Recital 19

(19) A number of sectorial Union harmonised acts provide for the possibility for a manufacturer to benefit from a presumption of conformity if its product complies with a harmonised standard. In addition, the Union general product safety framework established by Regulation (EU) 2023/988 establishes, under certain conditions, a mechanism of presumption of conformity with the general safety requirement where a product complies with relevant European standards, the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. However, in cases where such standards do not exist or compliance with them might be rendered excessively difficult by the disruptions caused by the crisis, it is appropriate to provide for alternative crisis-response mechanisms.
