CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2026
CEN and CENELEC Work Programme 2026 has been published. The Work Programme is one of the flagship publications of CEN and CENELEC; it outlines the key priorities and actions that will shape European standardization in the year ahead. 2026 will be a pivotal year for European standardization. Against a backdrop of rapid technological, industrial, and global change, CEN and CENELEC remain clear in our mission: to make Europe’s Single Market stronger, more digital, and more sustainable through standards.
CEN and CENELEC Strategy 2030
The Strategy 2030 is a strategic agenda for 2021-2030 firmly within the context of the twin digital and green transitions, to ensure that CEN CENELEC standardization systems and services serve as catalysts for the radically transformative growth trajectory which Europe has embarked upon. The aim of the Strategy 2030, therefore, is for CEN and CENELEC to rethink and optimize the way they create value for our customers and stakeholders in a rapidly changing world.
