The three-year transition period ended in July 2006. When manufacturers are active in the world market, the focus on global or international standards (e.g., ISO) is not only advantageous - it may be stipulated by certain countries. For example, Canada requires that medical device manufacturers marketing their products in Canada must have a quality system certified to ISO 13485:2003.

The harmonised european norms (hens) are standards adopted by the comit europen de normalisation' (cen) who represents all the national standards bodies, following a mandate issued by the european commission. They are developed through an open and transparent process, built on consensus between all interested parties. The standards have been established to remove technical barriers to trade for construction products. A unique standard exists for the major glass types/groups. These standards have superseded previous national standards. the ce mark has been around for more than 15 years, but most people still don't know what it stands for and many think it means that a product was made in europe. The information campaign also targets businesses. Not only does the mark improve user safety, it was also set up to ease the free movement of goods throughout the eu's large market. As a mark of confidence, the ce logo is a passport that allows products to circulate unhindered throughout the european economic area (the 27 eu countries plus iceland, liechenstein and norway). This cuts both red tape and costs, while ensuring safety requirements. By affixing the ce mark on a product, the manufacturer takes full responsibility for its conformity with eu law. More than 30% of industrial products - including computers, toys and electrical appliances - can be sold on the eu market only if they bear the mark. unfortunately, there is no comprehensive list of the products that require a ce marking. Therefore, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to determine if a product requires a ce marking. The "new approach directives" are documents that contain the legislation issued by the european commission on the requirements that need to be met and procedures that must be followed in order for a particular product to be ce marked for sales in the eu. In order to determine if your product needs a ce marking, you should look in each directive that you judge as related to your product. Our guide to navigating the ce marking process is organized by directives: ce marking guide. Under each directive, we explain the route to ce marking certification step-by-step and in one place. Some products require conformance to more than one directive. For example, the safety of machinery directive, the electromagnetic compatibility (emc) directive, and the low voltage equipment directive may all apply to one product.
