THE TECHNICAL BOARD
General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
CEN BT is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "THE TECHNICAL BOARD". This committee has published 39243 standards.
CEN BT develops CEN standards. Currently, there are 39243 published standards from this technical committee.
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 Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods concerning, in particular, the construction, safety, fitness for purpose, and rational use of energy, as well as the classification and marking of gas-fired central heating boilers that are fitted with atmospheric burners, fan assisted atmospheric burners or fully premixed burners, and are hereafter referred to as “boilers”.
This European Standard applies to boilers of type B, as listed in 4.2:
¾ that use one or more combustible gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in Tables 16 and 17;
¾ that have a nominal heat input (on the basis of net calorific value) exceeding 300 kW, but not exceeding 1 000 kW, including modular boilers;
¾ where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid does not exceed 105 °C during normal operation;
¾ where the maximum operating pressure in the water circuit does not exceed 6 bar;
¾ that can give rise to condensation under certain circumstances;
¾ of the standard and low-temperature types.
This European Standard applies to boilers designed for sealed water systems or for open water systems.
This European Standard does not contain all the requirements necessary for boilers:
¾ intended to be installed in the open or in living rooms;
¾ permanently fitted with more than one flue outlet;
¾ where the combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the room where the boiler is installed;
¾ of the condensing type;
¾ intended to be connected to a common flue having mechanical extraction;
¾ fitted with a forced draught burner in accordance with EN 676 (see EN 303-7);
¾ producing hot water for domestic purposes.
This standard only covers type testing.
Matters related to quality assurance systems, tests during production, and certificates of conformity of auxiliary devices are not dealt with in this European Standard.

This document specifies the general requirements for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted shock vibrations. For the purposes of this document, hand-transmitted shock vibration is any impactive or impulsive vibration that the machine or tool produces as a sequence of single events (isolated shock vibrations) linked by periods of no, or lower vibration.
This document specifies parameters for the evaluation of machinery emissions of hand-transmitted shocks in the frequency range covered by ISO 5349-1 (nominally the frequency range covered by the octave bands from 8 Hz to 1 000 Hz).
NOTE It is recognised that shock vibration often includes substantial high-frequency vibration energy. Therefore, reporting of information on hand-transmitted shock at higher frequencies that those specified in this document can be valuable.

This document specifies the requirements and general principles governing the biological evaluation of medical devices within a risk management process according to ISO 14971.
This document applies to the biological evaluation of medical devices that have direct contact or indirect contact with either:
— a patient's body during intended use or reasonably foreseeable misuse; or
— the body of other users who are not patients, if the medical device is intended for personal protection (e.g. medical gloves, surgical masks).
Biological evaluation assesses the biological safety of the medical device by considering the biological risks associated with:
— constituents of a medical device; and
— tissue-device interactions (including physical effects).
The biological evaluation specified in this document can address the biological safety of the medical device, considering the life cycle from design and development through initial use of the finished medical device to final decommissioning or withdrawal from use. The biological evaluation considers both the biological safety of the finished device in first use, and the significance of any changes to the medical device which can occur throughout the life cycle. However, the evaluation of risks related to environmental impacts of decommissioning of medical devices are not within the scope of this document. This document does not mandate re-testing of medical devices that are already on the market and have established and acceptable safety profiles (see 6.6.2).
This document can be useful to support clinical or usability evaluations of medical devices. For example, a biological evaluation is a pre-requisite for conducting a clinical trial. This means that principles outlined in this document can be applied to the evaluation of prototype or development stage devices, as well as to finished medical devices.
Other parts of the ISO 10993 series cover specific aspects of biological evaluation, such as chemical characterization, biological testing, sample preparation, animal welfare and toxicological risk assessment.
For some types of medical devices, specific requirements from other standards (outside the ISO 10993 series) can be considered with a justification for the approach taken if there are differences between the requirements of the ISO 10993 series and those provided in other standards. For example, the ISO 18562 series provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of breathing gas pathway medical devices and ISO 7405 provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of dental devices.
The evaluation of risks related to infectious agents [e.g. bacteria, moulds, yeasts, viruses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents] is not within the scope of this document.
NOTE 1 The evaluation of bacterial endotoxins is addressed by ISO 11737-3.
NOTE 2 The evaluation of risks related to viruses, TSE agents and other pathogens originating from materials of animal origin is addressed by the ISO 22442 series.

