Conformity Assessment Return to top<br />
Conformity Assessment is a mandatory step for the manufacturer in the process of<br />
complying with specific EU legislation. The purpose of conformity assessment is to<br />
ensure consistency of compliance during all stages of the production process to facilitate<br />
acceptance of the final product. EU product legislation gives manufacturers some choice<br />
with regard to conformity assessment, depending on the level of risk involved in the use<br />
of their product. These range from self-certification, type examination and production<br />
quality control system, to full quality assurance system. You can find conformity<br />
assessment bodies in individual Member State country in this list by the European<br />
Commission.<br />
