2025 EU: Consolidated lists of standards listed in the OJEU: recently published by the EU

Consolidated lists of standards listed in the OJEU, freshly published by the EU
- light and shade

Since April 2025, the EU has no longer published any new consolidated lists of standards (=standards, hEN) listed in the OJEU. Just as quietly as the service was discontinued, it was resumed in mid-October 2025.

These consolidated lists are a real relief because all standards listed in the OJEU have been compiled in an Excel sheet or PDF file. Although the list is not legally binding, it is very helpful.

Under the following link → Harmonized Standards

for all EU legal acts with the system of listed harmonized standards, the publications on the respective legal acts are published and the consolidated lists are made available.

Usually, a complete list of hENs that trigger the presumption of conformity is published at the start of the legislative act and every few years. In between, there are only gradually publications.

What has changed?

In my opinion, there are two disadvantages in the new listing compared to the old listing.

A) The restrictions used to have their own column. Now they have been integrated into the title, which makes the search more complicated. However, this presentation is identical to the publication in the Official Journal. Therefore, no manual effort, which has sometimes resulted in errors, is necessary when transferring to the EU database.

B) The columns "Date of Start of presumption of Conformity" and "Date of Start of presumption of Conformity with restrictions" and the related columns have been replaced by "Start of legal effect", so that the user must check the title carefully to take into account any restrictions and assess for which part a presumption of conformity exists and for which not.

We are glad that the consolidated lists exist again. The rest must be taken into account accordingly.

We will keep you up to date and will be happy to provide you with further details. Do you have any questions about the lists of standards listed in the OJEU? Simply send us an e-mail with your question or use our contact form.
