CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) are proud to announce a new partnership agreement with DIGITALEUROPE — a leading trade association that represents digitally transforming industries across Europe. This collaboration heralds a significant alignment between the digital industry and the European standardization ecosystem, strengthening efforts to address critical challenges and seize opportunities in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The objective of the standardisation project is to establish European standards for customer data access and portability in the insurance sector to support the implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 20 and of the proposed EU Regulation on a Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA) Articles 2(1), 4 and 5.
On 28 June 2023, the EU Commission announced a proposal for a EU Regulation on a Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA).
On Friday 9 February 2024, a group of 12 CEN and CENELEC Members launched a Shared Digital Infrastructure (SDI). At the heart of the SDI is an online Marketing Portal where CEN and CENELEC Members can advertise, request, or simply browse digital services developed by their peers.
In a world rapidly transitioning towards a greener and more digital society, the development of digital technologies and related policies has taken centre stage. Acknowledging the pivotal role of standardization in realizing its objectives, the European Union is committed to boosting the development and adoption of global digital standards for increased competitiveness.
CEN and CENELEC, together with IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) just published a new Workshop Agreement, CWA 18016 ‘Age appropriate digital services framework’. This document describes a set of processes to help design and develop online products and services with the rights and well-being of children in mind.
CEN/TC 428 "ICT Professionalism and Digital Competences" has released a White Paper on how standards on ICT professionalism can support European AI policies to embed ICT professional competence within the development of AI systems.
The CEN workshop ' Digital health innovations – Good practice guide for obtaining user consent for personal health information' was kicked off on 22 July 2022. The Workshop registered participants have agreed on the final draft of the CWA.
The CEN-CENELC Workshop Agreement (CWA) provides a set of processes for digital services when end users are children, and, by doing so, aids in the tailoring of the services that are provided so that they are age appropriate.
The Workshop Agreement is the result of the initiative of AFNOR, IEEE and VDE to identify the needs for standardization about the concept of Digital Sovereignty in the European context.
