During the next six months, they will be 'implemented' (i.e. published) by all the Members of CEN, i.e. the National Standards Bodies of 33 European countries (including all EU and EFTA Member States), in accordance with the CEN Internal Regulations. CEN Members may also translate these European Standards into the national languages of their respective countries.
