Importance of
CE
-
For companies that have invested
time, resources and money to improve the safety and quality of
their products, certification is a vital step towards giving
them the right visibility vis-à-vis the market and their
customers. Safety and quality marks are in fact the visible
guarantee that a product has been manufactured to conform to
safety requirements, and that it has been tested by an
independent body which carries out all tests on the product
required by reference standards and also monitors production
on a regular and constant basis. Certification has other
benefits too. For manufacturers, certification is an important
protection tool as concerns liability for damages due to
faulty products. In fact, the Presidential Decree no. 224 of
24.05.1988 states that manufacturers are held liable for the
consequences of faulty products, unless they can prove that
the fault was coincidental; this proof derives from the fact
that all possible measures have to been taken to control
production of the product both internally, and externally
though the monitoring of a certification body.
