6. Legal value of a technical standard
Product standards are sometimes made compulsory for safety purposes, or are increasingly taken as a reference for product safety. The same applies to services.
The legal value of a technical standard can be considered in four different ways:
1. the standard may be made mandatory by a regulatory provision;
2. non-mandatory, its application is de facto mandatory;
3. a contract or contractual provision makes it mandatory;
4. non-mandatory, it can be assimilated to the rules of the trade.
