In accordance with Article 14 of Directive 2013/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), products 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 presumed to be in conformity with the requirements covered by those standards or parts thereof set out in Article 4(1) of Directive 2013/53/EU and Annex I to that Directive.

(2)

By Commission Implementing Decision C(2015) 8736 (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 revision of harmonised standards in support of Directive 2013/53/EU addressing stricter essential requirements set out in Article 4(1) of Directive 2013/53/EU and Annex I to that Directive, in comparison with the repealed Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

(3)

By Implementing Decision C(2015) 8736 CEN and Cenelec were also requested to revise standards the references of which were published by Commission Communication 2015/C 087/01 (5).

(4)

On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2015) 8736, CEN revised harmonised standard EN ISO 11105:2017, the reference of which is published by Commission Communication 2018/C 209/05 (6). This resulted in the adoption of harmonised standard EN ISO 11105:2020 Small craft – Ventilation of petrol engine and/or petrol tank compartments.

(5)

The Commission, together with CEN, has assessed whether harmonised standard EN ISO 11105:2020 drafted by CEN complies with the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2015) 8736.

(6)

The standard EN ISO 11105:2020 sets out the installation requirements for the ventilation of petrol engine and petrol tank compartments in recreational craft having petrol engines for propulsion, electrical generation or mechanical power, to prevent accumulation of explosive gases in these compartments.

(7)

The standard EN ISO 11105:2020 satisfies the essential requirements which it aims to cover and which are set out in Article 4(1) of Directive 2013/53/EU, as well as in points 5.1.2 and 5.2.2 of Part A of Annex I to that Directive. It is therefore appropriate to publish the reference of that standard in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(8)

Standard EN ISO 11105:2020 is to replace standard EN ISO 11105:2017. It is therefore necessary to withdraw the reference of harmonised standard EN ISO 11105:2017 from the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.

(9)

In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for the application of standard EN ISO 11105:2020, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the reference of the standard EN ISO 11105:2017.

(10)

Standard EN ISO 11105:2020 is also to replace standard EN ISO 9097:2017 Small craft – Electric fans, the reference of which is published by Communication 2018/C 209/05. The standard EN ISO 9097:2017 refers to general requirements on electric fans when installed on recreational craft. It is therefore necessary to withdraw the reference of harmonised standard EN ISO 9097:2017 from the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.

(11)

Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/919 (7) lists the references of harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2013/53/EU. The reference of harmonised standard EN ISO 11105:2020 should be included in Annex I to that Implementing Decision.

(12)

Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/919 lists the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2013/53/EU that are withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union. The reference of harmonised standards EN ISO 11105:2017 and EN ISO 9097:2017 should be included in Annex II to that Implementing Decision.

(13)

Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/919 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(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,

(1)

Annex I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision;

(2)

Annex II is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision.
