Certificates issued by a European notified body are recognized throughout the European Union.

Dear customers, if a conformity assessment body from the CIS offers to obtain a European CE quality certificate for European Union countries, it is worth considering the competence of its staff, as such certificates do not exist.

It is generally accepted practice that any product entering the market must be safe and comply with the requirements of the legislation of that market. Any product entering the EU market must have documentation confirming its compliance. In any country of the world community, a specific industry and production must comply with regulations and international standards, which contributes to universal integration and the development of world trade. The Community has adopted measures that promote international trade in various goods between the Community and third countries. If a third country has a comparable level of technical development and a compatible approach to product safety assessment, the EU concludes agreements on mutual recognition of test reports and product safety compliance with such countries. Such agreements on mutual recognition of test protocols, conformity marks, certificates and declarations promote the development of international trade by reducing the costs of proving conformity. Agreements have currently been signed with Japan, Switzerland, the USA, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which makes it possible to export products with CE marking. Unfortunately, for various reasons, such agreements between the Union and the CIS have not been signed to date, but work in this direction is being carried out by all interested parties.

The Union's legislation on certification procedures with the right to affix the CE mark (CE marking) to products is quite complex and not always understandable to a person who does not have specific knowledge of the procedures. At the same time, the process is quite simple and understandable to specialists from notified bodies.
