(fra kommisjonsbeslutningen)

(1) The detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards referred to in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 include procedures for approval and use of civil aviation security equipment.

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 (2) establishes a harmonised regime of approval for the installation of civil aviation security equipment.

(3) Steps taken to ensure that civil aviation security equipment meets the required performance standards have been harmonised to ensure the best implementation of the common basic standards in aviation security.

(4) The Commission acknowledges the common evaluation process of the European Civil Aviation Conference as a mandatory pre-condition for the approval of civil aviation security equipment. The Commission grants a temporary ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking status to equipment confirmed by the common evaluation process only after it has received the Level 2 reports.

(5) Security equipment approved at national level by derogation from the harmonised regime of approval should not automatically receive the ‘EU Stamp’ marking. The Commission may grant a temporary ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking status to equipment approved at national level only after it has received the test reports.

(6) The Commission should adopt a decision to grant an ‘EU Stamp’ marking to equipment that has received a temporary ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking status.

(7) Commission Decision (EU) 2021/2147 (3) establishes a consolidated list of approved civil aviation security equipment with ‘EU Stamp’ marking status to equipment confirmed by the common evaluation process of the European Civil Aviation Conference, for the purpose of installation and use throughout the Union.

(8) Since its adoption, several new configurations of civil aviation security equipment have successfully undergone the common evaluation process of the European Civil Aviation Conference, and the relevant Level 2 reports have been submitted to the Commission that has granted the ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking status thereto.

(9) The Annex to Decision (EU) 2021/2147 should therefore be amended by adding the new configurations of civil aviation security equipment to which an ‘EU Stamp pending’ marking status was granted. As the number of configurations to be added are deemed to significantly modify the existing Annex, it is more appropriate to replace that Annex.

(10) The Commission should maintain a consolidated Union database listing equipment allowed for installation and use throughout the Union,
