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 Councilnote, and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,Whereas:
(1)In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, radio 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 essential requirements set out in Article 3 of that Directive where they are covered by those standards or parts thereof.
(2)By Implementing Decision C(2015) 5376note, the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for the drafting and the revision of harmonised standards, for radio equipment and in support of the essential requirements that are set out in Directive 2014/53/EU and covered by Annex II to that Decision (‘the request’).
(3)On the basis of the request, ETSI drafted harmonised standards EN 300440-2 V3.1.1 on radiodetermination equipment for location tracking applications, EN 301489-5 V2.3.1 on private land mobile radio and ancillary equipment and terrestrial trunked radio, EN 301489-13 V2.1.1 on citizens’ band radio and ancillary equipment, EN 301489-50 V2.4.1 on cellular communication base station, repeater and ancillary equipment, EN 302065-3-3 V3.1.0 on ultra-wide band devices installed in motor and railway vehicles, EN 302065-4-4 V2.1.1 on material sensing devices, EN 303364-1-1 V1.1.1 on air traffic control sensors, and EN 305550-5 V1.1.1 on ultra short range communication equipment.
(4)On the basis of the request, ETSI also revised harmonised standards EN 302217-2 V3.3.1 on fixed radio systems, EN 302372 V2.1.1 on short range devices, EN 303135 V2.1.1 on coastal surveillance, vessel traffic services and harbour radars, and EN 303354 V1.1.1 on amplifiers and active antennas for TV broadcast reception in domestic premises, the references of which are published in the Official Journal of the European Union by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191note. This led ETSI to adopt harmonised standards EN 302217-2 V3.4.1, EN 302372 V3.1.1, EN 303135 V2.2.1 and EN 303354 V1.2.1.
(5)The Commission, together with ETSI, has assessed whether harmonised standards EN 302217-2 V3.4.1, EN 302372 V3.1.1, EN 303135 V2.2.1 and EN 303354 V1.2.1 comply with the request.
(6)Moreover, on the basis of the request, Cenelec amended harmonised standard EN 50566:2017, as amended by EN 50566:2017/A1:2023, on the compliance of wireless communication devices with the basic restrictions and exposure limit values related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields, the references of which are published in the Official Journal of the European Union by Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191. This led Cenelec to adopt harmonised standard EN 50566:2017/A2:2025. The Commission, together with Cenelec, has assessed whether harmonised standard EN 50566:2017, as amended by EN 50566:2017/A1:2023 and EN 50566:2017/A2:2025, complies with the request.
(7)Harmonised standards EN 50566:2017 and its amendments thereto, namely, EN 50566:2017/A1:2023 and EN 50566:2017/A2:2025, as well as EN 300440-2 V3.1.1, EN 302065-3-3 V3.1.0, EN 302065-4-4 V2.1.1, EN 302217-2 V3.4.1, EN 302372 V3.1.1, EN 303135 V2.2.1, EN 303354 V1.2.1, EN 303364-1-1 V1.1.1 and EN 305550-5 V1.1.1 satisfy the essential requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Article 3 of Directive 2014/53/EU. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(8)Harmonised standards EN 301489-5 V2.3.1, EN 301489-13 V2.1.1 and EN 301489-50 V2.4.1 do not address emissions requirements in the frequency band below 9 kHz.
(9)Additionally, harmonised standard EN 301489-13 V2.1.1, in its clause 6, lays down performance-based criteria on a subjective basis, lacking objectively verifiable criteria and specified limits. Consequently, EN 301489-13 V2.1.1 should not provide a presumption of conformity as regards its clause 6, if that clause is applied with such performance-based criteria.
(10)The references of harmonised standards EN 301489-5 V2.3.1, EN 301489-13 V2.1.1 and EN 301489-50 V2.4.1 should therefore be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with restrictions.
(11)Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191 provides the references of harmonised standards conferring a presumption of conformity with Directive 2014/53/EU. In order to ensure that the references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Directive 2014/53/EU are listed in one act, the references of the following harmonised standards should be included in that Annex: EN 50566:2017 and its amendments thereto, namely, EN 50566:2017/A1:2023 and EN 50566:2017/A2:2025; EN 300440-2 V3.1.1; EN 302065-3-3 V3.1.0; EN 302065-4-4 V2.1.1; EN 302217-2 V3.4.1; EN 302372 V3.1.1; EN 303135 V2.2.1; EN 303354 V1.2.1; EN 303364-1-1 V1.1.1; and EN 305550-5 V1.1.1. Furthermore, harmonised standards EN 301489-5 V2.3.1, EN 301489-13 V2.1.1 and EN 301489-50 V2.4.1should be included in that Annex with restrictions.
(12)It is therefore necessary to withdraw from the Official Journal of the European Union the references of the following harmonised standards: EN 50566:2017 and its amendment thereto EN 50566:2017/A1:2023; EN 302217-2 V3.3.1; EN 302372 V2.1.1; EN 303135 V2.1.1; and EN 303354 V1.1.1.
(13)In order to allow manufacturers sufficient time to carry out any adaptations in relation to their radio equipment that is covered by harmonised standard EN 50566:2017, as amended by EN 50566:2017/A1:2023, or the revised harmonised standard EN 302217-2 V3.3.1, EN 302372 V2.1.1, EN 303135 V2.1.1, or EN 303354 V1.1.1, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the references of those harmonised standards from the Official Journal of the European Union.
(14)Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2191 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15)An error has been detected in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/2499note, concerning the deletion of the reference of EN 302729 V2.1.1. Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/2499 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(16)Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements 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 date of its publication,