This document specifies the identification of radionuclides and the measurement of their activity in soil using in situ gamma spectrometry with portable systems equipped with germanium or scintillation detectors.
This document is suitable to rapidly assess the activity of artificial and natural radionuclides deposited on or present in soil layers of large areas of a site under investigation.
This document can be used in connection with radionuclide measurements of soil samples in the laboratory (see ISO 18589-3) in the following cases:
— routine surveillance of the impact of radioactivity released from nuclear installations or of the evolution of radioactivity in the region;
— investigations of accident and incident situations;
— planning and surveillance of remedial action;
— decommissioning of installations or the clearance of materials.
It can also be used for the identification of airborne artificial radionuclides, when assessing the exposure levels inside buildings or during waste disposal operations.
Following a nuclear accident, in situ gamma spectrometry is a powerful method for rapid evaluation of the gamma activity deposited onto the soil surface as well as the surficial contamination of flat objects.
NOTE The method described in this document is not suitable when the spatial distribution of the radionuclides in the environment is not precisely known (influence quantities, unknown distribution in soil) or in situations with very high photon flux. However, the use of small volume detectors with suitable electronics allows measurements to be performed under high photon flux.

The scope of the present document is to provide the elements needed for elaborating the programme execution logic and drafting the execution plan for the realization of a product.
NOTE 1 In this document, the term “logic” alone is sometimes used for “execution logic”.
NOTE 2 In this document, the term “product” is used to designate the object of the program concerned, and the term “system” is used to designate the product for anything related to system engineering.
NOTE 3 The product is also considered a “system-of-interest” and its enabling systems are also taken into account.
The execution logic and plan enable customers/suppliers to reach an agreement on how their respective processes and activities can be organized.
The aim is to enable each actor in the programme to manage their activities with sufficient visibility of the sequencing of the other stakeholdersʼ activities.
This document belongs to the documents supporting EN 9200 relating to the programme management specification.
The present document describes the principles of programme execution logic and defines the corresponding management requirements. This description is supplemented:
— on the one hand, in terms of execution logic principles, by:
— the challenges of a basic logic common to all actors (synchronization);
— the applicable criteria to set up this basic logic;
— the translation of this logic into the programme processes;
— on the other hand, in terms of implementing the execution logic, by:
— the procedures for practical implementation of the management requirements defined in EN 9200;
— adaptations of the logic according to the various constraints and specificities of the programme, and justification of these adaptations;
— the consistency between the basic logic at system level and the logics at subsystem and constituent levels.
The breakdown of clauses as used in this document gives a gradual understanding of the approach to be adopted to construct an execution logic. For instance:
— Clause 5 presents the end-purpose of a programme execution logic as well as the associated basic concepts and the constituents of this logic;
— Clause 6 describes and characterizes the process for building the logic;
— Clause 7 concerns change control to the execution logic;
— Clause 8 concentrates on the importance of capitalization and lessons learned.
This document applies to aeronautical, space and defence programmes. The principles can be extended to other areas of activity.
It applies to realization of a single product, of several samples or of a series. It applies to any customer/supplier level, while ensuring consistency between successive levels.
The principles described concern all programme actors, from initial expression of need through to closure of the programme.

This document specifies a test method for determining the intrinsic characteristics of sound diffraction of added devices installed on the top of road traffic noise reducing devices. The test method prescribes measurements of the sound pressure level at several reference points near the top edge of a road traffic noise reducing device with and without the added device installed on its top. The effectiveness of the added device is calculated as the difference between the measured values with and without the added devices, correcting for any change in height (the method specified gives the acoustic benefit over a simple barrier of the same height; however, in practice the added device can raise the height and this could provide additional screening depending on the source and receiver positions).
This document is applicable to:
— the preliminary qualification, outdoors or indoors, of added devices to be installed on road traffic noise reducing devices;
— the determination of sound diffraction index difference of added devices in actual use;
— the comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
— the verification of the long-term performance of added devices (with a repeated application of the method);
— the interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals.
The test method can be applied both in situ and on samples purposely built to be tested using the method described here.
Results are expressed as a function of frequency, in one-third octave bands between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurements results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results are given in the restricted frequency range and the reasons of the restriction(s) are clearly reported. A single-number rating is calculated from frequency data.

The ISO 11929 series specifies a procedure, in the field of ionizing radiation metrology, for the calculation of the “decision threshold”, the “detection limit” and the “limits of the coverage interval” for a non-negative ionizing radiation measurand when counting measurements with preselection of time or counts are carried out. The measurand results from a gross count rate and a background count rate as well as from further quantities on the basis of a model of the evaluation. In particular, the measurand can be the net count rate as the difference of the gross count rate and the background count rate, or the net activity of a sample. It can also be influenced by calibration of the measuring system, by sample treatment and by other factors.
ISO 11929 has been divided into four parts covering elementary applications in ISO 11929-1, advanced applications on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008/Suppl 1:2008 in ISO 11929-2, applications to unfolding methods in this document, and guidance to the application in ISO 11929-4.
ISO 11929-1 covers basic applications of counting measurements frequently used in the field of ionizing radiation metrology. It is restricted to applications for which the uncertainties can be evaluated on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (JCGM 2008). In ISO 11929-1:2025, Annex A, the special case of repeated counting measurements with random influences is covered, while measurements with linear analogous ratemeters, are covered in ISO 11929-1:2025, Annex B.
This document deals with the evaluation of measurements using unfolding methods and counting spectrometric multi-channel measurements if evaluated by unfolding methods, in particular, for alpha- and gamma‑spectrometric measurements. Further, it provides some advice on how to deal with correlations and covariances.
ISO 11929-4 gives guidance to the application of the ISO 11929 series, summarizes shortly the general procedure and then presents a wide range of numerical examples.
ISO 11929 Standard also applies analogously to other measurements of any kind especially if a similar model of the evaluation is involved. Further practical examples can be found, for example, in ISO 18589[7], ISO 9696[2], ISO 9697[3], ISO 9698[4], ISO 10703[5], ISO 7503[1], ISO 28218[8], and ISO 11665[6].

