1 New Legal Framework Carlo Casati Milan, 1 April 2016

2 Summary New Legislative Framework Market Surveillance Conformity Assessment CE Marking NOTIFIED BODY TRAINING 01

3 New Legislative Framework (NLF) 3

4 European Union Law (Aquis) Primary legislation Founding Treaties Constitution Secondary legislation Jurisprudence Sentences of the Court of Justice Sentences of the Court of First Instance 4

5 European Union Legal instruments Regulations: these are binding in their entirety and directly applicable in all Member States; Directives: these bind the Member States as to the results to be achieved; they have to be transposed into the national legal framework and thus leave margin for manoeuvre as to the form and means of implementation; Decisions: these are fully binding on those to whom they are addressed; Recommendations and opinions: these are nonbinding, declaratory instruments. 5

6 New Legislative Framework To improve the internal market for goods and strengthen the conditions for placing a wide range of products on the EU Market, the New Legislative Framework was adopted in 2008 improves market surveillance rules to better protect both consumers and professionals from unsafe products, including those imported from outside the EU; sets clear and transparent rules for the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies; boosts the quality of and confidence in the conformity assessment of products through stronger and clearer rules on the requirements for the notification of conformity assessment bodies; clarifies the meaning of CE marking and enhances its credibility; establishes a common legal framework for industrial products in the form of a toolbox of measures for use in future legislation. 6

7 The package consists of: Regulation (EC) 765/2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and the market surveillance of products; Decision 768/2008 on a common framework for the marketing of products, which includes reference provisions to be incorporated whenever product legislation is revised. In effect, it is a template for future product harmonisation legislation; Regulation (EC) 764/2008 laying down procedures relating to the application of certain national technical rules to products lawfully marketed in another EU country. 7

8 Alignment of product legislation Low Voltage Directive /35/EU; Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive: 2014/30/EU; ATEX Directive /34/EU; Lifts Directive /33/EU; Simple Pressure Vessels Directive /29/EU; Measuring Instruments Directive /32/EU; Non-automatic Weighing Instruments Directive /31/EU; Civil Explosives Directive /28/EU. 8

9 Alignment of product legislation In addition, aligned legislation has also been adopted in the areas of Pyrotechnic Articles (Directive 2013/29/EU), Toy Safety (2009/48/EU), Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2011/65/EU), Recreational Craft (2013/53/EU), Radio Equipment (2014/53/EU), Pressure Equipment (2014/68/EU) and Marine Equipment (2014/90/EU). Further aligning proposals are pending on Medical Devices, Gas Appliances, Cableways, and Personal Protective Equipment. 9

10 Market Surveillance 10

11 Market surveillance for products Member States have to take appropriate measures to prevent the placing on the market and use of non-compliant products. Market surveillance activities may be organized differently depending on the nature of the product and may range from control of formal requirements to profound laboratory examinations. All economic operators have a role and obligations in market surveillance. One major task for market surveillance authorities is to keep the public informed against potential risks (RAPEX) Non-compliant products are subject to corrective measures, bans withdrawals or recalls. The level of the sanctions is determined at national level 11

12 Economic Operators Manufacturer The manufacturer is any natural or legal person who manufactures a product or has a product designed or manufactured, and places it on the market under his own name or trademark. The manufacturer is responsible for the conformity assessment of the product and is subject to a series of obligations including traceability requirements. When placing a product on the Union market, the responsibilities of a manufacturer are the same whether he is established outside the European Union or in a Member State. The manufacturer must cooperate with the competent national authorities in charge of market surveillance in case of a product presenting a risk or being non-compliant. 12

13 Economic Operators Authorised representative Irrespectively of whether he is established in the EU or not, the manufacturer may appoint an authorised representative in the Union to act on his behalf in carrying out certain tasks. Importer The importer is a natural or legal person established in the Union who places a product from a third country on the EU market. His obligations build on the obligation of the manufacturer. Distributor The distributor is a natural or a legal person in the supply chain, other than the manufacturer or the importer, who makes a product available on the market. Distributors are subject to specific obligations and have a key role to play in the context of market surveillance. 13

14 Conformity Assessment 14

15 Single Market and European Standardisation CEN European Committee for Standardization CENELEC European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization ETSI European Telecommunication Standard Institute Technical Harmonization Single Market 15

16 Conformity Assessment and Global Approach Not only rules (technical harmonisation) must be shared but also how to assess them Global Approach: Module Conformity Assessment Notified Bodies CE marking Global Approach Technical Requirements Module Conformity Assessment 16

17 Conformity Assessment Modules There are eight modules. Some of them have variants. 17

18 Technical Innovation and New Approach Innovative products can not be subjected by technical standards, as they have long development times. The new approach completes the global approach keeping the rules for conformity assessment but replacing technical regulation with essential requirement. New Approach Essential Requirements Module Conformity Assessment 18

19 Presumption of Conformity Essential Requirements (must) Conformity Harmonised standards (possibility) Presumption of Conformity The conformity of a product may be demonstrated not only by harmonised standards but also by other technical specifications. Other technical specifications however do not benefit from the presumption of conformity. Ceases if: The harmonised standard expires The contrary is proved WORKSHOP NUOVE DIRETTIVE LVD - EMC - RED - ATEX

20 Why standards are used or not used? Used Presumption of conformity through standards requires often less resources (time, money, competence, ) than proving essential requirements. Standards are worldwide recognised, may be used commercially. Not Used By means of technical documentation the conformity of a product family can be derived (this is not possible for global approach and standard based product certification). No specific standards are available WORKSHOP NUOVE DIRETTIVE LVD - EMC - RED - ATEX

21 Why standards are not used? Regulation 765/2008 promotes a uniformly rigorous approach to accreditation across EU countries. The main principles of accreditation are: one accreditation body per EU country (it is possible however to use another country s national accreditation body); accreditation is a public sector activity and a not-for-profit activity; there is no competition between national accreditation bodies; stakeholders are represented; accreditation is the preferred means of demonstrating technical capacity of notified bodies in the regulated area. Nando (New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations) Information System 21

22 CE Marking 22

23 CE Marking What does the CE marking on a product indicate? By affixing the CE marking to a product, the manufacturer declares on his sole responsibility that the product is in conformity with the essential requirements of the applicable Union harmonisation legislation providing for its affixing and that the relevant conformity assessment procedures have been fulfilled. Products bearing the CE marking are presumed to be in compliance with the applicable Union harmonisation legislation and hence benefit from free circulation in the European Market. What is a manufacturer s Declaration of Conformity? The EU Declaration of Conformity (EU DoC) is a document in which the manufacturer, or his authorised representative within the European Economic Area (EEA), indicates that the product meets all the necessary requirements of the Union harmonisation legislation applicable to the specific product. The EU DoC must be signed by an individual working for the manufacturer or his authorised representative, and the employee s function shall also be indicated. Whether a Notified Body has been involved or not, the manufacturer must draw up and sign the EE Declaration of Conformity. 23

24 CE marking Legal tool Mainly based on new legislative framework directives Fulfilment of essential requirements Presumption of conformity if compliance to harmonised standards Application of conformity assessment procedures Asserted by technical documentation & UE declaration of conformity WORKSHOP NUOVE DIRETTIVE LVD - EMC - RED - ATEX
