COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/910
of 9 June 2022
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1326 as regards the harmonised standards for electromagnetic compatibility of low-voltage switches, disconnectors, switch-disconnectors and fuse-combination units, and for external power supply for mobile phones
(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,

<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(2)</p></td><td><p>By Implementing Decision C(2016) 7641&#160;<a>(<span>3</span>)</a>, 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.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

The Commission, together with ETSI, has assessed that the harmonised standard EN 61204-3:2000 can be used instead of the harmonised standard EN 301 489-34 V1.4.1 because the additional protection requirements in standard EN 301 489-34 V1.4.1 to protect the charger from fields generated by the mobile phone are no longer necessary.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
