This paper describes work funded by Energiforsk to consider the feasibility of using harmonised component level safety demonstration and, in particular, on using aspects of the UK approach to licensing and qualification of smart devices in Finland. We concluded that the use of harmonised component justification is feasible. In shorter timescales, this seems more likely to succeed if such an approach is developed within Finland. Using the assessments performed in the UK in Finland would have several advantages, but there are a number of technical and commercial issues that would need to be overcome for this to be feasible.
