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 stan-
dards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1: The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date
stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential
requirements of the directive.

Note 3:

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments,
if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists
of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amend-
ment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity
with the essential requirements of the directive.
