The directive 2014/53/EU, which amends the current 1999/5/EC directive, has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
However, in this expectation LCIE Bureau Veritas wishes to provide you with the following information:
Directive 1995/5/EC (R & TTE) will be abrogated as from June 13th, 2016.
It remains the only applicable directive until this date.
As of June 13th, 2016, the new Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), will enter into force.
For a year, the two directives will be applicable for products that were covered by the R & TTE and remain covered by the directive RED. (For other cases, contact us).
The new directive becomes applicable from June 13th, 2016. The products stored must have been prepared to meet the new requirements. |
|
An apparatus must meet the legal obligations when it is placed on the market for the first time. Products stored at distributors’ or users’ are considered as placed on the market already : 2014/53/EU directive does not apply. |
|
There is an overlap period during which the two instructions are applicable. The changeover date is from June 13th, 2016 and the end date is fixed transitional period from June 13th, 2017. |
An application guide will be published by the European Commission in 2016 to clarify the transitional arrangements and confirm the answers given above.
For a smooth implementation of the new directive, we recommend that you should:
1- Assess the impact of the changes to be made to the documentation (declarations of conformity, marking drawings, quality documentation, sales literature, Website, etc…)
2- Train and inform your personnel and your business partners (distributors, importers, resellers).
3- In order to obtain EU type examination certificates as early as possible from June 13th 2016, plan well in advance the assessment of your products with LCIE.
