DeclarationUnion harmonisation legislation
These regulations are based on jointly developed principles, such as the modular system for conformity assessment and the economic operator role model. Harmonised standards support the presumption of conformity.
For companies, a legal act and standards map that outlines the product portfolio, roles, and evidence is highly beneficial. This approach ensures that requirements are efficiently integrated into development, purchasing, manufacturing, and after-sales.
