Talk:List of EN standards

StandardsDirect.org
I removed the link to a standards purchase site, standardsdirect.org. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam for more about this site. As I see it, Wikipedia is not a directory and we're not here to help people sell things. Most of these standardsdirect.org links have been added by single purpose accounts who likely have a conflict of interest. See:
 * Conflict of Interest Guideline
 * What Wikipedia is Not Policy
 * External Links Guideline
 * Spam Guideline

If an established, high-volume editor wants to add it back to the article, by all means go ahead. Otherwise, it stays out pending resolution at the spam discussion link above. -- A. B. (talk • contribs) 00:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Maintenance
In order to build a network of relations and ease future maintenance please deliberately go through redirects when linking to related target articles (rather than using pipes). If such redirects don't exist already, please create them. See also: WP:NOPIPE.

Further, please ensure that blue links in this list also show up in Category:EN standards by adding this category to the target article (or redirect) as follows: (whereby 00000 is replaced by the standard number with leading zeros). Thanks. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 16:15, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Adding tables
In order to add sorting capabilities to the list of standards. I propose to add table formatting instead of a list.--Hayertjez (talk) 12:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Origin of "En"
In the main page it says: abbreviated ENs owing to the more literal translation from French/German as European Norms. I haven't been able to read the references cited yet. I would be interested to hear from those who have how it relates to the "En" British standard series from 1955: https://www.westyorkssteel.com/blog/bs970-an-act-of-perseverance/. For example EN1 seems to have been published in 1998? Was this the first one published? The European Committee for Standardization was founded in 1961, did it start publishing EN number standards straight away?
