The development of CEN standards involves multiple stages and the participation of various stakeholders, including industry experts, researchers, and policymakers. The process typically includes:
- Proposal: The need for a new standard is identified, and a proposal is submitted. - Drafting: A technical committee drafts the standard, incorporating feedback from all stakeholders. - Public Consultation: The draft standard is released for public consultation, allowing for broader input. - Approval: The final draft is reviewed and approved by CEN members. - Publication: Once approved, the standard is published and made available to the public.
