Thanks Charlie. I checked the latest on the RED. Below is an excerpt on the stats. Amazing. Wonder what the penalties were..... hmmmm..
ADCO RED report to TCAM WG on market surveillance statistics for 2016 * 2. Results for 2016 * Totally, 13,488 R&TTE equipment has been inspected by 25 market surveillance authorities in 2016: Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and United Kingdom. About 10391 equipment were been found non-compliant to the provisions of the R&TTE Directive. However, due to the fact that not all provisions were checked by all involved market surveillance authorities, the effective amount of non compliant equipment may be higher. *Summary of the results: Overall : 10391 non compliant equipment (13488 inspected equipment)* - Declaration of conformity : 9372 non compliant DoC (13224 inspected equipment) - CE marking : 8307 non complaint CE marking (13371 inspected equipment) - Geographical area for use : 3773 not compliances (11750 inspected equipment) - Essential requirements : 579 technical non compliances (of 2131 measured equipment) - Safety (art.3.1.a): 116 technical non compliances (of 488 measured equipment) - EMC (art 3.1.b.): 84 technical non compliances (of 583 measured equipment) - Radio (art.3.2.) : 434 technical non compliances (of 1755 measured equipment) - Technical documentation: 276 non compliances (of 651 inspected equipment) - Test reports: 236 non compliances (of 603 inspected equipment) - Drawings and explanations: 47 non compliances (of 212 inspected equipment) - Other elements: 79 non compliances (of 326 inspected equipment) Regan On Mon, Oct 29, 2018 at 4:47 PM Charlie Blackham < [email protected]> wrote: > Regan > > > > Market enforcement reports from the various “AdCos”, Administrative > Cooperation Groups, can be found at > http://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/building-blocks/market-surveillance/organisation/administrative-cooperation-groups_en > under the “Documents from the AdCo Groups) > > > > As well as a number of reports on EMC, you may wish to look at the > R&TTE/RED ones as well > > > > Regards > > Charlie > > > > *Charlie Blackham* > > *Sulis Consultants Ltd* > > *Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317* > > *Web: **www.sulisconsultants.com* > <https://outlook.hslive.net/owa/redir.aspx?C=02be3bf3e3a544d1bdf7b6c99fbd12f5&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sulisconsultants.com%2f> > > Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 > > > > *From:* Regan Arndt <[email protected]> > *Sent:* 29 October 2018 23:34 > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [PSES] CE non-conformity statistics > > > > Greetings fellow members, > > > > Out of curiosity, has anyone been privy to any recent EU statistics for > those manufacturers who have been subjected to customs investigations > pertaining to CE marking, penalties, sales bans, etc. due to, not only > selling an unsafe product but, having no CE marking on product, no DoC, > insufficient technical files, non-compliance to the directives, etc? > > The only thing I can find on the web that has something close is from > Yvonne Halpaus of QNET, LLC where she recently published a guide on CE > marking in 2015.
