What it is
PKN (Polski Komitet Normalizacyjny, the Polish Committee for Standardization) is Poland’s national standards body and the Polish member of the European organisation CEN and the international body ISO. It develops Polish standards (PN) and publishes the Polish adoptions of European (EN) and international standards.
Why it matters for compliance
Conformity in practice means applying the right standard, and PKN is where you access and buy the EN standards your product needs for the Polish market. A standard’s legal weight comes from being harmonised (cited in the Official Journal) for the applicable legislation.
How to use it
- Find and purchase the relevant EN/PN standards for your product.
- Confirm a standard is harmonised and current for the applicable legislation.
- Pair it with Poland’s market-surveillance authority, UOKiK, for enforcement.
Good to know
Poland is a major manufacturing and logistics market, so having the right standards-based documentation ready smooths both compliance and retailer onboarding there.
