Frequently Asked Questions

CEN/TC 248/WG 5 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Touch and close fasteners" and is responsible for: To develop standards on touch and close fasteners. This committee has published 11 standards.

CEN/TC 248/WG 5 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: To develop standards on touch and close fasteners. Currently, there are 11 published standards from this working group.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
