REGULATION (EU) 2022/2480 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 14 December 2022
amending Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 as regards decisions of European standardisation organisations concerning European standards and European standardisation deliverables
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) establishes rules with regard to the establishment of European standards and European standardisation deliverables for products and for services, in support of Union legislation and policies. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, the Commission may request one or more European standardisation organisations to draft a European standard or European standardisation deliverable. |
(3) |
European standards and European standardisation deliverables play an important role in the internal market and consumer protection. Standards not only determine the technical aspects of products and services, but they also play an important role for workers, consumers and the environment. For example, harmonised standards can be used to confer a presumption that products to be made available on the market are in conformity with the essential requirements laid down in the relevant Union harmonisation legislation for those products, while ensuring the quality and safety of products and services for consumers and protecting the environment. |

In the past, practices in the European standardisation organisations as regards their internal governance and decision-making procedures have changed. As a result of those changes, the European standardisation organisations have increased their cooperation with international and European stakeholders. Such cooperation is welcome as it contributes to a transparent, open and impartial standardisation process built on consensus. Nevertheless, when European standardisation organisations execute standardisation requests in support of Union legislation and policies, it is essential that their internal decisions take into account the interests, policy objectives and values of the Union, as well as public interests in general. |
(5) |
In line with Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, sound procedures and a balanced representation of relevant stakeholders’ interests, including those stakeholders representing, inter alia, SMEs and environmental, social and consumer interests, are essential, and therefore should be ensured. The views of, and the input from, all relevant stakeholders should be taken into account in European standardisation organisations. Furthermore, the views expressed in the national consultations conducted by national standardisation bodies should be taken into account when taking decisions on European standards and European standardisation deliverables requested under Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. |
(6) |
National standardisation bodies play an essential role in the standardisation system, both at Union level, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, and at Member State level. National standardisation bodies are therefore best placed to ensure that the interests, policy objectives and values of the Union, as well as public interests in general, are duly taken into account in... |
