M/070 - Elect transport & distribution
Equipment and installation for transport and distribution of electricity
Mandate M/070 addresses the development of European standards for equipment and installations involved in the transport and distribution of electricity. It aims to ensure safety, efficiency, interoperability, and reliability in electrical grids across member states. The mandate is issued by the European Commission to standardisation organisations to support the harmonisation of technical requirements, helping to facilitate a unified internal energy market and enhance the security of electricity supply. Standards developed under this mandate cover components, systems, and procedures used in electricity transmission and distribution networks.
Purpose
The mandate M/070 focuses on the standardisation of equipment and installation practices related to the transport and distribution of electricity. It aims to establish common standards to ensure safety, interoperability, efficiency, and reliability across electrical transport and distribution systems within the European Union.
Standardisation request
The request covers the development and harmonisation of standards for the equipment used in electrical transport and distribution as well as the methodologies and guidelines for their installation. This includes technical specifications for components, safety requirements, and procedures to be followed during the installation of electrical transport and distribution systems.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables under this mandate are expected to include:
- Harmonised technical standards for equipment used in electricity transport and distribution.
- Installation guidelines that ensure safe, reliable, and efficient deployment of electrical infrastructure.
- Possibly testing methods and conformity assessment criteria to support compliance and interoperability.
- Documentation to guide industry stakeholders in applying the standards consistently across member states.
Context
This mandate supports the European Union’s objectives related to energy infrastructure development and the internal energy market integration. Standardisation in electricity transport and distribution equipment and installation practices facilitates cross-border trade, enhances safety, improves grid reliability, and supports the integration of renewable energy sources. It aligns with broader EU policies aimed at modernising and securing the energy supply.
This mandate covers the standardisation of equipment and installations used for the transport and distribution of electricity. It encompasses products and systems involved in the electrical power supply chain, ensuring safety, compatibility, and efficiency within the electrical transport and distribution sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. 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/070 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Equipment and installation for transport and distribution of electricity". Equipment and installation for transport and distribution of electricity 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.
