Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Paragraph 2 now sets a deadline of 21 May 2025 by which the Commission shall act, replacing the earlier open-ended discretionary phrasing that allowed the Commission to establish reference numbers of standards at any time.
The scope of what the Commission establishes is broadened from merely reference numbers of standards to a list of reference standards plus, where necessary, specifications and procedures, and the compliance presumption is correspondingly tied to meeting those standards, specifications and procedures rather than just standards.
