LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

As President of CENELEC, I have the honour and privilege of introducing the CENELEC Annual Report, which together with the joint CEN-CENELEC Annual Report provides you with an overview of CENELEC’s activities in 2015. I would like to start by thanking my predecessor, Tore Trondvold, for his excellent leadership of our organization during the last three years. Having served as CENELEC President since 2013, he deserves a lot of the credit for many of the achievements mentioned in this report.

One of the significant achievements we can point to in 2015 is the fact that the CENELEC General Assembly decided to renew our Articles of Association, notably in order to update Article 3, which describes the Purpose of CENELEC. Our members took this opportunity to confirm the fact that CENELEC is an independent, market driven association, and that we respect and support the principles that have been agreed in the framework of the WTO for the development of international standards (including: transparency, openness, impartiality and consensus, relevance and effectiveness, and coherence).

This exercise has also confirmed that in CENELEC we "prioritize and promote the development of standards within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the implementation of IEC standards". I am conscious of the fact that the members and stakeholders of CENELEC attach great importance to our close collaboration with IEC. This collaboration is especially valuable for business and industry, who benefit from having access to state-of-the-art standards that are accepted throughout Europe and recognized around the world.

In 2016, we celebrate 25 years of technical cooperation between CENELEC and IEC, first in the framework of the Lugano Agreement (1991) and then in the framework of the Dresden Agreement (1996). This cooperation, which includes common planning of new work and parallel adoption of standards at European and international levels, has proved to be extremely fruitful. Indeed, we should be very proud that 71% of all the standards in the CENELEC catalogue are identical to international standards adopted in the framework of IEC, and a further 6% are based on IEC standards!

Alongside IEC, we also continue to cooperate with our fellow European Standardization Organizations CEN and ETSI to share knowledge and expertise, to coordinate our respective standardization activities, and even to develop joint standards in areas of common interest. We cooperate with CEN in the areas of ecodesign, energy management, e-mobility, healthcare, lighting, machinery, nuclear energy, personal protective equipment (PPE), rail transport and adaptation to climate change.

In addition, CENELEC cooperates with both CEN and ETSI in a number of areas where digital technologies are playing an increasingly important role, such as cybersecurity, defence, smart energy grids and smart metering, energy efficiency of communication networks and data centres, as well as smart and sustainable cities and communities.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

The European Standardization Organizations are also working closely together in the field of international cooperation. CENELEC and CEN are especially active in promoting the take-up of international standards through our relations with numerous national and regional standardization organizations around the world. For example, CENELEC is cooperating closely with AFSEC, the African Electrotechnical Standardization Commission, to share knowledge and expertise, notably in the field of Smart Grids, and thereby support the modernization of Africa’s electricity infrastructure.

We continue to develop our collaboration with the European Union institutions and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), in the framework of EU Regulation 1025/2012. Almost one quarter (24.4%) of all the standards in the CENELEC catalogue are so-called 'harmonized standards' that support the implementation of European legislation – including for example EU Directives in relation to Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage Equipment and Radio Equipment.

In 2015, CENELEC’s Technical Board accepted 10 standardization requests from the European Commission. In the framework of these requests, CENELEC will develop new and revised standards for laser products and radio equipment, and requirements for ecodesign and energy labelling of vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, we are cooperating with CEN on various standardization activities, including the development of standards relating to material efficiency aspects of energy-related products, to support the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC).

Of course, whether we are talking about European or international standardization activities, we can only develop state-of-the-art standards by bringing together knowledge and expertise from a wide range of stakeholders – including representatives of business and industry, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and societal stakeholders. In this regard, I am very pleased to see that the CENELEC community continues to enlarge, as the number of Partner and Liaison organizations at European level has grown from 30 at the end of 2014 to 34 at the end of 2015.

Further increasing stakeholder involvement is a key priority for CENELEC in 2016, and we also want to develop our activities in relation to digital technologies and the digitalization of industry. By including a wider range of stakeholders in our system we can benefit from their knowledge and expertise, and also ensure that our Work Programme is aligned with their needs and expectations.

As CENELEC President, I am very aware of the fact that none of our activities can succeed without the active involvement of our national members and the whole of the CENELEC community. So on behalf of the CENELEC Administrative Board, I would like to thank all of our Members and Affiliates, our Partner and Liaison organizations, and all of the individual experts who participate in the work of our Technical Committees and Working Groups. We are very grateful for all your contributions, and I hope we can continue to count on your commitment!

TECHNICAL BODY AWARDSStandardization depends on the commitment and hard work of many thousands of experts who participate in technical bodies and contribute to the drafting of standards on a voluntary basis. Perhaps the greatest contribution to the CEN and CENELEC system is made by those who accept the responsibility of chairing Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs).

Every two years, CEN and CENELEC present awards to some of their most dedicated, hard-working and longest-serving TC Chairs. The recipients of the CENELEC Technical Body Awards are chosen in accordance with a selection procedure that has been endorsed by the CEN-CENELEC Presidential Committee.

At a joint CEN-CENELEC Awards Ceremony in Brussels on 1 December 2015, golden pins were presented to three CENELEC TC Chairs: Daniele Bozzolo (Chair of CLC/TC 9X 'Electrical and electronic applications for railways' from 2009 to 2015), Joachim Von der Ohe (Chair of CLC/TC 40XB on 'Resistors' since 2003) and Etienne Tison (Chair of CLC/TC 64 'Electrical installations and protection against electric shock' since 2008).

