CEN/WS ESR European Culturally Specific ICT Requirements
CEN/CENELEC Workshop Agreement
35.240.01 Application of information technology in general
This CEN Workshop Agreement defines a check list of Culturally Specific ICT Requirements, such as
character sets, internationalisation and user interfaces, in Europe (see Annex A for coverage) that
products and services developed on the framework of the Global Information Infrastructure need to cover
and support. Currently there is no single source for an integrated set of information regarding culturally
specific ICT requirements in Europe. Such a checklist provided by the CWA will assist in this regard.
The CWA also discusses the rationale for the requirements that affect the localisation of ICT systems and
services. In addition to the requirements in a national / cultural application environment, the CWA
identifies areas where national requirements still need be addressed even in pan-European applications.
The potential users of this checklist are: 1) suppliers and implementers who wish to provide products and
services applicable to the relevant market, and service providers, in particular those who wish to operate
across national borders, and 2) users and purchasers who wish to ensure that products and services are
applicable to their use.
The list, however, does not constitute any procurement guidance as such.
In areas, where reliable sources exist for the specifics of the requirements, the CWA will refer to these
sources.
