3 Guiding principles
The fundamental objective of CEN-CENELEC and their Members is the widest possible
dissemination and use of their Publications throughout the world. The CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre and the Members have complementary roles in meeting this objective.
The CEN-CENELEC Management Centre is funded primarily through the subscriptions of the
CEN and CENELEC Members.
The Members are funded in accordance with their local statutes and rules, but the
commercial exploitation of the Publications is fundamental to the maintenance of the CEN-
CENELEC system as a whole.
A substantial part of the standardisation work is financed by voluntary and gratuitous
participation from businesses, through their participation in committees, financing of projects,
etc.
All Members have an obligation to protect the value of these Publications and ensure that
they and their national and transnational distributors and licensees are in full compliance with
the terms and procedures set out in this Guide.

Edition 2 / January 2010 5
Guidelines for the distribution and sales of CEN/CENELEC publications CEN/CENELEC Guide 10

Any issues that are not covered by this Guide, or by related documents, shall be referred to
the CEN-CENELEC Director General.
The laws of Belgium shall be applicable in all matters concerning CEN-CENELEC copyright,
exploitation rights and sales and distribution policy.
4 Copyright exploitation rights
Copyright exploitation rights in Publications are assigned to CEN-CENELEC and their
Members by all the participants in their drafting.
4.1 Protecting CEN-CENELEC copyright
Exploitation of the copyright in Publications is fundamental to the maintenance of the CEN-
CENELEC system.
Members shall ensure that all Publications carry an appropriate copyright statement
safeguarding the CEN-CENELEC copyright.
It is a fundamental obligation of Members to take all reasonable measures, and take all such
action as may be allowed by their national laws, to prevent the misuse or infringement of the
CEN-CENELEC copyright in their national territories.
The CEN-CENELEC Management Centre shall assist Members in these actions.
4.2 Members’ copyright exploitation rights
Members have, within their own territory, the right to distribute, sub-distribute, adjust,
translate, rent, lend, derive revenue from duplication and loan, communicate to the public in
total or in part, in summary or with comments, transfer all exploitation licences and authorize
all sub-licences and otherwise exploit the Publications and their national implementations.
These exploitation rights cover all languages and all forms of exploitation known at present.
These rights may be shared with other organizations, such as ISO or IEC, in accordance with
the agreements that may from time to time exist between CEN-CENELEC and those
organizations. CEN-CENELEC shall ensure that the terms of any such agreements do not
infringe the sales and distribution rights set out in this Guide, except as may be authorized by
their respective Administrative Boards.
Members shall exercise these rights in accordance with the provisions of this Guide and in a
way that protects the integrity and value of the Publications, safeguards the interests of other
Members and recognizes the value of the intellectual property that they contain and the costs
to the CEN-CENELEC system of its development and maintenance.
In particular, Members shall not make Publications, including national implementations and
definitive language versions, available free of charge to general users without the specific
approval of the Administrative Boards of CEN and/or CENELEC.
