Also known as

In Case C-171/11, the Court addressed the applicability of Article 28 EC concerning the standardisation and certification activities of a private-law body, specifically the Deutsche Vereinigung des Gas- und Wasserfaches eV (DVGW). The Court ruled that national legislation deeming products certified by such a body as compliant with national law can restrict the marketing of non-certified products, thereby engaging the provisions of free movement of goods. The decision underscores the authority of certification bodies in regulating market entry and the implications for compliance with EU law.AI
