    COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/941

    of 2 May 2023

    on harmonised standards for personal protective equipment drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

    Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), personal protective equipment that is in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, is to be presumed to be in conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex II to that Regulation covered by those standards or parts thereof.

    (2)

    In Commission Implementing Decision C(2020)7924 (3), the Commission calls upon the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec) to draft harmonised standards in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

    (3)

    On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2020)7924, CEN drafted several new standards and revised a number of existing harmonised standards.

    (4)

    On the basis of Implementing Decision C(2020)7924, CEN drafted the following new harmonised standards: EN 13138-1:2021 on safety requirements and test methods for buoyant aids for swimming instructions, as corrected by EN 13138-1:2021/AC:2022, EN 17520:2021 on safety requirements and test methods for personal belay lanyards, and EN ISO 16321-2:2021 on additional requirements for eye and face protection used during welding and related techniques in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

    (5)

    On the basis of Implementing Decision C(2020)7924, CEN revised the harmonised standards EN 166:2001, EN 169:2002, EN 170:2002, EN 171:2002, EN 172:1994 as amended by EN 172:1994/A1:2000 and EN 172:1994/A2:2001, EN 174:2001, EN 379:2003+A1:2009, EN 1731:2006 and EN ISO 20345:2011. That revision resulted in the adoption of harmonised standards EN ISO 16321-1:2022 on general requirements for eye and face protection for occupational use, EN ISO 16321-3:2022 on additional requirements for mesh eye and face protectors, EN ISO 18527-1:2022 on requirements for downhill skiing and snowboarding goggles and EN ISO 20345:2022 on safety footwear.

    (6)

    The Commission together with CEN has assessed whether the harmonised standards drafted and revised by CEN comply with the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2020)7924.

    (7)

    The harmonised standards EN 13138-1:2021, as corrected by EN 1318-1:2021/AC:2022, EN ISO 16321-1:2022, EN ISO 16321-2:2021, EN ISO 16321-3:2022, EN 17520:2021, EN ISO 18527-1:2022 and EN ISO 20345:2022 satisfy the requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/425. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    (8)

    The harmonised standards EN ISO 16321-2:2021 and EN ISO 16321-3:2022 refer to a normative reference standard EN ISO 16321-1:2020, the date of which is incorrect. Those harmonised standards should therefore be published with restriction in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    (9)

    It is necessary to withdraw the references of harmonised standards EN 166:2001, EN 169:2002, EN 170:2002, EN 172:1994 as amended by EN 172:1994/A1:2000, and EN 172:1994/A2:2001, EN 174:2001, EN 379:2003+A1:2009, EN 1731:2006 and EN ISO 20345:2011 from the Official Journal of the European Union, given that those standards have been revised.

    (10)

    In the interests of clarity and rationality, a complete list of references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and satisfying the requirements they aim to cover should be published in a single act. The references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 are currently set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/668 (4) and Commission Communication 2018/C 209/03 (5).

    (11)

    Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/668 has been substantially amended several times. In the interests of clarity and rationality, and since further amendment needs to be made to that Implementing Decision, that Implementing Decision should be replaced.

    (12)

    Many of the references of harmonised standards published by Communication 2018/C 209/03 have been withdrawn by Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/668. Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/668 provides for the withdrawal of the remaining references of harmonised standards that are published by that Communication. In the interests of clarity and rationality, Communication 2018/C 209/03 should be repealed. To give manufacturers sufficient time to adapt their products to the revised versions of the standards concerned, Communication 2018/C 209/03 should continue to apply until the dates of withdrawal of the references of the concerned harmonised standards published by that Communication.

    (13)

    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,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

    Article 1

    The references to harmonised standards for personal protective equipment drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/425, listed in Annex I to this Decision, are hereby published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    Article 2

    Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/668 is repealed.

    Article 3

    Communication 2018/C 209/03 is repealed.

    However, it shall continue to apply in respect of the references of harmonised standards listed in Annex II to this Decision until the dates of withdrawal of those references set out in that Annex.

    Article 4

    This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    Done at Brussels, 2 May 2023.
