Abstract: The rise of technical standardization is a global phenomenon that has been particularly successful in the European Union. In the internal market, the ?new approach? harmonization strategy initiated in the 1980s in the wake of the Cassis de Dijon case has placed technical standardization at the heart of the free movement of goods and has rapidly achieved a clear success, which continues to this day. After an explanation of the conditions under which these European technical standards are produced and implemented, this contribution intends to address the question of the justiciability of these standards in the light of the recent evolution of case-law that they have undergone with the James Elliott (C-613/14) and Anstar (C-630/16) judgments and draw conclusions on the basis of the concept of ?competing norms.?
