European Directives. Many products are covered by these directives and, to be placed on the European and GB market, must bear the CE, UKCA, or UKNI mark - it's a legal requirement.
It is vitally important for companies to make sure that their product technical files and risk analyses are comprehensive, up to date and clearly documented whether products are being sold in the UK or in the EU.
The appropriate marking is the claim that the product meets the essential requirements of all relevant Directives, and can be legally supplied and move freely throughout the EU, GB and NI.
This course is based primarily on the Low Voltage (LV) and Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directives. It provides guidance to compliance and assists participants to determine the route that is most appropriate, cost-effective and efficient for their product. For most companies, the marking is a self-certification process and involves an evaluation of the product or equipment against a relevant standard.
The course will be interactive and participative, with opportunities for discussion.
On completion, participants should:
• Have gained an understanding of the statutory requirements involved;
• Understand technical requirements and interpret compliance standards;
• Understand the CE, UKCA, UKNI marking process and identify the best route to compliance.

It is vitally important for companies to make sure that their product technical files and Declarations of Conformity are comprehensive, up to date and clearly documented whether products are being sold to GB customers or to EU markets.
This seminar is based primarily on the Machinery Directive.

The course will be interactive and participative, with opportunities for discussion. On completion, participants should:
• Have gained an understanding of the statutory requirements involved;
• Understand technical requirements and interpret compliance standards;
• Be able to apply risk assessment techniques relevant to CE and UKCA marking;

Does your company intend to supply mechanical or electro-mechanical machinery and/or electrical and electronic products (including control panels) outside of the EU?
It is vitally important for companies to make sure that their product technical files and risk analyses are comprehensive, up to date and clearly documented whether products are being sold in the UK or in the EU.
Companies trading within the European Union (EU) know that their products require CE Marking - this indicates that the product can be legally supplied and ensures free movement throughout the European market. CE marking is mandated by European Directives, but what about the rest of the world?
This half-day, intensive webinar is aimed at companies looking beyond the EU and will provide up-to-date and relevant information on global standards' requirements for product and component safety.
The webinar will also provide compliance guidelines for key global trading areas and focus on those that are of particular interest to participants attending.
Companies planning to trade or currently trading in the global marketplace will find this seminar extremely useful.
