The European Union's 'New Approach Directives' are mandatory on all member countries to enact through national legislation. This legislation requires manufacturers to display CE Marking on their products, packaging and accompanying literature. The manufacturer is legally responsible for ensuring that the product confirms to the requirements of the directive and for applying CE Marking.
We will identify each and every directive which your product is required to meet and explain what is required from each directive.
As required by certain Directives (i.e. Mechanical Directive etc) we will conduct and document a full product Risk Assessment based specifically on the requirements of the directive.
Under each Directive there are a multitude of standards relating to specific types of either whole products, elements of products or process. Identifying and applying correctly the standards which relate to a given product is key to ensuring a product is in total conformity.
By-and-large all electronic and electrical products must be EMC tested to confirm that they meet the requirements of the EMC Directive.
The EMC Directive aims to; (a) Prevent electromagnetic disturbances produced by one piece of electrical/electronic equipment from interfering with other electrical equipment or telecommunications networks, and (b) Ensure that electrical/electronic equipment has sufficient immunity to electromagnetic disturbances to enable them to operate as intended.
All CE marking directives require the manufacturer of the product to create a technical file which should contain the information required to show that the product properly complies with the requirements of the directives which apply to it. We will compile the Technical File for your product.
The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is basically a piece of paper which someone has to sign to say that the product meets the requirements of the Directive. We will compile your DoC for you to sign to say that your product meets the requirements of the applicable directives to your product.
