In searching for info I found this sticker on my Cannondale.
Turns out it is a European Standard number akin to a government stamp of safety measures met.

I suppose the label is the equivalent USA UL seal of approved labeling on electrical items.
The United States has the Consumer Product Safety Commission which established safety requirements for bicycles and helmets but we only see any labeling on helmets in the USA. Usually standards met are listed in owners manuals or on the packaging.
I also found over 100 different brands and models of bicycles listed as stolen where the owners incorrectly reported the serial number as EN14764.
It might be a good idea to remove that sticker from your bike in case it gets stolen and the police think that is the serial number.
