CEN/TC 326/WG 5 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Operation of LNG (natural gas or biomethane and other renewable and low-carbon methane rich gases), or liquefied H2, fuelled vehicles, including safe and environmentally friendly user practices (fuelling, parking, transit through specific areas, workshops, and accident procedures) Currently, there are 2 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
