CEN/TC304 was established in 1992 by the European Committee for Standardization (Comité
Européen de Normalisation, CEN) with the following scope:
Standardization in the field of information technology as applied to character
sets, to ensure that European requirements are satisfied. The work will be
in the areas of the identification, manipulation and coded representation
of character data and in its input, interchange and rendition by electronic
means.
The work includes other localization-aspects of Information and Communication Technology, such as string representations reflecting date and time conventions, currency notations and other cultural aspects of IT in Europe.
