". – The objectives of the forthcoming communication on the new approach, enhancing the implementation and new approach are: firstly, to analyse the overall situation in the field of new approach directives which cover a wide range of products; secondly, to detect possible weaknesses; and thirdly, to outline remedial measures to improve the application of the new approach directives.
CE conformity is one of the main points that have been identified as requiring strengthening. This marking, required by most new approach directives, is addressed to market surveillance authorities of the Member States and symbolises the conformity of the product with the applicable Community requirements imposed on the manufacturer.
The communication will also address the issue of the relationship between the CE marking and voluntary markings. The Commission has conducted an on-line survey of new approach stakeholders. As far as the CE marking was concerned, the Commission has taken on board the opinions of the majority of those who replied, the main thinking being that the additional voluntary markings are not in contradiction with the CE marking, as long as they do not cause confusion or overlap in meaning or purpose with it. They also often provide added value for consumers, users, public authorities and all those being addressed.
Third party certifiers are in some sectors already involved in the conformity assessment procedures leading to the CE marking. It is also quite often stipulated that the identification number of the item should appear next to the CE marking. Third party certification, in areas of conformity assessment where no harmonised directives apply, is permitted and even welcomed, since it indicates to the people to whom it is addressed that certain qualities of the product have been tested and certified by the body in question."@en1
