16 Bio-based products The CEN Technical Committee Bio-based products (CEN/TC 411) develops standards that cover horizontal aspects of bio-based products. European Standards and other standardization deliverables have been or are being developed in relation to the following horizontal aspects of bio-based products: Common terminology Methods for determining bio-based content Sustainability aspects Life Cycle Assessment Declaration tools
