According to Article 14 (Presumption of conformity) of Directive 2013/53/EU on recreational craft and personal watercraft, products which are in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union shall be presumed to be in conformity with the requirements covered by those standards or parts thereof, set out in this Directive.
Genorma.com offers you the updated summary of references, putting together all the information from the European Commission (references of harmonised standards that have been cited in the Official Journal under the Directive) and the information from the Standardisation bodies (CEN and CENELEC). This facilitates that users of the standards can find and obtain RCD harmonised standards, and monitor or track standardisation or legislative developments associated with the Directive 2013/53/EU on recreational craft and personal watercraft, also known as the RCD Directive.
