CEN, the European Committee for Standardization

• CEN, the European Committee for Standardization,
  was founded in 1961 by the national standards
  bodies in the European Economic Community and
  EFTA countries.
• Now CEN is contributing to the objectives of the
  European Union and European Economic Area with
  voluntary technical standards which promote free
  trade, the safety of workers and consumers,
  interoperability of networks, environmental
  protection, exploitation of research and
  development programmes, and public procurement.
• CEN works closely with the European Committee for
  Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), the
  European Telecommunications Standards Institute
  (ETSI), and the International Organization for
  Standardization (ISO)

CWA

• In an era where the global standards market is
  gaining more and more international importance
  and recognition, CEN has introduced the CEN
  Workshop (WS) structure and process.
• This open process aims at bridging the gap
  between industrial consortia that produce de
  facto standards with the limited participation of
  interested parties, and the formal European
  standardization process which produces standards
  through consensus under the authority of CEN
  member bodies.

CWA

• CEN Workshop Agreements (CWAs) are
  consensus-based specifications, drawn up in an
  open Workshop environment
• CEN Workshop produced documents have the position
  of PreStandard
• Valid for 3 years
