"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 new European EMC directive, which became European law on 20th July 2007, will force 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.

The role of competent bodies has changed radically. Emphasis on “Full Compliance Testing” will gradually fade and more responsibility will rest on the manufacturers' self-certification process. This self-certification process will benefit from 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 will mean that companies will need to control their EMC documentation much more rigorously.
After thirteen years working closely with EMC testing and heavy involvement in the R&TTE legislative process, including the writing of Standards for testing, METECC is here to assist companies with this new age of self-certification.
