61However, it should be noted that the classification of a period of stand-by time as a ‘rest period’ for the purposes of applying Directive 2003/88 is without prejudice to the duty of employers to comply with their specific obligations under Directive 89/391 to protect the safety and health of their workers. That latter directive is fully applicable to matters of minimum daily and weekly rest periods and maximum weekly working time, without prejudice to more stringent and/or specific provisions contained in Directive 2003/88 (judgment of 14 May 2019, CCOO, C‑55/18, EU:C:2019:402, paragraph 61).
