CEN TECHNICAL STANDARDS

The Technical Committee TC 145, within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), deals with the standardization of safety requirements for plastics and rubber machines. We list here below the Working Groups that belong to TC 145, whose Presidency and Secretariat were managed by Amaplast from 1995 till 2021, with the updating of their activity.
