ENEC Mark
ENEC - The European Safety Mark
At the instigation of European manufacturers' associations, European testing and certification centres agreed to evaluate the safety requirements to be met by electrical products throughout Europe in a uniform manner. The result of this initiative was the ENEC Accord and the ENEC Mark (E N E C = European Norms Electrical Certification). Presently, the accord regulates the certification of lighting, office equipment and components.
The purpose
You obviously want to do everything to ensure your products can be sold and distributed successfully. The ENEC Accord and the single testing and certification process it foresees provides you with access to markets within the EU and beyond - EFTA members and many Eastern European countries also recognise the ENEC mark. You no longer need you go through the time-consuming and costly business of applying for individual certification in each country. The ENEC certificate gives you the certainty that your products offer "European-level" safety which has been officially verified by an independent testing and certification body.
The procedure
The compliance of your product with relevant European standards is a requirement for the awarding of an ENEC certificate. Manufacturing companies need to have a QM system in place (e.g. based on ISO 9001). The testing centre performing certification then checks at regular intervals that the requirements to be met according to the given system are complied with.
