One set of rules opens 27 EU member states (and the wider EEA). Most manufactured goods need CE marking under the relevant EU directives and regulations. Radio products fall under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and electronics and articles must meet RoHS and REACH chemical rules. Since EU market-surveillance rules also require a responsible economic operator inside the EU, the paperwork matters as much as the testing. Global Approbation manages the whole package for Indian manufacturers.
