4.3.3 European Standards (ENs) are used to help prove conformance of a product to the PPE directive. To use a European Standard straightforwardly as a route to conformance to the directive, the standard has be what is known as harmonised. This means it has been formally confirmed that the standard meets the requirements of the basic health and safety requirements of Annex II of the directive, and that it has been referenced in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). If a product conforms to a harmonized European Standard, there is a presumption of conformity with the PPE directive, in terms of meeting the basic health and safety requirements of Annex II. Assuming other requirements of the directive have been satisfied, this then allows the equipment to be marked with the symbol CE and other marking.
