In the supersymmetric standard model (SSM) the W boson could have a nonvanishing electric dipole moment (EDM) through a one-loop diagram mediated by the charginos and neutralinos. Then the W-boson EDM induces the EDMs of the neutron and the electron. We discuss these EDMs, taking into consideration the constraints from the neutron and electron EDMs at the one-loop level induced by the charginos and squarks or sleptons. It is shown that the neutron and the electron could, respectively, have EDMs of the order of 10{sup {minus}26}ecm and 10{sup {minus}27}ecm, solely owing to the W-boson EDM. Since these EDMs do not depend on the values of the SSM parameters for the squark or slepton sector, they provide less ambiguous predictions for CP violation in the SSM. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
