1. In addition to the presumption of conformity laid down in Article 7 of this Regulation, where severe disruptions to the functioning of the internal market, which were taken into consideration when the internal market emergency mode was activated in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2024/2747, significantly restrict the possibilities for manufacturers to make use of relevant European standards the references of which have already been published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, the presumption of conformity with the general safety requirement laid down in Article 5 may also be established for the purpose of placing products on the market if the product conforms to national requirements as regards the risks and risk categories covered by health and safety requirements laid down in the national law of the Member State in which the product is made available on the market, provided that such law is in compliance with Union law.
2. In addition to the cases where the presumption of conformity with the general safety requirement laid down in Article 5 of this Regulation applies under paragraph 1 of this Article and Article 7(1) of this Regulation, Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that, for the purpose of placing or making available of products on the market, their competent authorities consider that products which comply with relevant European standards other than those the references of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 10(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, with relevant international standards developed by a recognised international standardisation body as defined in Article 2(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, or with relevant national standards developed by a national standardisation body as defined in Article 2(10) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, are presumed to meet the general safety requirement laid down in this Regulation as far as the risks and risk categories covered by those standards are concerned, unless such standards are not adequate in view of the other elements of Articles 6 and 8 of this Regulation.
3. Article 7(3) applies to the presumption of conformity established in accordance with this Article.
