| Why conformity assessment in madatory area |
Every organization placing on the market and/or putting into service products within the mandatory area (Annex 1 of the Law 608/2001) should:
| |
identify the European Directives of the New Approach transposed in the national legislation by technical regulations applicable to its products; |
| |
|
| |
identify the applicable conformity assessment procedure (self-declaration of conformity, involvement of a designated body for the assessment of testing, inspection or quality management system or a combination thereof); |
| |
|
| |
to determine the dates by which it has to take action; |
| |
|
| |
to identify the Harmonized European Standards applicable to its products; |
| |
|
| |
to ensure the products comply with the standards and all the essential requirements of the applicable Directive(s); |
| |
|
| |
to affix the CE marking on the products and/or their packaging or accompanying documentation, as provided. |
The technical regulations, transposing at national level the New Approach Directives, provide for a range of compliance routes for your products and present, usually in a modular format, the available procedures for conformity assessment.
In many cases, the conformity assessment of the products within the scope of the mandatory area require the involvement of a designated (notified) body, as set forth in the Law 608/2001 and the applicable technical regulations.
