About the standards
A European Standard is…
• A document for a common and repeated use
• Produced by all interested parties through a transparent, open and consensus based process
• Voluntary in use
• Reflects market needs
• A tool to support legislation
• Highly aligned with ISO/IEC standards

Standards and legislation
Standards
1. Voluntary
2. Consensual
3. Developed by independent organizations
4. Revised every 5 years
5. Provide specifications and test methods (interoperability, safety, quality, etc.)
Legislation
1. Mandatory
2. Imposed by Law
3. Established by public authorities
4. Revised whenlegislators decide
5. Sets requirements to protect public interests

EU legislation making referenceto standards: HOW?
Direct reference: mandatory - for specific use
NA - Indirect reference legal text refers to publication of standards, standard references are published in the
OJEU

Harmonised standards
• Developed by a recognised ESO and created following a request from the European Commission
• Harmonised standards cited in the OJEU confer ‘presumptionof conformity’
• Manufacturers, other economic operators, or conformity assessment bodies can use harmonised standards to demonstrate that products, services, or processes comply with relevant EU legislation
• Their use remain voluntary
• Alternative sources of information
• DG GROW's European Standards website• National information channels (standards bodies, trade organisations ...)
