Euralarm Position Paper on call for evidence on Standardisation Regulation

Euralarm agrees with the observations described in the call for evidence and puts forward concrete proposals that should help solving the issues without changes to the Standardisation Regulation. These proposals are addressed not only to the European Commission but also to the three existing ESOs and the Market Surveillance Authorities. 

In case the European Commission pursues with the idea of revising the Regulation:

• the changes should have a proven impact on streamlining the standardisation process without lowering the technical quality of the deliverables;
• in particular, the harmonised standards used in our fire safety and security sector are technically very strong and ensure safety and security of the European citizens; they should not be diluted by high-level requirements in Common Specifications, to satisfy legal needs.

We are available for further discussion of these proposals.
