The reference of a new harmonised standard EN ISO 19085-2:2017 covering the same products was, published on 9 March 2018 in the Official Journal of the European Union by Commission Communication 2018/C 092/01., Given that superseded harmonised standard EN 1870-13:2007+A2:2012 has become obsolete. However, no date of cessation of presumption of conformity in the Official Journal of the European Union was provided for harmonised standard EN 1870-13:2007+A2:2012. Harmonised standard EN 1870-13:2007+A2:2012 should therefore be it is appropriate to withdrawn that standard from the Official Journal of European Union. In order to give manufacturers sufficient time to prepare for application of the standard EN ISO 19085-2:2017, it is necessary to defer the withdrawal of the reference of standard EN 1870-13:2007+A2:2012.\n(6)\nImplementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nRecital 14 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 erroneously states that harmonised standard EN ISO 12100:2010 should be withdrawn. For reasons of clarity that error should be corrected, deleting the reference to harmonised standard EN ISO 12100:2010 from that recital.\n(8)\nImplementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 withdrew references of several harmonised standards from the Official Journal of the European Union as of 19 March 2019. Given that the date of withdrawal will be extended, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication. It is also appropriate to provide that the amendment extending the dates of withdrawal set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/436 applies from 19 March 2019,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
