How does CE Marking
affect the export to Europe?
If the new product directives apply to your products and you want to
continue to export to the European market (or introduce new products),
then CE Marking will be crucial to your success.
It is NOT unusual nowadays that
non-EU manufacturers and exporters have had their product(s) seized by customs officials in the European Union at the worst or returned to them because they do not have the CE marking affixed to the product(s).
The CE Marking can be, at the same time, of both benefits and disadvantages. |
Benefits:
- With this "passport" your products can easily gain access to the entire European Union (EU) plus European Free Trade Association (EFTA) market.
- There will be only one set of laws and regulations for the
entire marketplace which guide the designing, manufacturing and labeling
of products. The multiple and conflicting national restrictions on
regulated products will be eliminated. Thus the CE Marking on your product will make your trade with EU countries cheaper and easier.
- Your product will be made safer for consumers and thus the damage
claims and liability premiums will be reduced.
Disadvantages:
- New product directives may exceed the current national laws and
regulations. It may cost a manufacturer extra to modify the currently
existed design and/or production line in order to continue exporting
to or gain access to this huge European market.
- Extra costs in obtaining the product Certificate of Registration for CE Marking and any,
if applicable, required testing certification.
