On April 27, 2026, the European Commission has updated and consolidated the list of harmonised standards for certain consumer products under the EU General Product Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/988).

The standards that are harmonised under the EU General Product Safety Directive are now harmonised under the EU General Product Safety Regulation.

In addition, according to the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/901, the following standards are updated in the list of harmonised standards:
