In accordance with Article 13 of Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), electrical equipment which is in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, are to be presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements covered by those standards or parts thereof set out in Annex I to that Directive.

(2)

By Implementing Decision C(2016) 7641 (3), the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for the drafting and revision of harmonised standards for electromagnetic compatibility in support of Directive 2014/30/EU.

(3)

On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2016) 7641, CEN and Cenelec revised the following harmonised standards, the references of which are published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union (4): EN 55011:2009, EN 55014-1:2006, EN 55015:2013 and EN 55032:2012. This resulted in the adoption of, respectively, the following harmonised standards and amendments thereto: EN 55011:2016, EN 55011:2016/A1:2017 and EN 55011:2016/A11:2020 for industrial, scientific and medical equipment; EN 55014-1:2017 and EN 55014-1:2017/A11:2020 for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus; EN IEC 55015:2019 and EN IEC 55015:2019/A11:2020 for electrical lighting and similar equipment; and EN 55032:2015 and EN 55032:2015/A11:20 for multimedia equipment.

(4)

On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2016) 7641, CEN and Cenelec amended harmonised standard EN 62026-2:2013, the reference of which is published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union (5). This resulted in the adoption of harmonised standard EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2019.

(5)

The Commission, together with CEN and Cenelec, has assessed whether those harmonised standards comply with the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2016) 7641.

(6)

The harmonised standards EN 55011:2016 as amended by EN 55011:2016/A1:2017 and EN 55011:2016/A11:2020, EN 55014-1:2017 as amended by EN 55014-1:2017/A11:2020, EN IEC 55015:2019 as amended by EN IEC 55015:2019/A11:2020, EN 55032:2015 as amended by EN 55032:2015/A11:2020, and EN 62026-2:2013 as amended by EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2019 satisfy the essential requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Directive 2014/30/EU. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those harmonised standards, together with the relevant amending standards thereto, in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(7)

Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1326 (6) lists the references of harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2014/30/EU. In order to ensure that the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/30/EU are listed in one act, the references of those standards, together with the references of the relevant amending standards thereto, should be included in that Annex.

(8)

It is therefore necessary to withdraw from the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union the references of the following harmonised standards, together with the references of the relevant amending or correcting standards thereto: EN 55011:2009 as amended by EN 55011:2009/A1:2010, EN 55014-1:2006 as amended by EN 55014-1:2006/A1:2009 and EN 55014-1:2006/A2:2011, EN 55015:2013, EN 55032:2012 as corrected by EN 55032:2012/AC:2013, and EN 62026-2:2013.

(9)

Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1326 lists the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/30/EU that are withdrawn from the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union. It is therefore appropriate to include those references, together with the references of the relevant amending or correcting standards thereto, in that Annex.

(10)

In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for application of harmonised standards EN 55011:2016 as amended by EN 55011:2016/A1:2017 and EN 55011:2016/A11:2020, EN 55014-1:2017 as amended by EN 55014-1:2017/A11:2020, EN IEC 55015:2019 as amended by EN IEC 55015:2019/A11:2020, EN 55032:2015 as amended by EN 55032:2015/A11:2020, and EN 62026-2:2013 as amended by EN 62026-2:2013/A1:2019, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the references of the following harmonised standards, together with the references of the relevant amending or correcting standards thereto: EN 55011:2009 as amended by EN 55011:2009/A1:2010, EN 55014-1:2006 as amended by EN 55014-1:2006/A1:2009 and EN 55014-1:2006/A2:2011, EN 55015:2013, EN 55032:2012 as corrected by EN 55032:2012/AC:2013, and EN 62026-2:2013.

(11)

Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1326 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(12)

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 day of its publication,
