BESA-S28 · Edition 1.0How to use a schedule
Each schedule defines a product boundary, core characteristics and evidence questions. It is read with the programme method. A characteristic is eligible for comparison only where a relevant European standard or European legal requirement supplies an applicable, comparable benchmark. A catalogue match, test-method title or desirable feature is not a benchmark by itself.
The applicant proposes the standards, editions, clauses and claimed margins. IESQ records the applicable baseline and core comparison before technical review. It considers the complete required evidence, including results that do not support the claim.
Products crossing category boundaries
A connected appliance may combine appliance, radio and battery requirements; protective footwear may combine material and PPE requirements. Describe the complete product and its intended use. The assessment scope follows the functions and hazards, rather than the category with the easiest comparison.
The schedules are routes for evidence review, not a statement that every listed reference supplies an Award threshold or that every product in a group qualifies.
