With regard to H&S, the EU will issue Directives on various issues that set out what the overall aims are.
Each member country then has to produce the legal instruments (usually Regulations in the UK) that incorporate the aims of the Directive into the legal framework of that country. For Germany therefore there should be the equivalent of our Regulations that cover, for example, Manual Handling, PPE etc.
With regard to archaeological standards I am not aware of any EU Directive that addresses this issu. There are various international Conventions (e.g. Valetta) but these are not legally binding on EU member states, only on those that sign up to them.
