According to the New Approach to the European Union, which has been implemented since 1985, the minimum security requirements of the products have been harmonized by the member countries. The detailed technical rules for these products are prepared by:
- European Committee for Standardization
- European Committee on Electronic Standardization
- European Telecommunications Standards Institute
New Approach programIn addition to the harmonization of the technical legislation with the prepared directives, it has also determined the minimum safety conditions of the products, the test methods and the technical working methods of the organizations providing conformity assessment services.
The New Approach Directives define the purpose and scope of product groups. There are also a number of issues such as the control of internal production, preparation of technical files, safety conditions, market supervision and prevention of placing on the market, coercive safety rules, standards and standards. At the same time, the New Approach directives include the use of the CE marking on the products, the scope of the CE marking, and the working patterns of the conformity assessment bodies.
Avrupa Birliği then, in the 1989, the Global Approach in 1990, in order to support the system, is not enough to ensure compliance with technical regulations, Modular Approach and determined the testing and conformity assessment processes of the products.
The Global Approach has aimed at mutual recognition and recognition of testing, inspection and certification and has left the conformity assessment of the products to the notified bodies.
The modular approach is based on the characteristics of the products and the risk levels they carry conformity assessment methods. These modules are from A to H with eight.
Obligation to put CE label on the products, New Approach Directives applies to all products covered by this product. From this perspective,
- To all new products produced in a country outside the EU
- Used products imported from a country other than the European Union

Although the system appears complex CE label The answer to why is necessary is quite simple. The target is only human health, animal and plant health, life and property safety and the protection of the environment and consumer.
Major product groups covered by the New Approach Directives, low-voltage devices, pressure equipment, simple pressure vessels, toys, electromagnetic compatibility, radio and telecommunications terminal equipment, machines, freezers, construction materials, personal protection equipment, vehicles moving on cable for passenger transport , elevators, non-automatic weighing instruments, medical devices, medical devices placed in the body, in vitro medical diagnostic devices, new hot water boilers, gas burning vehicles, explosives for civil use, equipment used in explosive environments, noise from environment, It includes products like purpose boats.
The TÜRCERT certification body does not only carry out certification works, but also provides technical services such as various inspection and test work. For this reason, if you want to learn more about why the CE label is required, the experienced managers and employees of the TÜRCERT certification body will always be there for you.
