(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), tests for verifying the conformity of EU fertilising products with the requirements set out in Annexes I, II and III to that Regulation are to be performed in a reliable and reproducible manner. Tests which are in conformity with harmonised standards, the references of which have been published in the

Official Journal of the European Union

, are presumed to be reliable and reproducible to the extent that the tests are covered by those standards.

(2) By Implementing Decision C(2020) 612 (3) the Commission made a request to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) for the drafting of harmonised standards in support of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.

(3) On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2020) 612, CEN drafted two harmonised standards: EN 17816:2023 ‘

Liming materials - Determination of physical and chemical properties and specific contaminants’

and EN 17817:2023 ‘

Fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors. Determination of the quantity (declared by mass or volume)

’.

(4) The Commission, together with CEN, has assessed whether the two standards drafted by CEN comply with the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2020) 612.

(5) The standards satisfy the requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those standards in the

Official Journal of the European Union.

(6) Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the requirement set out in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 from the date of publication of the reference of such standard in the

Official Journal of the European Union

. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication,
