Mission:

The mission of CEN/ISSS is to provide market players with a comprehensive and integrated range of standardization-oriented services and products, in order to contribute to the success of the Information Society in Europe.

Background:

CEN/ISSS was created in mid-1997 by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) as the focus for its ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) activities. CEN recognized that the market needs of the Information Society could not be met through traditional standardization methods alone, and that a new solution was required.

Process:

ISSS (Information Society Standardization System) provides a middle way, an open process combining the tried and tested backing of the formal standardization environment with a fast, market-driven approach. CEN/ISSS draws on the best of both worlds, bridging the gap between formal and informal standardization, combining the rapid process of informal specification with the security offered by the formal open consensus of traditional standardization.
