For a CE marked product to be approved, a manufacturer has to be able to prove that the product has passed the appropriate quality assurance tests. A manufacturer has to hire a qualified third party to perform these tests. Both the products and the manufacturing process need to be tested. If a manufacturer has dozens of products, this process can take a long time.

Because CE approval is such a time-consuming--and sometimes expensive--process, it is important to market the goods effectively. Using the CE Directory, you can make back the capital your company put into CE quality assurance testing. It only costs a small fee to be in our directory, and it is an investment that really pays for itself.

CE Marketing
The main problem we see with manufacturers is that they stop with certification. CE marking is such a long process that manufacturers are exhausted by the process and they are just satisfied to have the CE marking on their products. Really, CE marking is just half of the equation. You need to reach buyers, planners, designers, and other professionals in the EU.

The advantage of using our directory is that you can reach many different types of people. Perhaps one manufacturer has a varying list of products. Different buyers come looking for different things. Our advanced search engine can create detailed lists of products with very simple search criteria. This way more people will have access to every product in a manufacturer's product line.
