A feature of the New Approach Directives is to bring closer the legal order of the member states to remove barriers to trade. As directives require collective alignment, Member States are required to abolish or align their legal regulations that conflict with these directives. In addition, it is not possible for member states to continue or to adopt more stringent measures than the criteria set out in the relevant directive. As a result, these directives are binding on the member states.

Compliance with the Directives Member States themselves decide which legal arrangements to adopt. However, it is accepted as a violation of the law if the member states did not make the necessary harmonization arrangements within the specified period.

New Approach DirectivesAre recognized as directives requiring CE marking. However, there are also directives prepared according to the New Approach or Global Approach principles that do not require CE marking.

The European Union, on the one hand, creates the possibility of customs union and sebest movement between its member countries in this way, and on the other hand wants the products to be sent to the union to comply with the provisions determined in this way. CE label A product that does not carry the product cannot be offered to the European Union market, or products bearing the CE label which later proved not to meet the required technical requirements may be collected from the market.

With these features, if the manufacturers can put the CE label on their products, it proves that this product is a healthy and reliable product not only in the countries of the union but also in all over the world. This alone strengthens the market image of the manufacturer and provides a competitive advantage.

On the product CE markingSince it is an indicator of compliance with the New Approach Directives, the manufacturer has no problems in introducing these products to the union markets. Generally speaking, the CE marking is regarded as the passport of the product.

However, there is a false perception among people that CE marked products are quality products. In fact, the CE marking is considered to be a guarantee for the product. The presence of the CE label on the product indicates that the product is safe for human and living beings in terms of safety of life and property, but it is not an indication of the quality of that product. This means that a product may be manufactured in compliance with the safety criteria and the technical requirements of the relevant directive, but the material may not be of good quality as the material used is not of good quality. At this point, if the quality standards during production are specified as a technical requirement in the directive, the product will naturally be of good quality.
