The concept of Cooperation with European Organizations and other stakeholders

The status of Partner Organization is addressed to those organizations having an interest in cooperation at overall corporate and technical level with CEN and/or CENELEC. This concept is likely to be of most interest to the organizations covered by Annex III of Regulation EC 1025/2012 on European standardization, as they have an overall - or very broad - interest in CEN and CENELEC work. In addition, business-related organizations with major standardization interests in multiple sectors may also find this level of partnership valuable. The Partner Organization is expected to: a) have an interest in both 1) European standardization matters having policy impact and 2) the CEN and/or CENELEC technical activities; and b) be willing to actively contribute to the achievement of the CEN and/or CENELEC strategies, as well as to the technical work related to the development of European standards and other technical deliverables
