Tackling the Issue of Non-Compliant Products with a new EMC Directive

Over the past decade, market surveillance has consistently revealed high levels of non-compliance in various industry sectors, prompting the European Commission to address the issue through the recasting of nine CE Marking Directives, including the EMC Directive. The new provisions aim to enhance product compliance by maintaining the manufacturer's ultimate responsibility while distributing obligations across the supply chain. The goal is to improve traceability and reduce non-compliant products. The Commission believes that involving more economic operators in the supply chain will pressure manufacturers to meet obligations. However, the effectiveness of this approach remains uncertain, given the historical compliance rate of around 9%. The enforcement of the EMC Directive, seen by many as a potent tool, faces challenges, as market surveillance often reveals low compliance without clear links to enforcement actions. In the UK, enforcement has traditionally been complaint-driven, but the adaptation of this system to meet the requirements of the New Legislative Framework (NLF) remains unclear despite the implementation of 2014/30/EU.
