Draft:CEN/CENELEC JTC 21


CEN/CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 21 is a standardization committee operated by CEN and CENELEC within the field of Artificial Intelligence. It has the goal of producing standardization deliverables to address European market and societal needs and to underpin primarily EU legislation, policies, principles, and values.[1] That work includes the adoption of international standards, for example, from ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42.

The committee is formed of the national standards bodies of the 27 EU countries, the United Kingdom, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland.[2] Australia, Canada and Japan are observers to the committee. Civil society participation is primarily through European organisations representing consumers and workers.[3] The international secretariat of JTC 21 is held by Dansk Standards, located in Denmark. The Chair of the committee is Sebastian Hallensleben.
