CENELECsäädöksiä

CENELEC regulations, or CENELEC säädökset in Finnish, refer to the legal framework and technical standards established by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). CENELEC is a regional standardization organization that develops and publishes European standards in the field of electrical engineering and related technologies. These standards aim to harmonize technical specifications across its member countries, facilitating the free movement of goods and services within the European Economic Area.

The regulations developed by CENELEC cover a wide range of electrotechnical areas, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, energy efficiency, and telecommunications equipment. Compliance with CENELEC standards is often a prerequisite for placing products on the European market, ensuring that they meet safety and performance requirements. National standardization bodies in CENELEC member states are responsible for transposing these European standards into their national regulations.

Adherence to CENELEC regulations supports innovation, promotes fair competition, and enhances consumer safety. They are crucial for the interoperability of electrical and electronic products and systems across Europe, contributing to the integration of the European single market.
