The General Assembly consists of all members of CEIR. It is to be held once a year, presided over by the CEIR President or the Vice-President.
CEIR is administered and controlled by a Board, which has to effect all decisions taken by the General Assembly and to deal with all matters of urgency occurring throughout the year. The Board also takes decisions about the financial needs of the association, it determines adequate yearly contributions to be paid by each member association and controls the use made of them.
Within the organisation of CEIR there are Product Commissions (PC). The Product Commissions deal with standardization, market, production and technical questions. In particular the Product Commissions define the standardization policy, approve the annual report and the yearly revised work programs of the Technical Commissions (TC) and issue directives for their operation.
