presumption of conformity

We would not go further than allowing for the rebuttal of a presumption of conformity.

Manufacturers' products meeting 'harmonised standards' have a presumption of conformity to the Directive.

Usage of the harmonized standards is voluntary and provides presumption of conformity.

Full compliance of a product to the harmonised standards gives a product the presumption of conformity with the relevant essential requirements.

Lastly, the authorities are required to associate products that comply with the harmonised standards with a 'presumption of conformity' with the essential conditions.

Lists of standards that provide a presumption of conformity with the EC Directives for the purposes of CE marking are available from the "New Approach" website.

The GPS Regulations recognise certain technical standards as carrying a presumption of conformity with the general safety requirement, meaning that products that comply with them are deemed to be safe.

The best way to demonstrate that these essential requirements have been met is by meeting the requirements of an applicable 'harmonised standard,' which offer a presumption of conformity to the essential requirements, although the use of standards usually remains voluntary.
