BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsbeslutningen)

(1) In accordance with Article 17 of Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), interoperability constituents and subsystems 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 essential requirements covered by those standards or parts thereof set out in that Directive.

(2) By Commission Implementing Decision C(2023) 1057 (3) the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) for the drafting and the revision of harmonised standards in support of Directive (EU) 2016/797, which repealed Directive 2008/57/EU.

(3) On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2023) 1057 CEN and Cenelec drafted the following new harmonised standards: EN 15085-3:2022+A1:2023; EN 15085-6:2022; EN 16334-1:2014+A1:2022; EN 16704-1:2016+A1:2021; EN 16704-3:2016+A1:2021; EN 16839:2022; EN 50641:2020 and an amendment EN 62580-1:2016/A11:2017 to harmonised standard EN 62580-1:2016.

(4) Furthermore, on the basis of the Request, CEN and Cenelec revised the following harmonised standards, the references of which are published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union by means of Communications 2011/C 214/02 (4) and 2018/C 282/03 (5), and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/453 (6), in order to adapt them to technological progress: EN ISO 3381:2011, EN 12080:2017, EN 12082:2017, EN 13103-1:2017, EN 13230-4:2009, EN 13260:2009+A1:2010, EN 13261:2009+A1:2010, EN 13262:2004+A2:2011, EN 13272:2012, EN 13481-2:2012+A1:2017, EN 13481-3:2012, EN 13481-5:2012+A1:2017, EN 13481-7:2012, EN 13674-2:2006+A1:2010, EN 13715:2006+A1:2010, EN 13749:2011, EN 13979-1:2003+A2:2011, EN 14033-1:2017, EN 14067-5:2006+A1:2010, EN 14363:2016+A1:2018, EN 14531-1:2015, EN 14535-1:2005+A1:2011, EN 14535-2:2011, EN 14535-3:2015, EN 14601:2005+A1:2010, EN 14752:2015, EN 15020:2006+A1:2010, EN 15153-1:2013+A1:2016, EN 15153-2:2013, EN 15227:2008+A1:2010, EN 15302:2008+A1:2010, EN 15427:2008+A1:2010, EN 15437-1:2009, EN 15437-2:2012, EN 15528:2015, EN 15551:2017, EN 15566:2016, EN 15595:2009+A1:2011, EN 15611:2008+A1:2010, EN 15612:2008+A1:2010, EN 15624:2008+A1:2010, EN 15625:2008+A1:2010, EN 15654-1:2018, EN 15663:2009, EN 15663:2009/AC:2010, EN 15686:2010, EN 15687:2010, EN 15734-1:2010EN 15734-2:2010 as corrected by EN 15734-2:2010/AC:2012, EN 15746-1:2010+A1:2011, EN 15746-2:2010+A1:2011, EN 15806:2010, EN 15807:2011, EN 15892:2011, EN 16116-1:2013, EN 16116-2:2013, EN 16185-1:2014, EN 16185-2:2014, EN 16186-3:2016+A1:2018, EN 16207:2014, EN 16334:2014, EN 45545-2:2013+A1:2015, EN 50122-2:2010, EN 50122-3:2010, EN 50155:2007 as corrected by EN 50155:2007/AC:2010 and EN 50155:2007/AC:2012, EN 50159:2010, EN 50163:2004 as corrected by EN 50163:2004/AC:2010 and EN 50163:2004/AC:2013 and as amended by EN 50163:2004/A1:2007, EN 50238-1:2003 as corrected by EN 50238-1:2003/AC:2014EN 50317:2012, EN 50317:2012/AC:2012EN 50367:2012, EN 50367:2012/AC:2013 and amended by EN 50367:2012/A1:2016, EN 50388:2012 as corrected by EN 50388:2012/AC:2013, EN 50553:2012 as corrected by EN 50553:2012/AC:2013 and amended by EN 50553:2012/A1:2016.

(5) This resulted in the adoption of the following amending harmonised standards: EN 13481-2:2022; EN 13481-3:2022; EN 14363:2016+A2:2022; EN 15437-2:2012+A1:2022; EN 15551:2022; EN 15566:2022; EN 15611:2020+A1:2022; EN 15624:2021; EN 15625:2021; EN 15734-1:2010+A1:2021; EN 15807:2021; EN 16116-1:2022; EN 16116-2:2021; EN 16186-3:2022; EN 50155:2021.

(6) In addition, on the basis of the Request, CEN and Cenelec amended/revised the following standards, the references of which are included in Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/453: EN 14067-6:2018, EN 14198:2016+A1:2018, EN 50122-1:2011 as amended by EN 50122-1:2011/A1:2011, EN 50122-1:2011/A2:2016, EN 50122-1:2011/A3:2016 and EN 50122-1:2011/A4:2017 and as corrected by EN 50122-1:2011/AC:2012, EN 50318:2018.

(7) This resulted in the adoption of the following amending harmonised standards: EN 14198:2016+A2:2021 and EN 50318:2018 as amended by EN 50318:2018/A1:2022.

(8) The Commission, together with CEN and Cenelec, has assessed whether those standards drafted or revised by CEN and Cenelec comply with the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2023) 1057.

(9) The harmonised standards drafted, revised and amended by CEN and Cenelec on the basis of the Request, except for harmonised standard EN 50641:2020, satisfy all the requirements, which they aim to cover and which are set out in Directive (EU) 2016/797. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(10) However, having examined the standard EN 50641:2020, the Commission has concluded that the standard meets the requirements set out in Directive (EU) 2016/797 only in relation to clause 4.2.4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 (7). It is therefore appropriate to publish the reference of this standard, with restrictions, in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(11) In the interests of clarity and rationality, a complete list of references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and satisfying the requirements they aim to cover should be published in a single act. The other references of harmonised standards originally published in Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/453 and Communication 2018/C 282/03 should therefore either be included in this Decision if their validity is confirmed, or be withdrawn at the date of publication of this Decision from the Official Journal of the European Union.

(12) Many of the references of harmonised standards published in Communication 2018/C 282/03 have already been withdrawn by Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/453.

(13) Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/453 should therefore be repealed and Communication 2018/C 282/03 should cease to apply.

(14) 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 date of its publication,
