- So far, the 3 newly added harmonised standards have never been published in the Official Journal oft he EU. In the scope of the order M/511 of the European Commission they were created by CEN and CENELEC.
- Error correction: in a former implementing decision the standard EN 62477-1:2012 was listed as successor for the standard EN 50178:1997. As there was no date indicating the termination of conformity, this norm is withdrawn as a harmonised standard within this Implementing Decision with immediate effect.
