In Finland, the regulatory authorities responsible for consumer safety ban around 100 products annually and order the recall of another 50. Product recalls and sales bans are expensive, not only in terms of monetary costs, but also in damage to your business’s reputation.
Ensure that electrical products are safe and meet European requirements with third party certification before they are sold on the open market. FI Certification services are a practical and cost-efficient way to ensure conformity.
