The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)
The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) develops European standards for electrical engineering. The committee represents the interests of 33 member countries and 13 affiliate member countries for the European marketplace. Their standards pattern those developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
In addition to participating in many of the national committees that serve as members to CENELEC, CommScope actively participates in Technical Committee CENELEC TC 215, Electrotechnical aspects of telecommunication equipment.
CommScope's principal involvement with TC 215 is with the EN 50173 design series (Information Technology-Generic Cabling Systems) and the EN 50174 installation series (Information Technology-Cabling Installation).
