Följande information är hämtad från www.cen.eu/boss Documents developed by Technical and Project Committees In addition to European Standards (ENs), CEN Technical and Project Committees can also draft Technical Specifications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR). All these documents are voluntary in application. European Standards (EN) guarantee the commitment of National Standardization Bodies (NSBs) to adopt them as identical national standards and withdraw any conflicting national standards. The development of an EN includes a public commenting period (enquiry) followed by an approval by weighted vote by CEN members. There is an agreement between CEN National Members not to publish national standards on the same subject as a European standard. This comes into effect as soon as work on an EN is started at the European level. This agreement is known as ‘standstill’1. Technical Specifications (TS) can be produced when there is no immediate need or not enough consensus for ENs, or where technology is not mature enough and the subject matter is still under technical development. CEN National Members announce the existence of the TSs in the same way as for the ENs and shall make them available but they are not obliged to adopt them as national standards or to withdraw any conflicting national standards. Technical Reports (TR) are documents containing informative material such as data from a survey, description of the state of the art on a particular subject, information on work in other organisations, etc., which are not suitable to be published as an EN or TS. The following table lists the main characteristics and gives a comparison between the different documents that can be developed by Technical or Project Committees.
