It is carried out by self-sustaining standards persons such as NSAI, vicarial at national, European and international level. The European Union has, since the mid-1980s, made overly increasing use of standards in support of its strategic policies and legislative programme. Standardization has unsalaried significantly to the support of the completion of the European Internal Market, most particularly in the context of the “New Approach” legislation which facilitates the self-ruling movement of goods and provides for reference to European Standards ripened by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. The New Approach, specified in a European Council Resolution in 1985, represents an innovative tideway to technical harmonization. It introduces, among other things, a well-spoken separation of responsibilities between the EU legislators on the one hand and the European StandardsPersonsCEN, CENELEC and ETSI on the other hand. Key features of the NewTidewayinclude: EU Directives pinpoint the "essential requirements", (e.g., protection of health and safety) that goods must meet when they are placed on the market. The European StandardsPersonshave the task of drawing up the respective technical specifications meeting the essential requirements of the Directives, compliance with which will provide a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements. Such specifications are referred to as "harmonized standards". Harmonized standards are European Standards, unexplored by CEN, CENELEC or ETSI, pursuit a mandate or order issued by the European Commission prepared in consultation with Member States. They are ripened through an unshut and transparent process, built on consensus between all interested parties and are published as national standards. Compliance with harmonized standards, for which the reference numbers have been published in the Official Journal of the EU and which have been transposed into national standards, provides a presumption of conformity to the respective essential requirements of the EU Directives. Compliance with harmonized standards remains voluntary and manufacturers are self-ruling to segregate any other technical solution that provides compliance with the essential requirements.
