Poland (B-Mark)
General
With the entry of Poland into the EU (01.05.2004) the Polish B-mark became a voluntary test mark. All issued certificates are keeping its validity without any changes for the license holder. The Polish B-mark can be used additionally to the required CE-marking. The EMC requirements for B-Mark were adjusted to the EMC directive. Since 01.05.2004 emission and immission is required.
TÜV Rheinland has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PCBC (Polskie Centrum Badan I Certyfikacji) for B-Mark approval. PCBC issues the Polish Safety Mark B based on the documentation provided by TÜV Rheinland. The B-mark is still well-known in the Polish market and purchase decisions are based on Polish B-Mark.
Foresight
There will be a multiplicity of Polish Safety marks in the future. B-Mark will be issued by several Certification Bodies and also other voluntary safety marks can be used to show a conformity to the polish Safety and EMC requirements. All these voluntary safety marks shall be registered under the PCA (Polish Centre for Accreditation) accreditation scheme.
