CEN is a 'horizontal' organization and covers most areas of economic activity.
Click on 'List of sectors' on the left and you will see the major sectors we are active in. If your domain of interest is not included and you would like to start standardization activities in your field, please contact the Innovation Department.
Standardization is not only a key driver of open markets, free trade and interoperability on a global level, but also a key contributor to the EU 2020 Strategy. For companies and researchers, standards can bring considerable economic assets. Discover how standards can support R&D and Innovation and
why you should integrate standardization in your research and innovation project while visiting the Innovation and Research pages.
