It is under the exclusive competence of the Commission to decide on dates when the references of the superseded harmonised standards are withdrawn from the OJEU. In most common cases a withdrawal date set by the Commission and published in the OJEU allows for a ‘transitional or coexistence period’ during which both the withdrawn (superseded) harmonised standard and the revised (superseding) harmonised standard give a presumption of conformity simultaneously. The ‘transitional or coexistence period’ points to the time period between the date of publication of a reference of a revised harmonised standard in the OJEU and the date of withdrawal from the OJEU of the reference of the superseded harmonised standards.
