The European Standards for Air Traffic Management (ATM) are developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). The standards are developed in collaboration with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The standards provide guidance on the design, implementation, and operation of ATM systems. They cover topics such as the design and installation of ATM systems, air traffic control, navigation services, and communication systems. The standards also provide minimum requirements for the installation and operation of ATM systems.
The EN standards are designed to ensure that ATM systems are designed and operated in a safe and efficient manner. The standards are regularly reviewed and revised to ensure that they remain up to date with advances in technology and to ensure that ATM systems continue to meet the highest safety and efficiency standards.
Some standards support the European legislation and their reference is published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). The European standards are also widely adopted by other countries and are often used as the basis for national ATM regulations.
