art_11__para_1
1. This Regulation, and the harmonised technical specifications adopted in accordance with it, together, establish a ‘harmonised zone’. The harmonised zone covers all products subject to harmonised technical specifications. Harmonised technical specifications shall be presumed to be comprehensive, in the following respects: laying down all essential characteristics and their assessment methods; specifying all product requirements other than those covered by other Union law; and determining the applicable assessment and verification systems. Harmonised technical specifications for new products shall apply to used products from third countries unless the harmonised technical specification explicitly provides rules for used products.
