Annex ZZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the essential requirements
of Directive 2014/30/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered and the
standardisation request M/552
This European standard has been prepared under the European Commission standardisation request
C(2016) 7641 final of 30.11.2016 , ('M/552'), as regards harmonised standards in support of Directive
2014/30/EU relating to electromagnetic compatibility, to provide one voluntary means of conforming to
essential requirements of Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26
February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic
compatibility [2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZA.1 confers, within the limits
of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential
requirements of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION C(2016) 7641 final of 30.11.2016 on a standardisation request to the
European Committee for Standardisation, to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation and to the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute as regards harmonised standards in support of Directive 2014/30/EU
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member
States relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
Annex ZZB
(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating to
harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary means
of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the
making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
[2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZB.1 confers, within the limits
of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives of
that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
