A kick-off meeting is held, approves the Business plan

Results by consensus of the participants (optional “public enquiry” on web)

Public comment (now obligatory for “public interest” cases) – 60 days minimum on
the web, all comments are addressed

Technical specifications, guidance material, best practice information
 CEN Workshop Agreements (CWA)

Represent the Workshops’ main end-product

Not “formal standards” but CWAs appear in catalogues of CEN Member bodies
