Certification


SITAC logo - Swedish Institute for Technical Approval in COnstruction     CE logo

CE Marking is a legal requirement for any product which falls under the scope of any of the New Approach Directives if you are using that product in, or placing it on the market in any EU Country. Once the CE Mark is applied to a product it is accepted in any EU Country, (this does away with the need to have your product tested and certified in each country individually).
