CENELEC
     
         The European Committee for Electrotechnical
        Standardization.  A body developing electrotechnical standards
        for the Single European Market / European Economic Area in
        order to reduce internal frontiers and trade barriers for
        electrotechnical products, systems and services.  CENELEC's 19
        member countries and 11 affiliate countries aim to adopt and
        implement the required standards, which are mostly identical
        to the {International Electrotechnical Commission} (IEC)
        standards.  CENELEC works in co-operation with {Comite
        Europeen de Normalisation} (CEN) and {European
        Telecommunications Standards Institute} (ETSI).
