The Meeting was also updated on the mechanism for non-CEN members to participate in the CEN Technical Committees as Partner Standardisation Bodies (PSB). As a PSB, national standards bodies will have to commit to implementing as national standards the European standards developed by CEN Technical Committee in which they participate.
