European Commission updates harmonised standards
The European Commission has updated and consolidated the list of harmonised standards supporting the EU General Product Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/988). The update includes revised standards relating to gymnastic equipment, children’s high chairs, and cigarette ignition propensity.
As part of this update, Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1698, which established harmonised standards under the former EU General Product Safety Directive (Directive 2001/95/EC), has been repealed. Standards previously harmonised under the directive are now harmonised under the General Product Safety Regulation.
According to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/901, additional updates have also been made to the list of harmonised standards.
