When an EU member state or the European Parliament considers that a harmonised standard (see definition in Article 2(1)(c) of Regulation (EU)No 1025/2012) does not entirely satisfy the requirements which it aims to cover and which are set out in the relevant EU harmonisation legislation, it shall inform the Commission thereof with a detailed explanation. This procedure is given in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. After such objection the Commission shall, after consulting all EU members, adopt a decision which maintains or enables, restricts or fully removes the references to the harmonised standards concerned in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
All such decisions are published in the C series of the OJEU and on the basis of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, the Commission shall publish information on its website on the harmonised standards that have been subject to decisions. This page covers the Commission decisions taken after 1 January 2013.
