European Union (CEN) standards

The European Committee for Standardization had issued numerous standards covering welding processes, which replaced former national standrds. Of the former national standards, those issued by BSI and DIN were widely used outside their countries of origin. After the Vienna Agreement with ISO, CEN has replaced most of them with equivalent ISO standards (EN ISO series).
