LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

This is a very exciting time to be involved in European standardization. For CENELEC, 2016 was a year of evolution, as we had to face and embrace new challenges.

When asked at the beginning of my mandate early last year what I wanted to achieve during my time as CENELEC President, I proposed a two-fold focus. First, to make our standardization system fit to support the growth of the digital economy. Second, to strengthen our cooperation with the European institutions, to fully exploit the potential of European standards in supporting regulatory and policy needs. It is gratifying to be able to tell you that we made substantial progress towards these two objectives.

On the one hand, digital transformation requires standardization and that all stakeholders are connected and committed to embrace the diverse and growing spectrum of technologies and applications. It is imperative to attract experts in new and existing digital technologies to work alongside those from the more traditional sectors, including transport and energy and cross-cutting fields such as smart clusters (cities, grids) and lifestyle (home automation, security).

With this in mind, we focused on reinforcing our engagement with European industry and to establish strategic alliances and partnerships, ensuring that we maintain European leadership in standardization activities that support the digitization of industry – notably regarding connectivity, interoperability and modularity.

Milestones were achieved in this respect last year, with CEN and CENELEC joining oneM2M, the global standards initiative for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, we can now ensure mutual benefits and cooperation between industrial users of IoT.

The involvement of this highly diverse expert base will ensure that we provide adequate market relevant standardization solutions that support the delivery of the EU Digital Single Market’s objectives and beyond.

On the other hand, CENELEC has been working with CEN to define a strategy that will be delivered mid-2017, to ensure that our organizations can meet the needs of industry sectors to transform digitally. This will require our system to become more agile and adaptable to market and technology innovations through digital transformation (online standardization, etc.).

The success of the European Standardization Model relies on a long-standing public-private partnership that continues to strengthen and expand the European Single Market. We need to ensure that this partnership also boosts the growth of the European digital economy.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Our partnership with the European institutions was the focus of many activities during 2016. CENELEC, together with CEN, actively supported the definition and implementation of the European Commission’s (EC) ‘Joint Initiative on Standardisation’ (JIS), which aims to re-invigorate the public-private partnership. We will continue to actively lead five of the strategic actions of the JIS and contribute to the others. We feel that the potential of standards in supporting the implementation of regulatory and policy objectives can be exploited much more and improved to benefit the European market and society at large. Through our public-private partnership framed by EU Regulation 1025/2012, CENELEC accepted five Standardization Requests last year.

CENELEC has also strengthened its collaboration with the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC) by signing a new agreement linking pre-normative research to standardization. For example, by feeding pre-normative research results into standardization, and vice-versa, by feeding needs for pre- normative research from standardization activities into research activities. This enhances our continued efforts to encourage cooperation between researchers, innovators and standardizers.

Finally and very importantly, CENELEC celebrated 25 years of successful cooperation with IEC within the framework of the Lugano and Dresden Agreements, agreed in 1991 and 1996 respectively. This resulted in the signing of the Frankfurt Agreement during the IEC General Meeting. This cooperation is vital in supporting the competitiveness of our stakeholders that operate in a global market and its updated version increases the traceability of the international standards ratified in Europe and adopted by the CENELEC members.

In CENELEC, primacy is given to work at international level in IEC and to the adoption of international standards in Europe. As a result, 78 percent of CENELEC publications are identical to - or based on IEC standards.

As our network and community grow, we are confident that we will continue to make progress and evolve to remain a future-proof organization. In 2016, we approved the full membership of ISS, the National Standards Body of Serbia, who was an Affiliate of CENELEC until the end of 2016. We also welcomed six new Liaison Organizations to our network of European Partnerships.

We can be proud to be able to count on the involvement of so many experts committed to making European standardization a success. Therefore, on behalf of the CENELEC Administrative Board, I would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to our Members and Affiliates, our European partners and all the experts active in the technical work.

We look forward to continue our cooperation next year!

CENELEC CommunityCENELEC offers an inclusive platform that is accessible to all interested stakeholders: companies of all sizes - including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - consumer groups, societal and environmental interests, public sector organizations, academics and researchers.

The various stakeholders are represented in the decision-making structures of CENELEC through the 34 National Members, in accordance with the national delegation principle. CENELEC’s National Members include the Electrotechnical Committees of 28 European Union Member States and three Member States of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) plus three EU candidate countries (Turkey, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia).

CEN and CENELEC revised the concepts that frame their cooperation with National Standards Bodies (NSBs/NCs) outside the CEN and CENELEC membership, by proposing a new Affiliate and the Companion Standardization Body (CSB) statuses to NSBs and/or NCs interested in working closely with CEN and CENELEC.

