amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956 as regards harmonised standards for room
heaters, aquarium luminaires, circuit-breakers and tumble dryers(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 onEuropean 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 Parliamentand of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,

Whereas:(1)

In accordance with Article 12 of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), electricalequipment 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, is to be presumed to be in conformity with the safety
objectives referred to in Article 3 of that Directive and set out in Annex I to that Directive, covered by thoseharmonised standards or parts thereof.

(2)

By letter M/511 of 8 November 2012, the Commission made a request to the European Committee forStandardisation (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for providing the first full list of the titles of harmonised standards
and for the drafting, revision and the completion of harmonised standards, for electrical equipment designed for use
within certain voltage limits in support of Directive 2014/35/EU (‘the request’). The safety objectives referred to inArticle 3 of Directive 2014/35/EU and set out in Annex I to that Directive have not changed since the request wasmade to CEN, Cenelec and ETSI.

(3)

On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec revised harmonised standard EN 60335-2-11:2010, as amended by EN
60335-2-11:2010/A1:2015 and EN 60335-2-11:2010/A11:2012, for tumble dryers, the references of which are
published by Commission Communication 2018/C 326/02 (3). This resulted in the adoption of harmonised
standard EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022 and the amendment thereto EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022/A11:2022.

(4)

On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec amended the following harmonised standards, the references of which
are published by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956 (4): EN 60335-2-30:2009, as amended by EN60335-2-30:2009/A11:2012, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A1:2020 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A12:2020 and correctedby EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2010 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2014, for room heaters; and EN 62423:2012, as(1) OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12.
(2) Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of theMember States relating to the making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits(OJ L 96, 29.3.2014, p. 357).
(3) Commission Communication (2018/C 326/02) in the framework of the implementation of Directive 2014/35/EU of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the marketof electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (OJ C 326, 14.9.2018, p. 4).
(4) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956 of 26 November 2019 on the harmonised standards for electrical equipment
designed for use within certain voltage limits and drafted in support of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of theCouncil (OJ L 306, 27.11.2019, p. 26).

amended by EN 62423:2012/A11:2021, for circuit-breakers. This resulted in the adoption of the following
amendments:
EN60335-2-30:2009/A2:2022
andEN60335-2-30:2009/A13:2002;
andEN 62423:2012/A12:2022.

(5)

On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec also amended harmonised standard EN 60598-2-11:2013, foraquarium luminaires, the reference of which is published by Communication 2018/C 326/02. This resulted in theadoption of amending harmonised standard EN 60598-2-11:2013/A1:2022.

(6)

The Commission, together with CEN and Cenelec, has assessed whether those harmonised standards andamendments thereto comply with the request.

(7)

The following harmonised standards satisfy the safety objectives which they aim to cover and which are set out inDirective 2014/35/EU: EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022, as amended by EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022/A11:2022; EN60335-2-30:2009, as amended by EN 60335-2-30:2009/A11:2012, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A1:2020, EN60335-2-30:2009/A12:2020, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A2:2022 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A13:2022 and correctedby EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2010 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2014; EN 62423:2012, as amended byEN 62423:2012/A11:2021 and EN 62423:2012/A12:2022; and EN 60598-2-11:2013, as amended by EN
60598-2-11:2013/A1:2022. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards and of theamendments thereto in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(8)

Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956 provides in Annex I thereto the references of harmonised standards
conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2014/35/EU. In order to ensure that the references ofharmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/35/EU are listed in one act, the references of thosestandards and of the amendments thereto should be included in that Annex.

(9)

It is therefore necessary to withdraw from the L Series of the Official Journal of the European Union the references ofharmonised standards EN 60335-2-30:2009 and EN 62423:2012, together with the references of any amending orcorrecting standards thereto, given that they have been revised or amended. It is therefore appropriate to delete thosereferences from Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956.

(10)

It is also necessary to withdraw from the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Union the references ofharmonised standards EN 60335-2-11:2010 and EN 60598-2-11:2013, together with the references of any
amending or correcting standards thereto, given that they have been revised. Annex II to Implementing Decision(EU) 2019/1956 lists the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/35/EU that arewithdrawn from the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Union. It is therefore appropriate to include thosereferences in that Annex.

(11)

In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to adapt their electrical equipment that is covered by harmonised
standard EN 60335-2-11:2010, as amended by EN 60335-2-11:2010/A1:2015 and EN 60335-2-11:2010/
A11:2012; EN 60335-2-30:2009, as amended by EN 60335-2-30:2009/A1:2020, EN 60335-2-30:2009/
A11:2012 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A12:2020 and corrected by EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2010 and EN60335-2-30:2009/AC:2014; EN 62423:2012, as amended by EN 62423:2012/A11:2021; or EN
60598-2-11:2013, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the references of those harmonised standards.

(12)

Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1956 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(13)

Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential
requirements, including the safety objectives, set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date ofpublication 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,
