EMC/Electromagnetic compatibility: Please note that standards have been updated

On 3 November 2020, the EU Commission updated the standards harmonised under the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. New extensions to standards now apply in particular to industrial, scientific and medical equipment, household appliances, power tools and similar instruments, electrical lighting equipment and similar electrical appliances and similar electronic, multimedia and switchgear equipment. Manufacturers, importers and authorised representatives relating to the aforementioned devices must therefore check whether the test reports on which the market conformity of their products is based have lost their validity.

Manufacturers, importers and authorised representatives relating to the aforementioned devices must therefore check whether the test reports on which the market conformity of their products is based have lost their validity. The company trade-e-bility GmbH offers to check the EU declarations of conformity and thus the marketability of the products concerned.
