Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex ? of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1)
Amendment No. 1 to Mandate M/495 provides a technical update concerning the standardisation requirements for professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1). This amendment specifies detailed requests to European Standardisation Organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop and update relevant standards. The decision on this amendment was recorded as part of resolution CEN/BT C110/2013 and pertains to the approval or disapproval of the mandate modifications to ensure continued alignment with regulatory and market needs in the ecodesign sector.
Purpose
This mandate outlines an amendment to the original M/495, focusing on a technical update concerning standardisation requests related to certain professional equipment. It targets the development and updating of standards harmonising the design and performance requirements under relevant EU regulations.
Standardisation request
The request is directed towards the European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI. It covers professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers condensing units. The aim is to create or update harmonised standards to support conformity with the applicable provisions of Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1).
Expected deliverables
The expected deliverables include the development or revision of technical standards specified in the updated Annex of M/495. These standards will facilitate the assessment and verification of these products’ compliance with ecodesign requirements under the associated Commission Regulation. The deliverables will provide manufacturers, market surveillance authorities, and other stakeholders with clear and reliable norms to ensure energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Context
This amendment, referenced as M/495_AM1, represents a formal update to the initial mandate M/495. The issue was considered and recorded by the CEN Board as resolution CEN/BT C110/2013. The standardisation efforts support the European Union’s ecodesign policy framework, aiming to improve the environmental performance of energy-related products to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable product design throughout the single market.
This mandate covers the standardisation work related to professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units, and process chillers condensing units. The standardisation is conducted under the Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1) and involves updating technical details in Annex ? of M/495, focusing on these specific product categories within the ecodesign framework.

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/495_AM1 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex ? of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1)". Amendment No.l to M/495 - Technical update (Annex ? of M/495 ) - Details of request to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for standardisation in the field of professional storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers condensing units under Commission Regulation XXX/XXX (ENTR Lot 1) There are 19 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.
