Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/501 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate to the European Standardisation Organisations for standardisation in the field of equipment used in the offshore oil and gas industry". Mandate to the European Standardisation Organisations for standardisation in the field of equipment used in the offshore oil and gas industry There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
