Some Union harmonisation legislation (202) which relies on harmonised standards provides for certain alternatives or complementary means to harmonised standards for demonstrating compliance of a product or a service. Some of these alternatives are mandatory (203) while others provide a presumption of conformity in a similar manner as harmonised standards (204). As a rule, these alternatives are foreseen as a fall-back option mainly for situations where harmonised standards do not exist (yet) and harmonised standards remain the preferred option.
