Directives
EC Product Directives were created by the European Union (EU) to achieve the free movement of goods and services throughout Europe.
Safely deliver the standard your customers expect by achieving certification to European Commission Product Directives (EC Directives).
EC Directives were created by the European Union (EU) as a result of the Treaty of Rome, 1957. They are intended to remove barriers to European trade that could be caused by the multiple testing and certification of items and equipment to meet the regulations of individual EU member state markets.
Independent testing, inspection or certification of a product according to a Directive must be done by a body that is approved by a government of the Community and notified to the EC.
EC Directive services are provided by LRQA and Lloyd's Register Verification on behalf of the Lloyd's Register Group.
