Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.

Directive 2013/29/EU covers "Directive 2013/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of pyrotechnic articles (recast)". This legislation has harmonized European standards (hENs) that provide a presumption of conformity with its essential requirements. There are 137 standards associated with this directive.

Harmonized standards under 2013/29/EU are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2013/29/EU, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
