ENEC + can be granted subject the product is also granted with the ENEC safety mark
One important aspect of product-related environmental protection is environmentally safe product recycling or disposal. This is possible only with the knowledge of the substances contained and the potential hazards to health and to the environment that they represent. Therefore, the manufacturer should know which environmentally relevant substances are contained in his products. Additionally, he should know the distribution and the concentrations of these substances. He should be able to give the required information to those who need it. This guideline is written to assist companies which have to develop materials declaration questionnaires for products, for instance as part of purchase specifications. It intends to increase the harmonization and the comparability of the various questionnaires.

10. Which Industry is using the ENEC System?
75% of the ENEC Applicants are from SMEs.
To be sure to market safe products
Provides objective basis for fair comparison
Being recognized outside Europe by regulations calling for Type 5 C.A.
Validates designs and prototypes
Establish a solid Technical File
Why ENEC?

11. Main benefits Independent third party certification
One stop Service. 1 standard, 1 test, 1 certification
Ongoing product and production surveillance
All certified products listed in a publicly available database
Single European Mark, accepted throughout Europe and beyond
Safety and performance assurance for the lifetime of the product
Strict competence of CBs and TLs on-going assessed through Accreditations & Peer Assessment programme
Uniform understanding and application of the standards regardless the location of the CBs and TLs.
Protected Marks
Main benefits
All the documents and forms used as well as qualification requirements for factory inspectors are harmonized between Members. So there is the general idea of having one test, one factory surveillance/inspection and one certification recognized by all participants. This means no further tests or multiple factory visits are required.

19. Evolution offer
ETICS has recently voted a resolution to promote ENEC Scheme using modern technologies and switching into Digitalisation. The QR-C or any other future standardised encoding mode (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, etc.) allows to instantly identify that e.g. Consumer Goods have been tested and found compliant with the relevant requirements of the product standards.

20. Common centralised database
Evolution offer
ETICS administers a centralised European Database hosting all ENEC certified products which will allow Consumer, Retailers, Buyers, Custom Officers, Market Surveillance Authorities and any other Stakeholder, by scanning the QR-C, to consult/verify/investigate the status of the product, the Certification Body that has issued the certificate, the scope and extent of the compliance (safety, performance, etc).

24. Access by Custom Officers
A strong set of anti-counterfeit features may improve the appetite for clients buying into the program. Industry associations, as well as market surveillance authorities and customs’ officers would all plaude the initiative, should we be successful in adding these features in a simple, industry-friendly manner. Collaboration with Custom Officers (Interpol, Europol) by e.g. Providing them direct access to the Database is an example to fight counterfeit.
