Po posvetovanju z odborom, ustanovljenim z Direktivo 98/34/ES, in preučitvi usklajenega standarda EN 13431:2000, je Komisija lahko potrdila, da ta standard ne ustreza popolnoma temeljnim zahtevam Direktive 94/62/ES, določenim v Prilogi II(3b) k tej direktivi, po minimalni nižji toplotni vrednosti, ki bi omogočila optimizacijo po ponovnem pridobivanju energije.
After consulting the committee created by Directive 98/ 34/EC and examining harmonised standard EN 13431:2000, the Commission was able to ascertain that this standard does not fully meet the essential requirements of the Directive, as specified in Annex II(3b) to Directive 94/62/EC, for a minimum lower calorific value to allow optimisation of energy recovery.
