Our country has started to see the effects of this in different fields and in different ways after entering the Customs Union which is a very important step in the EU accession studies. Nevertheless, the most affected sector was the industrial sector. In the European Union, the standard practices introduced for the production of a large part of industrial goods included production activities in our country. Although this decreases the production speed, these standards are aimed at protecting human and animal health as well as protecting the environment. But consumer protection In addition to its efforts, it is extremely important for manufacturers to increase above the standards, to reveal the products of the future and to create a competitive advantage as the quality of the products increases. The competitiveness of the companies is increasing and its continuity is ensured.
The main feature of the European Union is the free movement of products. In order to achieve this, the obstacles in trade, identification of mutual recognition principles and technical harmonization studies are carried out. CE compliance is also included in these compliance studies.
Our country entered into force in 1996 Customs union agreement, established a customs union with the European Union covering industrial products. Implemented by the European Union in 1985 New Approach programis a system between the Calcial Approach program which requires collective harmonization and the understanding of full freedom based on the recognition of each other's legal regulations in trade.
In the New Approach program, similar products are divided into specific groups and grouped into a single group. In this way, a technical document was prepared, basic requirements were determined and human health, animal and plant health, safety of life and property, protection of the environment and consumers were adopted. The directives prepared in this way were requested to be harmonized by the member states.
Looking at the basic principles of the New Approach program, it will be clear what the CE Certificate can add to an organization.
For one thing, the New Approach Directives' compliance with legal regulations covers only the basic requirements of the products to be circulated in free circulation. The basic characteristics of the products described in these directives are included in the criteria and standards determined by the legal regulations issued. However, manufacturers do not have to apply these harmonized standards or other standards. Manufacturers can always refer to other technical documents. If a product is manufactured in accordance with harmonized standards, basic requirements fulfilled.
In this way, the manufacturers themselves, in low-risk products themselves, according to the decision of a notified body in high-risk products, put into their products CE label will gain a significant competitive advantage.
The TÜRCERT certification organization not only carries out certification activities, but also provides technical services such as various inspection and testing activities. Therefore, if you want to get more information about what the CE label is and what it can add to an organization, experienced managers and employees of the TÜRCERT certification body will always be there for you.
