Harmonised standards

[HDNTPB]

Are the EN standards the only harmonised standards, what about DIN standards, AD merkblatter, British standard,... My question is can we consider that all standards coming from an European country are harmonised standards or not?
Thanks in advance

The answer is no. Not all standards from any European country are harmonized standards

Do you know where i can find which standards (DIN, BS AD) are harmonised standards and which not, because when i go on the official PED web site they only talk about EN standards as harmonised standards. I heared that AD merkblatt is also a harmonised standard but i cannot find any evidence.
Thanks in advance

See

for info about Harmonised standards.
AD-Merkblatt is a German vessel Code , not a standard.

Not all standards that have the prefixes indicated in the posts above meet the definition of harmonised used by some Directives. For many Directives, there is an list published in the Official Journal, called "Commission Communication in the framework of the implementation [of] [Directive name]". For example, the 2004 lists for the machinery and pressure equipment directives are at

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2004/c_095/c_09520040420en00020031.pdf

and

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2004/c_115/c_11520040430en00250026.pdf,

respectively. Only the standards referenced in the list in the official journal are presumped to ensure that anything that conforms to them will comply with the corresponding requirements of the Directive.
