Directives are a form of product certification.
Companies who manufacture machinery, medical devices, medicinal products, food, pressure vessels, toys, personal protective equipment, electronic devices, animal feeds, and veterinary products and who intend to sell or are currently selling to the EU may be required to comply with specific product standards. Compliance with these standards is mandatory. Companies who fail to comply risk having their products pulled from the EU market. If a formal quality is required, Internal and Lead Auditor training should be conducted. All pricing is stated in US dollars and is only for services provided in North America.
