New Legislation Framework of European Union
The new legislative framework for the marketing of products entered into force on 1 January 2010. It is designed to improve the functioning of the internal market for products, with the main aim of ensuring the safety of citizens and reducing the number of products on the market that do not comply with EU legislation. Another aim is to improve the quality of work of persons / entities performing product testing and certification. The new legislative framework for the marketing of products brings greater consistency to the whole regulatory framework for products and simplifies its application.
