I was not trying to ridicule the regulation. I was trying to understand what exactly it meant.

On that EUR-Lex page, I could not find references to penalties, rights to sell, etc. So I am not clear just what effect such standards have in practice.

I guess they are are just "guidelines" then.

Cynicism is intellectual treason.

guidelines (none / 0)

by guidelines, i mean suggestions as to what standards producers should aspire to, not legal or regulatory requirements that have to be met for sale.

Re: guidelines (4.00 / 2)

It can work via the purchasers: if there is an EU standard, purchasers will simply make it a requirement ("want X amount of Y fulfilling EN 12366...").
