What is CEN ?

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) plays a vital role in harmonizing standards across Europe to promote trade and remove technical barriers. Established under Directive 98/34/EC, CEN publishes over 1,100 standards annually. It includes committees like CEN/TC 335 for solid biofuels and CEN/TC 343 for solid recovered fuels, both aimed at enhancing market dynamics and ensuring safe energy recovery from biomass and non-hazardous wastes. This process involves collaborative drafting and rigorous voting to maintain high standards.