Please note that information about the outcomes of CENELEC’s standardization activities in 2015 can be found in the joint CEN-CENELEC Annual Report 2015.

CENELEC TECHNICAL BOARDThe CENELEC Technical Board (BT) is responsible for managing the work programme of European standardization in the electrotechnical domain and coordinating the allocation of work items among the responsible Technical Bodies within CENELEC.

CENELEC BT accepted 10 standardization requests from the European Commission and EFTA in 2015, including requests to develop standards for laser products and radio equipment, as well as ecodesign and energy labelling of vacuum cleaners. Together with CEN, CENELEC accepted requests to develop standards in relation to alternative fuels infrastructure, measuring instruments, recreational craft and personal watercraft, privacy and personal data protection management; ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for water heaters, hot water storage tanks, space heaters and combination heaters, as well as ecodesign requirements relating to material efficiency aspects of energy-related products.

CENELEC BT continued to monitor and follow-up the implementation of its Action Plan and agreed to streamline the process for reviewing so-called 'homegrown' European Standards, in order to ensure that they are kept up-to-date and reflect the latest state of the art. In addition, CENELEC BT approved a new guide, intended for new members of CENELEC BT (Permanent Delegates), which has been published as CENELEC Guide 33.

In a continuous effort to support the electrotechnical sector as being one, worldwide and at European level, CENELEC and IEC engaged in exchanges on the accuracy and correct interpretation of the data reporting on the results of the Dresden Agreement. Further effort was put in optimizing operational exchanges, facilitating the involvement of IEC during the development of standardization requests from the European Commission, and raising awareness at international level of the specificities and uniqueness of the European Standardization System and its benefits for the international scene. A proposal for a light revision of the Dresden Agreement was developed by the CENELEC Technical Board, in order to reflect the current environment and practice more closely. Once agreed with IEC, it will eventually result into a new edition of CENELEC Guide 13 (IEC - CENELEC Agreement on Common planning of new work and parallel voting).

In addition to international cooperation activities carried out jointly with CEN (and sometimes also with ETSI), CENELEC also develops its own international cooperation activities. These include cooperating with national and regional standardization organizations around the world with which CENELEC has agreements in place. The goal of these agreements is to contribute to the removal of technical barriers to trade (TBT), thereby facilitating access to new markets for European businesses. In this framework, CENELEC gives priority to promoting the acceptance of international standards and working within the IEC framework whenever relevant.

COOPERATION WITH IECEnsuring close collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) remains a strategic priority for CENELEC. Thanks to the strong partnership between CENELEC and the IEC, and their ongoing technical cooperation in the framework of the Dresden Agreement, 71% of the CENELEC portfolio of standards are identical to international standards published by the IEC (and a further 6% are based on IEC publications). Many of these standards are adopted using parallel procedures, which helps to prevent unnecessary delays in publication. In 2015, 73% of the standards issued by CENELEC were either identical to (68%) or based on (5%) IEC documents.

All of CENELEC’s members (33 National Committees) are also members of IEC, and they actively contribute to the work of IEC Technical Committees. More than half (56%) of participating (P) and observer (O) members in IEC Technical Committees are representatives of National Committees that are also CENELEC members. This high level of involvement shows that the CENELEC community is strongly committed to supporting the development and adoption of international standards.

At the 79th IEC General Meeting, which was held in Minsk from 12 to 16 October 2015, CENELEC and CEN were represented by a delegation that included Tore Trondvold (CENELEC President), Bernhard Thies (CENELEC President Elect), Wim De Kesel (CENELEC Vice-President Policy), Bogdan Topi (CENELEC Vice-President Finance), Elena Santiago Cid (Director General of CEN and CENELEC) and Sarah Penny (Director External Relations, CEN and CENELEC). This was an opportunity to meet with representatives of several national and regional standardization bodies, including the delegations from Africa (AFSEC), the Commonwealth of Independent States (EASC), the Gulf Cooperation Council (GSO), Japan (JISC), Kazakhstan (KAZMEMST), South Korea (KATS) and the USA (USNC).

ABOUT CENELEC The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) is one of three officially recognized organizations responsible for developing and defining standards at European level (alongside CEN and ETSI). CENELEC provides a platform for the development, adoption and revision of European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies.

CENELEC brings together the National Electrotechnical Committees of 33 European countries. These include all 28 Member States of the European Union and three Member States of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) plus two EU candidate countries (Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).

The members of CENELEC work together with various stakeholders - including industry, SMEs, societal stakeholders, public sector bodies, academics and researchers - to develop voluntary European Standards (ENs) and other deliverables.

CENELEC contributes to meeting the needs of industry and other stakeholders, completing the European Single Market and strengthening Europe’s position in the global economy.

CENELEC works in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to coordinate their respective activities and enable the alignment of European and international standards. More than two-thirds of all CENELEC standards are identical to IEC standards.

CENELEC cooperates with the European Commission to develop and adopt harmonized standards and other deliverables that support the implementation of EU policies and legislation.

CENELEC collaborates with the other European Standardization Organizations (CEN and ETSI) to develop joint activities in areas of common interest, and to promote and strengthen the European Standardization System for the benefit of businesses, consumers and society as a whole.
