All companies that sell products on the European market must be able to demonstrate that the products meet applicable EU requirements. CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration to the authorities that the product meets all the requirements placed on it by the relevant Directives. The consequence of not having full control of their CE marking can be costly, especially if there is an incident with the product or if the product fails a market surveillance by the responsible authority.
A distinct but similar set of requirements now exists for the GB market under the new UKCA marking.
This course seeks to provide you with the information and skills to understand CE Marking and UKCA marking Essentials and enable you to comply with a range of Directives and Regulations, along with covering other product legislation. It is aimed at companies who manufacture, import or distribute products for sale or use within the European Economic Area.
