In accordance with Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), fan coil units that conform to harmonised standards or parts of them, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, are to be presumed to conform to the relevant requirements of the applicable implementing measure to which such standards relate. These standards are referred to in Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC and set out in Annex VII to the Directive, and covered by the harmonised standards or parts of them.

(2)

By means of Implementing Decision C(2019) 1725 final (3) the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) for the drafting of harmonised standards in support of the implementation of Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 (4).

(3)

On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2019) 1725 final, the CEN published adapted standards (5), in particular standard EN 1397:2021 on fan coil units.

(4)

The Commission, together with the CEN, has assessed whether standard EN 1397:2021 drafted by the CEN complies with request M/560 of 11.3.2019.

(5)

The standard satisfies the requirements which it aims to cover and which are set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/2281. It is therefore appropriate to publish the standard’s references in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(6)

Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity to the corresponding essential requirements, including the safety objectives, set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the standard’s reference in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication,
