REPORT

Now we have compiled all our knowledge into one exciting report of invaluable use to manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment. 

Electrical safety is of increasing importance and since the MRA agreement between USA and Europe on electrical safety has been canceled (1-2003), you will definitely need a European test house.

This report shows you how to deal with the electrical safety  aspects of ce marking, shows you what to deal with first and prevent an early failure. That will save you weeks and weeks of time... better spend in building your market.

This report has been written by Ing. Gert Gremmen, director of ce-test and an expert in ce marking. Mr. Gremmen has been member of the IEC/NEC EMC voting committee in the Netherlands  since 1998 and therefore has access to most EMC documents to come, including EC documents in concept and final version.

Mr. Gremmen has been selected as one of the European experts on ce marking to prepare a guidebook and workshop on the application of harmonized standards in EMC testing for the 10 new (2004) Central / East /South European future EC members. This guide book/workshop will allow  test houses and future Notified Bodies  how to deal with the new European regulations for EMC.

So, do not hesitate and obtain your copy of this exciting new report that will open a  huge new market for your products..
