by Jaap Hogeling, Chair CEN TC 371 Program Committee on EPBD
The CEN (and ISO) EPB standards
The CEN Working Groups started July 2013 to work on this set of nearly 50 CEN-EPB standards. Most of the CEN-Working Group drafts have been completed by spring 2014 with the final target for delivery for enquiry to CEN Management Centre summer 2014. It is expected to start the enquiry stage of most or, if possible, all EPB-standards before the end of 2014.
The connected Technical Reports (TR):
All standards are companied by a TR, some standards may share one referenced TR. It is our intention to finish these TR’s after the enquiry of the standards, which allows us to include the results of the enquiry in these TR’s. To support the enquiry a draft version of these TR’s will be available as CEN-TC document. This to allow access during the enquiry because the TR’s include essential background information, justifications, explanations and showing worked out examples.
How can one access and deliver their comments to these draft standards?
The EPB standards will be published by the national standard bodies (NSB’s) as prENxxxxx. It is the NSB’s task to ask for comments and formally react on these draft-standards based on a national consensus opinion.
As all revised EPB standards are now formulated in a more normative format, most of the background information and explanations is not any more included in these standards. The standard refers to the connected TR which should be considered before commenting the standard.
These draft TR’s are only available as “CEN Committee Drafts” the so called N-numbered documents at the CEN/TC -livelink. The NSB’s have access to this and they should provide these documents to persons interested to give their expert opinion on the prENxxxxxx.
The commenting period is 5 months
The closing date is 5 month after the reported date on the cover of the prENxxxxx.
At this moment the exact releasing dates for enquiry are not yet known, but it is expected that during the period September – November 2014 most of the enquiries will start.
Many of the prEN’s and draft-TR’s will just be available in English, some will be translated in German and French. This is depending on the decisions of DIN and AFNOR.
Below the list of EPB standards to be released for enquiry the coming months is given. Be aware that the titles and designated numbers may be subject to change during the final editing by CEN. As the group of draft standards prepared under the responsibility of CENTC89 is following the ISO path – to be published for enquiry by ISOTC163 – these draft standards will be published a little later: by the end of 2014/ beginning 2015. However their enquiry period will be shorter (3 months).
