Integration of regional and global standardization Vienna Agreement signed between ISO and CEN in 1991 (Dresden Agreement between CENELEC and IEC): To adopt International Standards in Europe whenever possible No duplication of work Types of cooperation between ISO and CEN: Correspondence Mutual representation at meetings Adoption of same text as ISO and European standard: Adoption by CEN of an available ISO Standard and vice versa Elaboration of a standard in one organization, parallel ISO/CEN approval procedure
A Model With An International Approach Vienna Agreement ~ 30 % of CEN standards are developed under the Vienna Agreement (depending on sectors) Dresden Agreement ~ 75 % of CENELEC standards are identical to or based on IEC standards MoU for telecommunications sector (ITU-T) Agreement on radio-communication sector (ITU-R)

International Cooperation in CEN- CENELEC Management Centre Promotion of the use of International Standards and cooperation with ISO and IEC Develop standardization cooperation (technical and strategic level) Foster adoption of common standards for full market harmonisation Support regulatory initiatives (FTAs, etc) Promote the uniqueness of the European Standardization Model to external stakeholders Gather market intelligence CEN-CENELEC 2010 14
External Relations Activities Promotion of the use of International Standards HOW? Agreements (Affiliates, MoUs,...) Projects (Visibility and Technical Assistance) LINKED CEN-CENELEC 2010 15
Agreements CEN and CENELEC have harmonized their formal relations with third countries Affiliate status for the Standardization Organizations of countries listed in the European Neighbourhood Policy Partner Standardization Bodies for all other Standardization Organizations. Memoranda of Understanding for regional level Other Agreements with third countries Moreover, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI are increasingly joining forces for international visibility actions CEN-CENELEC 2010 16
Affiliation with CEN and CENELEC CEN-CENELEC Guide 12 ENP countries, one NSB / country Access to catalogue of standards + sales Observership to TCs (automatic) + obligation to implement the standards from TC in which it participates and to withdraw national conflicting standards Participation in AG (no voting right) Currently 12 Affiliates in CENELEC / 17 in CEN
Benefits of Affiliation Access to ENs + sales of ENs Access to TC as observer (automatic) Other types of cooperation (TAIEX, other events for Affiliates, surveys,...) Access to European Market Easy access to Global Market!
