Welcome to METECC.

"Only 5%... showed no shortcomings" Are you compliant? We are often asked “Just what are they doing about non-compliant products?” Well, check out: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/dyna/rapex/rapex_archives_en.cfm RAPEX is the EU rapid alert system for all dangerous consumer products, with the exception of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices. It allows for the rapid exchange of information between Member States via central contact points and the Commission of measures taken to prevent or restrict the marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. Every Friday, the Commission publishes a weekly overview which gives you all information on the product, the possible danger and the measures that were taken by the reporting country. Judge for yourselves! |

The current European EMC Directive forces companies to change their approach to EMC testing. This Directive was born out of the SLIM initiative (Simplification of Legislation for the Internal Market), the intention being to reduce the administrative burden, and hence cost, on companies attempting to steer their products through the CE minefield. Click here to view and download The European Commission Guide to the new EMC Directive.
The Directive saw the role of competent bodies change radically. Emphasis on “Full Compliance Testing” faded away and more responsibility now rests on the manufacturers' self-certification process. This self-certification process benefits from its integration into a company's quality system, in a similar way to that advocated by the R&TTE directive in Annex V (referred to in Article 10 "Full Quality Assurance"). Inevitably this means that companies need to control their EMC documentation much more rigorously.
Critically, companies must now create and maintain a comprehensive structured Technical File detailing every product they make including EMC and LVD test data. METECC takes this load off you with our expert consultants working with you to reduce the risk of non-compliance.
For details of EU requirements for certification see this document (pdf),
After more than fifteen years' EMC testing and heavy involvement in the R&TTE legislative process, including the writing of European Standards for testing, METECC can provide a full-service for your EMC and LVD needs.
