The CEN Technical Board (BT) has agreed to delegate three types of decisions to CEN/TCs and CEN-CLC/JTCs with CEN lead – namely the withdrawal of ENs, TSs, TRs, the removal of links to legislation, and the request for a second Formal Vote (FV) on harmonized European Standards (hENs). In addition, BT has approved changes to the approval criteria for certain decision types.
Ahead of their implementation on 4 February 2026, this webinar will guide participants through these changes, explain their practical implications, and provide an opportunity for questions.
Target audience: Officers from CEN/TCs and CEN-CLC/JTCs with CEN lead.
