CEN/TC 459/SC 2/WG 2 - Routine methods for the analysis of steel by spark OES

CEN/TC 459/SC 2/WG 2 is a Subcommittee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Routine methods for the analysis of steel by spark OES" and is responsible for: To propose and validate routine methods for the analysis of steels and ferrous materials by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and different optical emission spectrometry techniques (OES). The selection of the topics to be handled is based either on the result of enquiries launched by CEN/TC 459/SC 2 or on proposals made within this WG. This WG aims to prepare guidelines related with the XRF and OES techniques, too. This committee has published 3 standards.

CEN/TC 459/SC 2/WG 2 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology.

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 Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
