Why CE Marking?

Since the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1946, the community of European states have been continued to pursue the establishment of an internal market in Europe.

In this 'Single Market' a free movement of goods, persons, capital and services would have to be realized.

For a long time, the free movement of goods was frustrated by the fact that the national member states of the European Community were allowed to set national safety and health requirements for products. In practice, the many different technical product requirements and test procedures proved to cause trade barriers between the member states of the European Community, and thus were contrary to the goals of this organization.

Inspired by a series of rulings of the European Court of Justice, the European Commission and Council tried to break down the trade barriers by harmonizing the different national rules.

 
Does my product Require a CE marking?

To answer this question one has to determine where the customers are located and whether the products can be considered to be a part of certain product groups.

The CE Marking is required only in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA).

    • The European Economic Area (EEA) is formed by the
      25 Member States of the European Union (EU), viz:
    • Austria (became member in 1995)

Is IQMS a Notified body?

No, we are not a notified body. The main reason for this is that when Notified Bodies test products they are not permitted to provide any design assistance relating to the product. By not being a Notified Body, IQMS can give its clients a much more comprehensive service in this regard. It cannot, however, perform the role of a Notified Body and so sub-contracts any such work as required. We have tie-up with different notified bodies.

The inputs includes :-
