Recital 20

(20) With respect to Regulations (EU) 2016/424, (EU) 2016/425, (EU) 2016/426 and (EU) 2023/1230, the competent national authorities should be able to presume that products manufactured in accordance with European standards, relevant applicable national standards of the Member States, or relevant applicable international standards developed by a recognised international standardisation body, identified by the Commission as suitable to reach conformity and ensuring an equivalent level of protection to that offered by the harmonised standards, comply with the relevant and applicable essential requirements. Products placed on the market on the basis of the presumption of conformity established via the emergency mechanism established by this Regulation should not be withdrawn automatically when the implementing act listing the European or the relevant applicable national or international standards ceases to apply. In cases where there are concerns regarding the compliance of a harmonised product that has been designated as a crisis-relevant good and placed on the market during an internal market emergency mode on the basis of a presumption of conformity established via such implementing act, the market surveillance authorities should be able to take all the necessary corrective and restrictive actions at national level provided for under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and under the respective sectorial legislation. After such implementing act ceases to apply, compliance with the European or the relevant applicable national or international standards should no longer provide a presumption of conformity with the relevant and applicable essential requirements.
