29、s A-deviation: National deviation due to regulations, the alteration of which is for the time being outside the competence of the CENELEC national member. This European Standard falls under Directive 2006/95/EC. NOTE (from CEN/CENELEC IR Part 2:2011, 2.17) Where standards fall under EU Directives, i
30、t is the view of the Commission of the European Communities (OJ No C 59, 1982-03-09) that the effect of the decision of the Court of Justice in case 815/79 Cremonini/Vrankovich (European Court Reports 1980, p. 3583) is that compliance with A-deviations is no longer mandatory and that the free moveme
31、nt of products complying with such a standard should not be restricted except under the safeguard procedure provided for in the relevant Directive. In the relevant CENELEC countries these A-deviations are valid instead of the provisions of the European Standard/Harmonization Document until they have
