Definition
Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications. Key families: EN (European), ISO (international), and IEC (electrical engineering).
Why it matters
Harmonised EN standards provide a presumption of conformity: a clearly defined testing path recognised by authorities and platforms.
What you need to do
Identify applicable standards for each product and reference them in the technical documentation. Standard texts are available from DIN or BSI.
