European organizations: CENELCOM and CENEL. Nowadays,
CENELEC is a non-profit technical organization set up
under Belgian law and composed of the National Electrotechnical
Committees of 30 European countries. In addition, 8 National
Committees from neighboring countries are participating
in CENELEC work with an Affiliate status. CENELEC members
have been working together in the interests of European
harmonization since the 1950s, creating both standards
requested by the market and harmonized standards in support
of European legislation and which have helped to shape
the European Internal Market. CENELEC works with 15,000
