It legally mandated that if someone claims by omission that the screen meets the ISO standard Class 1 and it does not because there are pixel defects then they are misrepresenting what they are selling and are breaking EU law.

AFAIK, there is no legal requirement in the UK to manufacture or sell LCDs to ISO 13406-2. There is no 'claim by omission' if the standard is not referred to in any way.

The standard itself states that a product is Class 1 compliant unless clearly stated otherwise.

Yes - that's fairly normal for standards which contain classes within it - to make it clear what the assumptions are.

The spec says:

"7.20 Pixel faults
Flat panel displays should be in fault class, ClassPixel I (refer to 3.4.13 pixels faults). If not, the supplier shall specify
ClassPixel of the display."

It also states:

"8.2.3 Supplier declared data
The following data shall be declared in the user’s manual (or equivalent) and in detail product specifications:

....
l) If the display does not conform with pixel fault class I:
 pixel fault class, ClassPixel I, II, III or IV (see 7.20 Pixel faults)."


But it would be highly unusual for a standard itself to make legal claims within it. It's up the laws of the individual countries to decide which ISO standards are mandatory for items on sale.

Remember, ISO specs are international (so not just for the EU). If that spec stated the all displays must meet that standard, they're effectively shoe-horning that spec into the law of each and every country by the back door. I very much doubt that is possible.

What is possible is for each country (eg. EU/UK) to state that it is mandatory. And I've not heard that being the case.
