Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1923
of 18 November 2019
on the harmonised standards for cableway installations drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/424 of the European Parliament and of the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
On the basis of the request M/300 CEN drafted several harmonised standards related to the safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons. In particular, CEN drafted EN 17064:2018 and revised standards EN 1709:2004, EN 12927-1:2004, EN 12927-3:2004, EN 12927-4:2004, EN 12927-5:2004 and EN 12927-8:2004, replacing them with standards EN 1709:2019 and EN 12927:2019.
The Commission together with the CEN has assessed whether the standards EN 17064:2018, EN 1709:2019 and EN 12927:2019 drafted by CEN comply with the mandate M/300.
The standards EN 17064:2018, EN 1709:2019 and EN 12927:2019 satisfy the requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/424. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Standard EN 1709:2019 replaces standard EN 1709:2004 and standard EN 12927:2019 replaces standards EN 12927-1:2004, EN 12927-3:2004, EN 12927-4:2004, EN 12927-5:2004 and EN 12927-8:2004. It is therefore necessary to withdraw the references of those standards from the Official Journal of the European Union. In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for application of standards EN 1709:2019 and EN 12927:2019, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the references of the standards that are replaced.
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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
