Market surveillance protects consumers from unsafe and non-compliant products. During inspections, authorities verify that products placed on the market meet applicable technical regulations — and the first thing they examine is documentation: certificates of conformity, test reports and product markings.
For businesses, holding a valid certificate issued by an accredited conformity assessment body substantially simplifies these interactions. It provides objective evidence of compliance and reduces the risk of administrative measures, sales restrictions or product recalls.
Consumers benefit as well: certification marks help distinguish products whose safety and electromagnetic compatibility have been verified by an independent third party.
