            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/600
of 13 March 2023
         
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 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,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Article 12 of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), electrical equipment 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 those harmonised standards or parts thereof.












(2)


By letter M/511 of 8 November 2012, 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 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 in Article 3 of Directive 2014/35/EU and set out in Annex I to that Directive have not changed since the request was made 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 EN 60335-2-30:2009/A11:2012, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A1:2020 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A12:2020 and corrected by EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2010 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2014, for room heaters; and EN 62423:2012, as amended by EN 62423:2012/A11:2021, for circuit-breakers. This resulted in the adoption of the following amendments: EN 60335-2-30:2009/A2:2022 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A13:2002; and EN 62423:2012/A12:2022.












(5)


On the basis of the request, CEN and Cenelec also amended harmonised standard EN 60598-2-11:2013, for aquarium luminaires, the reference of which is published by Communication 2018/C 326/02. This resulted in the adoption 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 and amendments thereto comply with the request.












(7)


The following harmonised standards satisfy the safety objectives which they aim to cover and which are set out in Directive 2014/35/EU: EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022, as amended by EN IEC 60335-2-11:2022/A11:2022; EN 60335-2-30:2009, as amended by EN 60335-2-30:2009/A11:2012, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A1:2020, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A12:2020, EN 60335-2-30:2009/A2:2022 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/A13:2022 and corrected by EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2010 and EN 60335-2-30:2009/AC:2014; EN 62423:2012, as amended by EN 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 the amendments 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 of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/35/EU are listed in one act, the references of those standards 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 of harmonised standards EN 60335-2-30:2009 and EN 62423:2012, together with the references of any amending or correcting standards thereto, given that they have been revised or amended. It is therefore appropriate to delete those references 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 of harmonised 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 are withdrawn from the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Union. It is therefore appropriate to include those references 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 EN 60335-2-30:2009/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 of publication 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,
