• Tools to support Technical Committees to develop harmonized standards under CPR
The common checklist is a basis for ESOs and their Technical Bodies for self-assessment of standards under a standardization request (SReq) to ensure fulfilment of a SReq, EU legislation requirements and other possible European Commission (EC) criteria.