This document specifies a method for the determination of nitrate as NO3-N in water of various origin such as natural water (including groundwater, surface water and bathing water), drinking water and wastewater, in a measuring range of concentration between 0,20 mg/l and 30 mg/l of NO3-N using the small-scale sealed tube method. Different measuring ranges of small-scale sealed tube methods can be required.
The measuring ranges can vary depending on the type of the small-scale sealed tube method of different manufacturers.
It is up to the user to choose the small-scale sealed tube test with the appropriate application range or to adapt samples with concentrations exceeding the measuring range of a test by preliminary dilution.
NOTE 1 The results of a small-scale sealed tube test are most precise in the middle of the application range of the test.
Manufacturers' small-scale sealed tube methods are based on chromotropic colour reaction, depending on the typical operating procedure of the small-scale sealed tube used, see Clause 9.
NOTE 2 Laws, regulations or standards can require that the data is expressed as NO3 after conversion with the stoichiometric conversion factor 4,426 81 in Clause 11.
NOTE 3 In the habitual language, use of sewage treatment and on the displays of automated sealed-tube test devices, NO3 without indication of the negative charge has become the common notation for the parameter nitrate and especially for the parameter nitrate-N. This notation is adopted in this document even though not being quite correct chemical nomenclature.

This document specifies a method for the determination of total bound nitrogen (ST-TNb) in water of various origins: groundwater, surface water, and wastewater, in a measuring range of concentration generally between 0,5 mg/l and 220 mg/l of ST-TNb using the small-scale sealed tube method. Different measuring ranges of small-scale sealed tube methods can be required.
The measuring ranges can vary depending on the type of small-scale sealed tube method of different manufacturers. It is up to the user to choose the small-scale sealed tube with the appropriate application range or to adapt samples with concentrations exceeding the measuring range of a test by preliminary dilution.
NOTE The results of a small-scale sealed tube are most precise in the middle of the application range of the test.
All small-scale sealed tube methods are based on a heated alkaline potassium persulfate oxidation in a heating block. Different digestion temperatures, 100 °C or 120 °C or 170 °C, and different digestion times are applicable. Dimethylphenol colour reactions are applied, depending on the typical operating procedure of the small-scale sealed tube used, see Clause 9.

This document specifies the technical delivery requirements for seamless and welded butt welding fittings (elbows, concentric and eccentric reducers, equal and reducing tees, caps) made of carbon and alloy steel in two test categories which are intended for pressure purposes at room temperature, at low temperature or at elevated temperatures, and for the transmission and distribution of fluids and gases.
It specifies:
a) type of fittings;
type A: Butt-welding fittings with reduced pressure factor;
type B: Butt-welding fittings for use at full service pressure;
b) steel grades and their chemical compositions;
c) mechanical properties;
d) dimensions and tolerances;
e) requirements for inspection and testing;
f) inspection documents;
g) marking;
h) protection and packaging.
NOTE The selection of the appropriate fitting (material, thickness) is the ultimate responsibility of the manufacturer of the pressure equipment (see European Legislation for Pressure Equipment). In the case of a harmonized supporting standard for materials, presumption of conformity to the ESRs is limited to technical data of materials in the standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment. Consequently, it is essential that the technical data stated in the material standard be assessed against the design requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of the PED are satisfied.

The European Commission will in its project "VAT in the digital age" (ViDA) mandate that VAT reporting on intra-EU transactions is performed in near real-time and based on EN 16931-1. This Technical Report defines the impact of this legislation on the various deliverables of CEN/TC 434, with a focus on the subset to be sent to tax authorities and how EN 16931-1 needs to be changed. The ViDA package applies to all EU member states and specific territories where the VAT legislation applies (e.g. Northern Ireland in respect to goods).
This document does not define the content of the common electronic message based on the electronic invoice to be sent to the authorities. The definition of that common electronic message (DRR message) is a task of the European Commission, possibly with help of CEN. As the DRR message is not an invoice, but a VAT report, it is not to be regarded as a Core Invoice Usage Specification (CIUS). The DRR message therefore needs not to obey the rules for developing a CIUS. For example, not all mandatory elements in the invoice need to be part of the DRR message.
