Regulation (EC) No 596/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 adapting a number of instruments subject to the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty to Council Decision 1999/468/EC with regard to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny — Adaptation to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny — Part Four · European Union

As regards Directive 96/98/EC, the Commission should be empowered in particular to adopt testing standards where international organisations fail or refuse to adopt them within a reasonable time, to transfer equipment from Annex A.2 to Annex A.1, and to authorise, in exceptional circumstances, the placing on board of technically innovative equipment. The Commission should also be empowered to apply, for the purposes of that Directive, subsequent amendments of international instruments, to update Annex A, to add the possibility of using certain modules for equipment listed in Annex A.1, to amend the columns for the conformity assessment modules, and to include standardisation organisations in the definition of ‘testing standards’ in Article 2. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 96/98/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