The aim of this revision was to provide various levels of cooperation, tailored to the specific needs and objectives of the partners, in line with their respective strategy towards the EU. Following a transition period ending in July 2017, the former Affiliation and Partner Standardization Body statuses will be replaced by Affiliation and CSB concepts.

CENELEC Affil iates are National Standardization Bodies/National Committees (NSBs/NCs) in countries that are recognized as candidates or potential candidates for membership of the European Union. Affiliates may choose to participate in any CENELEC Technical Committee (TC) with observer status, on condition that they implement any European Standards (ENs) that are developed by the TC as national standards and withdraw any conflicting national standards.

CENELEC Companion Standardization Bodies are National Standardization Bodies/National Committees (NSBs/NCs) in countries that don’t qualify for affiliation. They may request to participate in any CENELEC Technical Committee (TC) with observer status and are encouraged to implement any European Standards (ENs) that are developed by the TC as national standards and withdraw any conflicting national standards.

Former Affiliates and PSBs have gradually modified their status, becoming new Affiliates or Companion Standardization Bodies of CENELEC. The list given in page 28 of this report reflects the Affiliates CENELEC had at the end of 2016.

CENELEC Partner Organizations are European umbrella organizations with an interest in contributing to electrotechnical standardization activities at European level. CENELEC currently has 13 Partner Organizations (as of 31 December 2016) including 3 among the European stakeholder organizations recognized in the framework of EU Regulation 1025/2012, ANEC, ECOS, and SBS and several pan-European industry organizations, as well as key European stakeholder organizations.

CENELEC Liaison Organizations are European organizations, including fora, consortia and EU Research Projects, with an interest in contributing to the work of one or more of CENELEC’s technical bodies at European level. CENELEC currently has 25 Liaison Organizations (as of 31 December 2016). CENELEC Community welcomed 6 new Liaison Organizations in 2016.

The rights and obligations relating to Partner and Liaison Organizations are set out in CEN-CENELEC Guide 25.

CENELEC GENERAL ASSEMBLYThe General Assembly (CENELEC/AG) is the supreme decision-making body of CENELEC, bringing together representatives of all 34 National Members.

The 56th CENELEC General Assembly (AG) was held in Skopje on 8 June, hosted by the Standardization Institute of the Republic of Macedonia (ISRM). It confirmed the composition of the CENELLEC Administrative Board for the period from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2017, as shown on page 7. The AG also elected Mr Kimmo Saarinen as Vice-President Finance and re-elected Mr Wim De Kesel as Vice-President Policy, both with a term of office starting 1 January 2017 until the end of 2018.

In addition, the CENELEC/AG welcomed the revised foreign partnership concepts (’Affiliation‘ and ’Companion Standardization Body’), which better support CENELEC’s global outreach strategy and cooperation with Europe’s neighbouring countries, encouraging the full deployment of those concepts by January 2017.

The CENELEC/AG, together with the CEN/AG, welcomed the addresses of Ms Maive Rute and Mr Jean-François Aguinaga on behalf of the European Commission, Ms Margrethe Asserson on behalf of EFTA, Mr Simon Hicks on behalf of ETSI, Mr Åke Danemar on behalf of the IEC and Mr Kevin McKinley on behalf of the ISO.

The Extraordinary CENELEC General Assembly was held in Brussels on 23 November 2016 during the 5th joint session with the 46th CEN General Assembly.

The CENELEC/AG agreed to grant the ‘Institute for Standardization of Serbia’ (ISS) full membership in CENELEC as of 1 January 2017. This took into account the outcome of the independent Assessors’ Report on the fulfilment of the criteria for membership by ISS. The CENELEC/AG also appointed Mr David Dossett as Chair of the CEN-CENELEC Membership Relations and Monitoring Committee (MRMC) for the term of office 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020, and elected Mr Jacques Levet as Board Member to replace Mr Thierry Lefebvre, with a first term of office from 1 January to 31 December 2017.

space heaters. The CENELEC/BT also accepted a final draft Standardization Request in the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) field relating to smart textiles. The final request for this was received from the European Commission in early 2017.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION WITH IECThe cooperation with the IEC in 2016 focused on three areas:

The Dresden Agreement was updated into the Frankfurt Agreement, further facilitating CENELEC’s commitment to working at international level and adopting international standards, thus ensuring even greater traceability of that alignment for the EN users. This led to the signing of the Frankfurt Agreement on 14 October 2016.

CENELEC and IEC further coordinated on the implementation of the Frankfurt Agreement, initiating work on guidance documents for the standardization community (day to day management, frequently asked questions) and securing a common interpretation of the implementation data on the Frankfurt Agreement.

For work on harmonized standards, the IEC is now systematically invited to participate in Standardization Request Ad Hoc Groups (SRAHG) as the first steps in the draft standardization requests emerge. Proper consideration of specific needs for harmonized standards is being facilitated by involvement of the CENELEC Technical bodies and the New Approach Consultants from the IEC Committee Draft stage.

