Publication and presumption of conformity
Publication by CEN-CENELEC does not itself confer a presumption of conformity. Any such presumption must be assessed against the applicable legal provisions and the actual reference published in the Official Journal, including its scope and restrictions. Annex ZA identifies the correspondence between standard clauses and legal requirements; it is not a standalone guarantee of compliance.
