Europe puts its mark on U.S. product safety / by Sandy Graham
Sumario: Currently, there's a short list of product sectors in which the CE mark is mandatory for an item to be sold in the EU. About two years ago toys became the first group of products the EU registered and simple pressure vessels used in manufacturing followed. As of January 1, 1995, machinery and personal protective equipment must have the CE mark to be sold in the EU. The Europeans call their new standards-setting approach "harmonization". The goal is to have the dozen countries of the EU singing the same song about product standards, which will make Europe a more attractive market to foreign manufacturers
