EN Standards
EN Standards are European Norms developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to ensure safety, quality, and interoperability of products, services, and systems across Europe. They cover a wide range of industries, including construction, engineering, manufacturing, and technology, providing technical specifications and guidelines for compliance with EU regulations. These standards are harmonized to facilitate trade and regulatory alignment within the European Single Market.
Developers should learn about EN Standards when working on projects that require compliance with European regulations, such as those involving medical devices, machinery, construction materials, or consumer products sold in the EU. Understanding these standards is crucial for ensuring product safety, meeting legal requirements, and avoiding market access barriers, particularly in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics where standardization is key to interoperability and quality assurance.
