Under the New Approach Directives issued by the European Union, products are grouped according to their degree of risk. The risk group of a product is explained in the relevant directives, depending on whether it is low risk or high risk. If you are hesitant about the degree of risk of a product, the risk group of the product can be determined according to the results of the work done by the testing and inspection institutions or laboratories.
If a product type does not pose a risk to human health, life and property safety and environmental conditions, it is considered to be low risk. Conformity assessment studies of these products are carried out by the manufacturer and it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to affix the CE mark on the products. Nevertheless, these firms may apply to a testing and inspection organization or a laboratory to determine whether their products comply with the relevant directive.
However, if the products carry a high risk in terms of human health, life and property safety and environmental conditions, then manufacturers must apply to a notified body. The notified body may be a certification body or an organization or laboratory that provides inspection and testing services. According to the results of this study, the compliance of the product with the relevant directives is determined.
Benefits of Product Quality Certificate or CE Marking
The CE marking is a safety marking placed on products grouped in the New Approach Directives, which must be observed. Products to be sent to the European Union must bear the CE mark. The CE mark is the Product Quality Certificate for that product. Within the scope of CE marking, manufacturers must prepare a technical dossier and keep all necessary information and documents in this dossier.
The Product Quality Certificate or CE mark indicates that the products comply with the relevant directives and legal regulations. The CE marking to be placed on the products creates a serious competitive advantage for the company in domestic and international markets and strengthens the image of the company. Reliable and healthy products are offered to the market. In this way, consumer rights and interests are protected. At the same time, manufacturing companies have the opportunity to expand to world markets.
