COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION(EU) 2025/1793
of 10 September 2025
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2944 as regards harmonised standards for domestic
cooking appliances burning gas, safety and control devices for gas burners and gas burning
appliances, thermoelectric flame supervision devices, gas-fired central heating boilers and automatic

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on
European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC,
95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council(1), and in particular Article 10(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/426 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
appliances and fittings which are in conformity with harmonised standards or parts thereof, the references of which
have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, are to be presumed to be in conformity with the
essential requirements covered by those standards or parts thereof set out in that Regulation.
(2) By Commission Implementing Decision C(2023) 4789(3), the Commission made a request to the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) and to the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization
(CENELEC) for the revision of existing harmonised standards drafted on the basis of standardisation
mandate M/BC/CEN/06-89 of 29 April 1990 to ensure that they continue to reflect the generally acknowledged state
of the art in order to meet the essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Regulation
(EU) 2016/426.
(3) On the basis of the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2023) 4789, CEN revised several existing harmonised
standards. As a result CEN adopted the following revised harmonised standards in support of Regulation
(EU) 2016/426: EN 30-2-1:2024 on domestic cooking appliances burning gas for rational use of energy, EN
88-2:2022+A1:2024 and EN 88-3:2022+A1:2024 for safety and control devices for gas burners and gas burning
appliances, EN 125:2022+A1:2024 on thermoelectric flame supervision devices for gas burning appliances, EN
15502-2-2:2024 on gas-fired central heating boilers for type B1 appliances, and EN 16304:2022+A1:2024 on
automatic vent valves for gas burners and gas burning appliances.
(4) The Commission, together with CEN, has assessed whether EN 30-2-1:2024, EN 88-2:2022+A1:2024, EN
88-3:2022+A1:2024, EN 125:2022+A1:2024, EN 15502-2-2:2024 and EN 16304:2022+A1:2024 comply with
the request set out in Implementing Decision C(2023) 4789.
(1) OJ L 316, 14.11.2012, p. 12, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2012/1025/oj.
(2) Regulation (EU) 2016/426 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on appliances burning gaseous fuels and
repealing Directive 2009/142/EC (OJ L 81, 31.3.2016, p. 99, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/426/oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Decision C(2023)4789 of 20 July 2023 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for
Standardization and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization as regards gas appliances and fittings in support of
Regulation (EU) 2016/426 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

(5) The following harmonised standards satisfy the essential requirements which they aim to cover and which are set out
in Regulation (EU) 2016/426: EN 30-2-1:2024, EN 88-2:2022+A1:2024, EN 88-3:2022+A1:2024, EN 125:2022
+A1:2024, EN 15502-2-2:2024 and EN 16304:2022+A1:2024. It is therefore appropriate to publish the references
of those harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(6) In addition, CEN issued a correction to the harmonised standard EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023 on a specific
standard for gas-fired central heating boilers for type C appliances and type B2, B3 and B5 appliances of a nominal
heat input not exceeding 1 000 kW, the reference of which is published in the Official Journal of the European Union
by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2944(4). This resulted in harmonised standard EN
15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023 as corrected by EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023/AC:2024. The correction EN
15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023/AC:2024 is indispensable for the correct application of EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023
as a harmonised standard. It is therefore appropriate to publish the reference of EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023 as
corrected by EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023/AC:2024 in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2944 provides the references of harmonised standards conferring a
presumption of conformity with Regulation (EU) 2016/426. In order to ensure that the references of harmonised
standards drafted in support of Regulation (EU) 2016/426 are listed in one act, the references of those standards and
of a correction to EN 15502-2-1:2022+A1:2023 should be included in that Annex.
(8) Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2944 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) Compliance with a harmonised standard confers a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential
requirements set out in Union harmonisation legislation from the date of publication of the reference of such
standard in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision should therefore enter into force on the day of its
publication,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2944 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
