标准2025CEN近期与欧洲整骨疗师联盟(EFO)和欧洲骨疗法规论坛合作(FORE), 通过并颁布了一个有关整骨医疗的欧洲标准 。这一标准的颁布为高质量的临床实践、临床教育以及临床实践的安全和道德问题提供基准。
有关整骨医疗的欧洲标准（EN/16686）由CEN骨疗服务项目委员会（CEN/TC 414）研究制定，该委员会由来自10多个国家的医疗专家组成。这个项目委员会由CEN、EFO和FORE联合成立。秘书处由CEN下属的奥地利标准委员会承担。
EN16686明确规定了整骨疗法临床实践中的器械、设备、临床教育和道德框架。如果实施得当，新的欧洲标准将帮助确保整骨医师为病人提供安全的治疗环境和高质量的治疗。CEN于2015年7月颁布此项标准，此后CEN33个欧洲成员国也陆续颁布这一标准。
整骨疗法是以接触治疗为主，以病人为中心的治疗方法。它注重身体各部分构造间的相互关系和身体机能，激发身体自愈能力，帮助整个人达到全方位的健康和良性发展，治疗过程中主要采用各种手法进行治疗。整骨疗法是一种特殊的医疗职业，整骨疗师的服务遍布欧洲。
新的欧洲标准应该在全欧洲范围内致力于提高民众对于整骨疗法的意识和理解，同时为整骨医师和病人带来益处。尤其在那些针对整骨疗法服务没有特殊规定的国家，EN16686的实施将有很大价值。
EFO的主席以及CEN/TC 414的主席Jonathan Bailey-Teyletche说道：“欧洲整骨疗法标准为全欧洲整骨疗师需要参加的培训规格以及病人应该获取的治疗水平提供基准。这一标准要求整骨医师完成相关学习，并通过培训达到相应的水平，同时还对后续职业发展提出要求。此外，欧洲标准还声明严谨和有据可依的临床实践是整骨疗师治疗病人和管理病例过程中重要的一部分。
New European Standard for Osteopathy Services
CEN has adopted and issued a European Standard on Osteopathic Healthcare Provision, which has been developed in partnership with the European Federation of Osteopaths (EFO) and the Forum for Osteopathic Regulation in Europe (FORE). This new standard sets a benchmark for high quality clinical practice, education, safety and ethics.
The European Standard on Osteopathic Healthcare Provision (EN 16686) was developed by CEN’s Project Committee on 'Services for Osteopaths' (CEN/TC 414), which included healthcare professionals from more than 10 European countries. This Project Committee was set up in 2011 by CEN in partnership with the European Federation of Osteopaths (EFO) and the Forum for Osteopathic Regulation in Europe (FORE). The secretariat was provided by CEN’s member in Austria (Austrian Standards).
EN 16686 specifies requirements and recommendations regarding the healthcare provision, facilities and equipment, education, and ethical framework for the practice of osteopathy. When correctly applied, the new European Standard will help osteopaths to ensure that they provide a safe environment for patients and high quality treatment. The standard was made available by CEN in July 2015, and has since been published by CEN’s national members in 33 European countries.

Osteopathy is a primary contact and patient-centred healthcare discipline, that emphasises the interrelationship of structure and function of the body, facilitates the body’s innate ability to heal itself, and supports a whole-person approach to all aspects of health and healthy development, principally by the practice of manual treatment. Osteopathy is a distinct healthcare profession, with osteopaths providing their services all over Europe.
The new European Standard should contribute to raising awareness and understanding of osteopathic practice throughout Europe, bringing benefits to osteopaths and their patients. EN 16686 is expected to be especially valuable in countries where there are no specific regulations regarding the provision of osteopathic healthcare services.
Jonathan Bailey-Teyletche, President of the EFO and Chairman of CEN/TC 414, says: "The European Standard on Osteopathic Healthcare Provision provides a benchmark for the level of training that an osteopath should undertake as well as the level of healthcare that should be provided to osteopathic patients throughout Europe. The Standard requires osteopaths to complete relevant education and training to a specified level, as well as following continuing professional development. In addition, the European Standard sets out that scientific rigour and evidence-informed practice are an important part of an osteopath’s approach to patient treatment and case management."
