Contents

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^note, and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,Whereas:

(1)In accordance with Article 9(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council^note, a product 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 conform to the relevant requirements of the applicable implementing measure to which such standards relate.

(2)By Implementing Decision of 1 December 2023^note the Commission made a standardisation request to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (Cenelec) for the revision of harmonised standards in support of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534^note and Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2533^note.

(3)On the basis of the standardisation request Cenelec revised harmonised standard EN 61121:2013 and subsequently adopted amendment EN 61121:2013/A12:2025.

(4)The Commission has assessed whether the standards EN 61121:2013 and EN 61121:2013/A12:2025 drafted by Cenelec comply with the standardisation request.

(5)Standards EN 61121:2013 and EN 61121:2013/A12:2025 satisfy the requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 and Regulation (EU) 2023/2533. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(6)In the interest of clarity and rationality, a complete list of references of harmonised standards drafted in support of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2534 and Regulation (EU) 2023/2533 and satisfying the requirements they aim to cover should be published in a single act.

(7)Standard EN 61121:2013 includes references to harmonised standard EN 60704-2-6:2012 regarding the determination of airborne acoustical noise from household tumble dryers. EN 60704-2-6:2012 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union by Commission Communication 2014/C 149/01^note. Normative references from a standard to another standard can be made to either harmonised standards or to non-harmonised standards, thus making unnecessary the publication of EN 60704-2-6:2012 as reference of a harmonised standard. In the interest of clarity and rationality, the reference of harmonised standard EN 60704-2-6:2012 should be withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union and Communication 2014/C 149/01 should be repealed.

(8)Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding relevant 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 day of its publication,
