Changing European regulations

The ENEC Mark Scheme is designed to meet the needs of new regulations and market surveillance requirements proposed by the European Commission.

The ENEC Mark is a powerful tool to ensure the safety of products entering the market. Safety requirements continue to be checked after the product is brought to market with responsibility on the manufacturer and distributor in recording product technical data, sourcing, distribution and sales records.

The expansion of the ENEC Mark Certification Scheme to all electrical products creates a single independent high quality safety mark for Europe. The opening of the Scheme to manufacturers worldwide will improve the safety of electrical products being placed on the European market.

The development and wide use of the ENEC Mark Scheme will make a significant contribution to the market, enhancing:

• Electrical product safety
• Traceability
• Market surveillance
• Effective handling of any product safety issues
