CEN-CENELEC Guide 10:2017 (E)
Introduction
The exploitation of copyright in CEN and CENELEC Publications is a main source of income for the
majority of Members and a cornerstone of the sustainability of the CEN-CENELEC standardization
system.
Therefore, sales must be based on commercial principles and conducted in a way that secures the
value and content of the Publications to CEN, CENELEC, their Members and the end users.
Members and all other organizations that sell and disseminate CEN-CENELEC Publications must also
ensure that they do their best to protect the value of CEN-CENELEC Publications.
Compliance with this Guide is mandatory for CEN-CENELEC Members, Affiliates, Companion
Standardization Bodies, the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre, other recognized stakeholders and
any distributor or licensee of these parties.
