(1) In accordance with Article 41(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), digital product passports which are in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, are to be presumed to be in conformity with the requirements set out in Articles 10 and 11 of that Regulation covered by those harmonised standards or parts thereof.

(2) By Commission Implementing Decision C(2024) 5423 (3), as amended by Implementing Decision C(2025) 8024 (4), the Commission made a request to the CEN, Cenelec and ETSI for drafting harmonised standards in support of the requirements that are set out in Article 10 and Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (‘the request’).

(3) On the basis of the request, CEN, Cenelec and ETSI drafted harmonised standards EN 18216:2026, EN 18219:2026, EN 18220:2026, EN 18221:2026, EN 18222:2026, and EN 18223:2026 for digital product passports in support of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

(4) The Commission, together with CEN, Cenelec and ETSI, has assessed whether harmonised standards EN 18216:2026, EN 18219:2026, EN 18220:2026, EN 18221:2026, EN 18222:2026 and EN 18223:2026 comply with the request.

(5) Harmonised standards EN 18216:2026, EN 18219:2026, EN 18220:2026, EN 18221:2026, EN 18222:2026 and EN 18223:2026 satisfy the requirements set out in Articles 10 and 11 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(6) Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements, set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such standard in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication,
