Introduction
This document has been prepared by the experts of CEN/TC 454 'Algae and algae products'.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) was requested by the European Commission (EC) to
draft European standards or European standardization deliverables to support the implementation of
Article 3 of Directive 2009/28/EC for algae and algae-based products or intermediates.
This request, presented as Mandate M/547 , also contributes to the Communication on “Innovating for
Sustainable Growth: A Bio economy for Europe”.
The former working group CEN Technical Board Working Group 218 “Algae”, was created in 2016 to
develop a work programme as part of this Mandate. The technical committee CEN/TC 454 'Algae and
algae products' was established to carry out the work programme that will prepare a series of standards.
The interest in algae and algae-based products or intermediates has increased significantly in Europe as
a valuable source including but not limited to, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and several pigments.
These materials are suitable for use in a wide range of applications from food and feed purposes to other
sectors, such as textile, cosmetics, biopolymers, biofuel and fertilizer/biostimulants. Standardization was
identified as having an important role in order to promote the use of algae and algae products.
The work of CEN/TC 454 should improve the reliability of the supply chain, thereby improving the
confidence of industry and consumers in algae, which include macroalgae, microalgae, cyanobacteria,
Labyrinthulomycetes, algae-based products or intermediates and will promote and support
commercialisation of the European algae industry.
This document has been developed with the aim to cover the horizontal definitions for algae and algae-
based products or intermediates. Hence, other terms and definitions are given in the other standards
developed by CEN/TC 454 “Algae and algae products”.
For food, feed and non-food, non-feed applications additional definitions may exist in other product
specific standards.

En definissant les algues comme un groupe fonctionnel d'organismes (comprenant microalgues, macroalgues, cyanobactéries et Labyrinthulomycètes), la norme permet une meilleure compréhension et communication entre les acteurs du secteur. Cela favorise également le développement de nouvelles méthodologies de recherche et de production basées sur les algues. De plus, cette norme répond à un besoin croissant de standardisation dans un marché en pleine expansion, facilitant ainsi les échanges commerciaux et la collaboration à l'échelle internationale. La clarté et la précision des définitions fournies par la norme SIST EN 17399:2020 la rendent indispensable pour les professionnels et chercheurs qui souhaitent naviguer efficacement dans le domaine des algues et des produits algaux. En somme, la norme SIST EN 17399:2020 se positionne comme un document fondamental, offrant des bases solides pour le développement futur de produits algaux et contribuant à l'innovation dans des domaines qui dépendent de la compréhension des algues et de leurs nombreuses applications.
The EN 17399:2020 standard titled "Algae and algae products - Terms and definitions" provides a comprehensive framework that defines essential terminology related to the functions, products, and properties of algae and algae products. Its primary purpose is to promote a clear and standardized understanding within the sector, covering the broad spectrum of algae as a functional group which includes microalgae, macroalgae, cyanobacteria, and Labyrinthulomycetes. One of the strengths of this standard lies in its thorough elaboration of the various terms associated with algae and their utilization. By establishing a consistent vocabulary, it facilitates better communication among researchers, producers, and consumers, thus enhancing collaboration across multiple disciplines that involve algae. The inclusion of diverse organisms within the classification of algae reflects the standard's broad scope and commitment to inclusivity in the rapidly evolving field of algal research and product development. Furthermore, the standard’s relevance is underscored by the increasing acknowledgment of algae's potential in environmental sustainability, food security, and biotechnology. As industries continue to explore algae for various applications-including biofuels, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements-the need for a well-defined set of terms becomes paramount. EN 17399:2020 meets this need by providing clarity and consistency, which can drive innovation and ensure quality in algae-related products and research. Overall, the EN 17399:2020 standard serves as an essential resource that not only standardizes critical terminology but also reinforces the importance of algae and algae products in contemporary science and industry. Its comprehensive definitions set a valuable benchmark that can guide the future exploration and utilization of algal resources.
