Howdy! Howdy! Howdy! Happy Friday. It has been well aired that BSMI now has product safety requirements for certain products. Perhaps less aired, but still widely known, BSMI is willing to accept CB Scheme Certificates and Test Reports issued by NCBs that have troubled to register with BSMI. Se

Hello everyone, Does anyone have any good articles or website examples of the penalties for non- conformance for the CE Mark. I especially need examples for EMC violations to use to stress the seriousness and impact to business for some non regulatory people here who need some convincing. Thank

Chris We apply EN61000-1 to our products for electrical safety and use various sizes of markings depending on the size of the product - down to about 8mm diameter on some products and up to about 40mm on others. A safety review of the product should identify whether the label size was appropriate.
