What is a CEN Workshop?

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) administers a process allowing a given sector to collectively develop standards through consensus process.

The drafting, contents and the final consensus for the standard are in the hands of participants who have opportunities to contribute at numerous points, both in person and through electronic submission. The Workshop process results in a standard called a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) which is recognized internationally and included in the databases of the national standards bodies and distribution networks worldwide.(source: www.cen.eu)
