EU Application

Many of the parts of this series have been harmonized by CENELEC CLC/SR 66 "Safety of measuring, control, and laboratory equipment" as EN standards, and almost all of them eventually get published in the Official Journal and receive Presumption of Conformity for the EU Low Voltage Directive, as seen in the lists of harmonised standards (PDF Version).