Please note that information about the outcomes of CENELEC's standardization activities in 2016 can be found in the joint CEN-CENELEC Annual Report 2016.

CENELEC TECHNICAL BOARDThere were three meetings of the CENELEC Technical Board in 2016.Two of these included a joint session with the CEN Technical Board, with more than 20 common decisions taken. Amongst these, the CENELEC Technical Board (BT) decided to align the Enquiry Vote with CEN. This means that, if the Enquiry Vote is positive, the CENELEC Technical Committee can decide to omit the Formal Vote and proceed straight to publication of the standard.

CENELEC published a new edition of its Guide 8, 'The Vilamoura notification procedure for new national work and for the revision of national standards' (Frankfurt Agreement). In relation to the Frankfurt agreement, CENELEC/BT decided that an IEC standard adopted without common modifications would in future be referenced as 'EN IEC 6nnnnn' (applicable from 1 January 2018 without retrospective action).

In 2016, CENELEC/BT also decided to include the Preliminary Work Items (PWI) in the database, with a deadline for activating the PWI of three years (applicable from 1 April 2017).

During the course of the year, two CEN-CENELEC Joint Working Groups were created, for 'Energy measurement plan for organizations' (CEN-CLC/JWG 9) and 'Energy-related products - Material Efficiency Aspects for Ecodesign' (CEN-CLC/JWG 10).

Of the nine Standardization Requests received by CEN and CENELEC in 2016, the CENELEC/BT accepted five, as four were considered to be principally within the remit of CEN. The requests accepted are in the fields of Networked standby, Urban ITS, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Ecodesign of computers and computer servers as well as in the Ecodesign of local

STANDARDIZATION TO BOOST GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSIn addition to activities carried out jointly with CEN, as well as with ETSI, CENELEC also develops its own international cooperation activities. These include cooperating with national and regional standardization organizations with which CENELEC has agreements in place. The goal of these is to contribute to removing Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), thereby easing access to new markets for European businesses.

In this context, whenever possible CENELEC gives priority to promoting the acceptance of international standards and working within the IEC framework. By the end of 2016, more than 78 percent of the CENELEC publications were identical or based on the IEC publications. The strong commitment to, and involvement in, IEC can be seen in CENELEC members’ active participation in the IEC technical work. 31 of the CENELEC members participate in the IEC Technical Committees, with the CENELEC members covering more than half the total participation of IEC’s 79 members.

CENELEC, headed by its President, Dr Bernhard Thies, attended the 80th IEC General Meeting in Frankfurt (Germany) from 10 to 14 October 2016. Taking advantage of the presence of several national and regional standardization bodies, the CENELEC representatives held bilateral meetings with the National Committees of Canada (SCC), Korea (KATS), USA (USNC) as well as with regional Standardization Bodies, the African Electrotechnical Standardization Commission (AFSEC), the Gulf Standardizat ion Organization (GSO) and the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). It provided an excellent opportunity to promote the revision of the CEN and CENELEC foreign partnership concepts, to share information on various technical and strategic issues and to exchange views on the implementation of existing cooperation agreements.

In 2016, AFSEC began sending observers to the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Smart Energy Grids Coordination Group. Together with CENELEC, it is exploring the possibility of facilitating the adoption of European home-grown standards among its members. As a first step, AFSEC is reviewing the CLC/TR 50627:2015 Study Report on Electromagnetic Interference between Electrical Equipment/Systems in the Frequency Range Below 150 kHz in view of its adoption by its members.

In the context of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the European Standardization Organizations and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Standardization Organization (GSO), CENELEC organized a workshop in April 2016 on the Low-Voltage Directive (LVD) for its GSO partners. Following a series of presentations about the LVD in the Gulf area and in Europe, European stakeholders made suggestions for implementing the LVD Directive and advised on the European Standards to be adopted. The input from CENELEC stakeholders was welcomed by the GSO representatives, who showed interest in cooperating further in this area.

ABOUT CENELEC CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) is recognized by the EU and EFTA as the European Standardization Organization responsible for developing standards at European level. These standards set out specifications and procedures for a wide range of materials, processes, products and services.

The members of CENELEC are the National Electrotechnical Committees of 34* European countries. European Standards (ENs) and other standardization deliverables adopted by CENELEC are accepted and recognized in all of these countries.

European Standards contribute to enhancing safety, improving quality, facilitating cross-border trade and strengthening the European Single Market. They are developed through a process of collaboration between experts nominated by business and industry, research institutes, consumer and environmental organizations and other stakeholders. CENELEC works to promote the international alignment of standards in the framework of the technical cooperation agreement with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).
