    Know before usingThe Commission says its consolidated summary is informational and may not be complete at every moment; legal effect comes from Official Journal publications. A listed reference does not select the standard for a product, reproduce licensed technical content, cover every essential requirement, prove conformity, or authorize a performance class or CE mark. Recheck the current OJEU publication, obtain the correct controlled standard, and document product-specific coverage and evidence.
