The CEN and CENELEC "Webinars for standard drafters" are of interest of all persons drafting CEN and/or CENELEC standards. They aim primarily Technical Body Secretaries and TC Working Group convenors. Through these webinars we will achieve a common understanding of the drafting rules and the related procedures. This is also an ideal opportunity for the CEN and CENELEC editors to better understand the expectations of the Technical Body Officers and strengthen the working relationships with the different Technical Bodies.
As the OSD -Online Standards Development platform- is becoming the default for CEN projects in scope activated after 1 July 2026, in this transition year the webinars cover both drafting in OSD and in Word (for CEN projects not in scope and CENELEC projects).
During this webinar editor Amy Jayne will do a “live-edit” of a European Standard text, combining CEN and CENELEC. The webinar will discuss regular problems met, processing, what happens when styling and IR3 application goes wrong, and what CCMC editors actually do, including (but not limited to):
- Inserting and linking figures
- Styling (using the palette)
- Structure of the standard - Use and conversion of formulae (MathType and WORD equation etc.)
- How to use the stm file
Target audience: Standards drafters, convenors and TC secretaries (anyone drafting standards or working with the documents)
