It is applicable to every stage (i.e. from initial design to final decommissioning) for future -as well as existing- installations, and requires ‘best practices based on a goal-based approach’, as well as ‘high safety standards’. A “Competent Authority” will be in place in each state. 2005 CEN – all rights reserved REGULATIONS (2/2) In 2012, a “Mandate” from European Commission to CEN regarding our portfolio of standards was not accepted by CEN. We expect it will be re-issued this year, either under the form of a revised Mandate, or at the occasion of a revised safety-related Directive. 2005 CEN – all rights reserved Thank you for your attention Chair : [email protected] Secretary : [email protected] 2005 CEN – all rights reserved
