Language of the case: French
Applicant: Syndicat Uniclima
Defendant: Ministre de l’Intérieur
1.Does the harmonisation required by Directive 2006/42/EC, Directive 2014/35/EU and Directive 2014/68/EU permit Member States to lay down safety requirements for the equipment governed by those directives, and if so under what conditions and within what limits, where those requirements do not entail any modification of equipment that is, as attested by the affixing of the ‘CE marking’, in conformity with the requirements of those directives?
2.Does the harmonisation required by them permit Member States to lay down, solely for use of that equipment in premises open to the public and in the light of specific fire safety risks, safety requirements which may entail the modification of equipment that, as attested by the affixing of the ‘CE marking’, is nevertheless in conformity with the requirements of those directives?
3.If the preceding question is answered in the negative, can it be answered in the affirmative if the safety requirements in question apply only where that equipment uses flammable refrigerants as alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases, in accordance with the objectives set out in Regulation No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, and, in addition, relate only to equipment which, although in conformity with the requirements of those directives, does not, having regard to the fire risk from the use of flammable refrigerants, offer the protection of being hermetically sealed?
