A clear distinction must be made between ‘conformity with a standard’ and ‘presumption of conformity (when applying (188) a harmonised standard)’. ‘Conformity with a standard’ usually makes a reference to a situation where a standard is ‘fully applied’. This is for instance the case of voluntary certification against a standard. For the purposes of ‘presumption of conformity’ it is sufficient to apply only those provisions relating to the essential or other legal requirements aimed to be covered.
