CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Activities

This page focuses on activities related to privacy carried out in the European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs)

CEN-CENELEC JWG8 on Privacy Management of Security Products and Related Services

Context	The European commission has issued in early 2015 a mandate to European Standardisation Organisations (or ESOs), CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) to work on a roadmap of standards covering the privacy management of security products and related services Consequently, CEN/CENELEC has decided to launch a joint working group JWG8, the secretariat of which will be managed by AFNOR (France). The objective if to define a roadmap and work plan for October 2015

Comments	[Antonio Kung] During the IPEN workshop it was made clear that the concept of security products should be more clearly defined (in particular on the contradiction between surveillance and privacy)

CEN/TC225 - AIDC technologies

As stated in Wikipedia : Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering that data directly into computer systems (i.e. without human involvement). Technologies typically considered as part of AIDC include bar codes, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), biometrics, magnetic stripes, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), smart cards, and voice recognition. AIDC is also commonly referred to as “Automatic Identification,” “Auto-ID,” and "Automatic Data Capture."

Data Protection, Privacy and Information Aspects of RFID

Context	In December 2008, the European Commission addressed the Mandate M/436 to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI in the field of ICT as applied to RFID systems. The Mandate M/436 was accepted by the ESOs in the first months of 2009. The Mandate addresses the data protection, privacy and information aspects of RFID, and is being executed in two phases. Phase 1, completed in May 2011, identified the work needed to produce a complete framework of future RFID standards. The Phase 1 results are contained in the ETSI Technical Report TR 187 020, which was published in May 2011. Phase 2 is concerned with the execution of the standardisation work programme identified in the first phase. This second phase ended in July 2014 with the publication of different technical reports and the publication of two European standards: EN 16571: « Information technology - RFID privacy impact assessment process» and EN 16570: « Information technology - Notification of RFID - The information sign and additional information to be provided by operators of RFID application systems».
