CEN is a Belgium-based non-profit organization that serves as the European Committee for Standardization. It works to remove trade barriers for European stakeholders—industry, public administration, service providers, consumers and others—by developing voluntary European Standards and other specifications. The organization coordinates 31 national standards bodies and mobilizes a broad community of technical experts, business federations, consumer and societal organizations to develop ENs that support the European internal market. By promoting research and disseminating innovation, its standards contribute to economic growth while addressing environmental and societal objectives. Together, the CEN network reaches more than 480 million people.

Its role places it at the center of the European standardization landscape, aligning national efforts into coherent frameworks for goods and services. Its customers span industry players, public institutions, service providers, and consumer groups who rely on common specifications to ease cross-border trade and market access. Based in Belgium, CEN maintains a large, collaborative ecosystem that develops and promotes European Standards and other specifications through its national member network.
