Principles of European Standards

Harmonisation of individual countries countries specifications and test methods to eliminate barriers to trade! 27 (soon to be 28) countries currently represented and bound to implement the ENs (12 in 1989!)

BS ENs EN have h greater t authority/legal th it /l l standing than BSs!
