The European Union has adopted a new Directive on the transportable pressure equipment (1) and Switzerland has amended its legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions deemed equivalent under Article 1(2) of the Agreement to the above mentioned European Union legislation;

(2)

Chapter 6, Pressure vessels, of Annex 1 should be amended to reflect these developments;

(3)

(5)

Chapter 16, Construction products, of Annex 1 should be amended, in a first step, to reflect the adoption of the Construction Products Regulation by the European Union, and, until the adoption of Swiss equivalent legislation, to enable the Parties during an interim period to grant mutual acceptance of conformity assessment results showing compliance with the Construction Products Regulation; once Swiss legislation equivalent with the Construction Products Regulation is adopted, the Parties shall replace this amendment with a subsequent one reflecting the adoption of both the Construction Products Regulation and the revised equivalent Swiss legislation. It is understood that this decision is meant to ensure continuity in the activities of conformity assessment bodies during this interim period, and is without prejudice to the application of the principles of Article 1 of the Agreement;
