Dear All,
for your information as user of harmonised standards: the German Federal Ministry of Econimc Affairs and Energy has published a legal opinion on the European standardisation system. The expert opinion, which was drafted on behalf of the Ministry, considers and assesses the current state of the European standardisation system and deals in particular with the implications of a ruling of the European Court of Justice, known as the James Elliott ruling (C-613/14) of October 2016. The European Commission has significantly changed the procurement and implementation practice for European harmonised standards and standardisation mandates in response to the ruling. This has led to discussions in industry, among technical experts and in the Member States. The legal opinion can be downloaded from this website in German, English and French and as an executive summary (Q&A): https://www.bmwi.de/Redaktion/EN/Meldung/20200831-legal-opinion-on-the-europ ean-standardisation-system.html This legal opinion analyzes the new publication process of the Commission (HAS Consultant approach) and the increasing problems (e. g. EN IEC 62368-1:2020+A11:2020 3rd edition).
