The relevant essential or other legal requirements aimed to be covered are usually indicated in a separate informative annex (187) to a harmonised standard. When essential requirements are covered only partially, it should be clearly indicated in the standard. In some cases the scope of a harmonised standard may also indicate the relevant requirements with sufficient clarity (e.g. when there is a clear reference to covered safety related risks). This information on the ‘aimed coverage of essential or other requirements’ given in a harmonised standard thereby determines the scope and the limits of the so-called ‘presumption of conformity with legal requirements’.
