automation, controls and
building management’ (EC mandate

Defence and Security
Our societies are increasingly being confronted
with various kinds of security threats, including
man-made threats such as terrorism and
organized crime, natural disasters, pandemics
and major technical accidents. The ability of the
responsible public authorities and emergency
services to respond to such threats depends on
having common terminology and procedures,
compatible equipment and communication
systems. Standardization can contribute to overcoming fragmentation in this field by increasing
interoperability and compatibility of systems and
products.
• organize a seminar to discuss the
results from various relevant European
research projects and identify possible
needs for new standardization activities in

Electrical engineering
Automation
CENELEC develops European Standards
and it also adopts international standards
(developed and published by the International
Electrotechnical Commission - IEC) as
European Standards, addressing safety,
performance and testing aspects. These
standards support the implementation of
the EU Directives relating to: electromagnetic compatibility (‘EMC’ 2004/108/EC);
radio equipment and telecommunications
terminal equipment (‘R&TTE’ 1999/5/EC)
and low voltage electrical equipment
(‘LVD’ 2006/95/EC). CENELEC also develops
and adopts standards for medium and high
voltage electrical equipment (on a voluntary
basis).
CENELEC works in close cooperation with ETSI
(European Telecommunications Standards
Institute) in the framework of the CENELECETSI Coordination Group on Wireless
Communication for Industrial Automation.
This group coordinates standardization work
in relation to home and building electronic
systems, building automation and control
systems, industrial process measurement,
control and automation. Standards in this area
are important for numerous applications, for
example to enable the realization of the so-called
‘Smart House’.
Resource efficient ICT
CENELEC develops and adopts standards
to support the efficient and sustainable use of
electrotechnical products and systems. The
Technical Committee on ‘Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment’ (CLC/
TC 215) develops standards addressing issues
of energy efficiency and sustainability in relation
to
information
and
communication
technologies (ICT), notably in the framework
of specific requests from the European Commission (mandates M/462 & M/495). This includes
standardization work in relation to data centres,
which are facilities used to house computer
systems and associated components, such as
telecommunications and storage systems.
Electrotechnology
For more information on EcoDesign standards,
see Chapter 10 (Energy).

requirements of the ‘R&TTE’ Directive
(1999/5/EC).
Cables
CENELEC collaborates with ETSI on a range
of issues that relate to networks for ICT,
implementing new technologies, equipment
and services. Much of the relevant standardization work takes place in the CENELEC
Technical Committees that deal with ‘Electric
Cables’ (CLC/TC 20), ‘Communication cables’
(CLC/TC 46X), ‘Optical fibres and optical fibre
cables’ (CLC/TC 86A), and ‘Electrotechnical
aspects of telecommunication equipment’
(CLC/TC 215).
Electromagnetic compatibility
CENELEC develops standards that enable
electromagnetic compatibility in line with
relevant EU legislation (EMC Directive
2004/108/EC), mainly through its Technical
Committee ‘Electromagnetic Compatibility’
(CLC/TC 210). This TC has started to develop
and adopt standards in relation to ‘Power line
communication apparatus used in lowvoltage installations - Radio disturbance
characteristics - Limits and methods of
measurement’(EN 50561 series).
CENELEC is also undertaking standardization
work that has been requested by the European
Commission to support the implementation of
harmonized technical rules on the allocation
of radio frequencies in the 800 MHz band.
This relates to the switchover from analogue
to digital television broadcasting, which
will make a significant section of the radio
spectrum available for high-speed wireless
internet services.
CENELEC will:
• continue working to develop and adopt
standards in relation to ‘Power line
communication apparatus used in lowvoltage installations’ (EN 50561 series);
• initiate work to support the implementation of harmonized technical rules on
allocating radio frequencies for high-speed
wireless internet services.

Solar energy
Generating electricity from solar energy,
using photovoltaic panels, has become a huge
global industry in recent years. In CENELEC,
the Technical Committee ‘Solar photovoltaic
energy systems’ (CLC/TC 82) develops
European Standards that enable harmonization of technologies in relation to wafers, cells
and terrestrial photovoltaic modules or to BOS
(Balance-of-System) components, interfaces of
photovoltaic systems and system integration.
CENELEC (CLC/TC 82) works closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC/TC 82) to enable the adoption of international standards as European Standards.
A current project of CLC/TC 82 seeks to define
tests on photovoltaic modules with the aim of
reducing as much as possible fire hazards due
to misconnections between these modules and
electrical installations.
CENELEC will:
• develop and publish amendments
to European Standards relating to
construction requirements and junction
boxes for photovoltaic modules (EN
61730 & EN 50548);
• launch preparatory work leading to
the development of standardized test
methods for photovoltaic modules.

CEN and CENELEC will:
• finalize new European Standards setting
out how to conduct energy audits of
buildings, processes and transport (to be
published as parts 2, 3 & 4 of EN 16247);
• explore and analyse new standardization
needs in relation to energy management,
focusing in particular on possible needs
in relation to renewable energy sources;
• produce a roadmap setting out
standardization priorities in relation to
energy management and energy efficiency
in the transport sector.
Ecodesign
Ecodesign is an approach whereby manufacturers seek to minimize the amount of energy
used during the lifecycle of a product. The EU
Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC) establishes a framework for the setting of ecodesign
requirements for energy-related products. In
July 2011, the European Commission asked
the European Standardization Organizations
(CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) to develop European
Standards to support the implementation of the
Ecodesign Directive.

It is anticipated that the European Commission
will ask CEN and CENELEC to produce
horizontal Harmonized Standards regarding
the recyclability, recoverability and reusability
of some energy-related products (also known
as the 3 ‘R’s). This will constitute the next big
challenge for European standardization in the
field of eco-design and energy efficiency.

CEN and CENELEC will:
• continue developing European Standards to enable the ecodesign of
energy-related products including:
power transformers, storage cabinets
and blast cabinets, condensing units and
process chillers, electrical lamps, space
heaters and combination heaters, water heaters, hot water storage tanks and
related products (EC mandate M/495);

shower heads and taps.

The request from the Commission (EC mandate
M/495) is a horizontal mandate covering more
than 25 different types of products that use
energy or have an impact on the use of energy.
Types of products covered by this mandate
include: air conditioning and ventilation systems,
boilers, coffee machines, refrigeration units,
ovens, hobs and grills, lamps and luminaries,
tumble dryers, heating products, computers
and monitors, washing machines, dryers and
dishwashers, sound and imaging equipment,
water heaters, etc.

Within CEN and CENELEC, more than 40
Technical Committees are involved in developing European Standards that will support the
implementation of specific EU Regulations to
be issued in the framework of the Ecodesign
Directive. The overall coordination of this work
is the responsibility of the CEN-CENELEC
Ecodesign Coordination Group (Eco-CG).
