Note 1

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of
users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed
to the Directive 98/34/EC (1) of the European Parliament and Council amended by the Directive
