General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 95/46/EC covers "Protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data". There are 8 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 95/46/EC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 95/46/EC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
