CEN/TC 190 - Foundry technology

CEN/TC 190 is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Foundry technology" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of metallic material castings, their production and their application, e.g. material specifications, technical condition of delivery, tolerances of dimensions and forms, methods of testing specific for castings, tools, foundry auxiliaries, e.g. patterns, permanent moulds, field of welding of cast irons. Note: Excluded from thescope are material specifications written by other TCs. This committee has published 85 standards.

CEN/TC 190 develops CEN standards in the area of M03 - FOUNDRY TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING CAST IRON. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of metallic material castings, their production and their application, e.g. material specifications, technical condition of delivery, tolerances of dimensions and forms, methods of testing specific for castings, tools, foundry auxiliaries, e.g. patterns, permanent moulds, field of welding of cast irons. Note: Excluded from thescope are material specifications written by other TCs. Currently, there are 85 published standards from this technical committee.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
