Unlike ISO standards adopted by CEN, which are designated 'EN ISO', IEC
standards adopted by CENELEC are designated plain 'EN'. Then the
identification letters of the CENELEC member body that publishes the
standard are added, e.g. 'BS EN', or 'DIN EN'

NOT 'European Norm'; those are standards produced by the old Coal and
Steel Community, and their numbers can be confused with some CEN
standards. ENs are 'European Standards' in English.

Well not necessarily a Directive that calls up CE marking, but any
Directive.

It's done by the Commission, and there may be a significant delay before
it is notified. Don't hold your breath!
