Harmonized Standards Directive

The Harmonized Standards Directive is a set of technical rules established by recognized European standards, ensuring that products meet safety, health, and environmental requirements within the EU. When a product complies with these harmonized standards, it facilitates gaining CE marking, indicating conformity with EU laws. This helps manufacturers demonstrate their products are safe and suitable for the European market, reducing barriers to trade while maintaining high safety and quality levels. Essentially, it's a common technical framework that supports consistent, reliable product standards across European countries.
