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.

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 The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of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 amendment.
On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the
essential requirements of the directive.
