Basic information
To avoid creating technical barriers to trade in the EU internal market, the European Commission has set up an information system on Member States' technical regulations for products (industrial and agricultural) and information society services.
Directive 2015/1535/EU requires Member States to notify draft technical regulations before they are adopted. This is followed by a three-month grace period during which the European Commission and other Member States can comment on the proposal. A Member State may not approve a draft technical regulation before the expiry of this period.
In order to present the purpose of Directive 2015/1535/EU to all stakeholders, in particular SMEs, in a simple and illustrative way, the European Commission has produced a video which is available at the link below:
There is a single point of contact for Directive 2015/1535/EU in each Member State to ensure compliance with the obligations under this Directive.
The contact point in the Czech Republic is:
