Check whether your product must be tested by a Notified Body
For some products, special conformity assessment bodies ('Notified Bodies') must verify that your product meets the specific technical requirements. This is not obligatory for all products.
Compile the technical dossier Your technical dossier should include all the documents that prove that your product complies with the technical requirements.
Importers
While manufacturers are responsible for ensuring product compliance and affixing the CE marking, importers must make sure that the products they place on the market comply with the applicable requirements and do not present a risk to the European public. The importer has to verify that the manufacturer outside the EU has taken the necessary steps and that the documentation is available upon request.
Distributors
Distributors must have a basic knowledge of the legal requirements – including which products must bear the CE marking and the accompanying documentation – and should be able to identify products that are clearly not in compliance. They must also be able to demonstrate to national authorities that they have acted with due care and have affirmation from the manufacturer or the importer that the necessary measures have been taken. Furthermore, a distributor must be able to assist national authorities in their efforts to receive the required documentation.
Keep Your Technical Files
As your European Authorised/Authorized Representative, we store and update the Technical Files of your products sold in Europe. The Technical Files may be inspected at any time by the Competent Authorities for a period ending at least five (5) years after the last product has been manufactured.
Legislation Monitoring
We monitor and report on new developments in European product legislation relevant to your products.
Affix the CE marking and draft a declaration of conformity Finally you can affix the CE marking on your product. The marking must be visible, legible and indelible. If you had to involve a notified body in step 3, you should also put the identification number of this body on the product. You must also draft and sign an EU declaration of conformity stating that your product meets all legal requirements.

Your distributor may excel in marketing and sales, but is he equipped or even interested in handling regulatory and legal issues?
