of an `Agreement of Understanding' between the
European Notified Bodies still results in some
difficulties in this area. There is still no ideal single
European product, since special versions are
almost always required for certain markets.
Furthermore, some markets will simply not
open up with just a CE mark under the CPD. Addi-
tional approvals using
national standards are
often required to satisfy
specific regional and mar-
ket requirements, thus
resulting in some dilution
of the objectives of the
CPD. However, the additional requirements
required by some countries within Europe can only
be just that . . . additional, and cannot conflict with
or contradict a specific requirement within the offi-
cial harmonised standards. Cooper Fulleon has
catered for these specific markets and regions with
a range of `special build' Manual Call Points with
additional functionality or labelling requirements.
At present, CE marking to the CPD may not be
mandatory in the UK or some other European
countries, but it is important to ensure that you
are not caught out if or when it does becomes
mandatory. In many other countries within Europe
it is a legal requirement. At Cooper Fulleon, we
believe that it is essential to fully embrace the new
requirements. It is important to try and gain some
real benefits from the process by effecting real
improvements in performance, quality and flexi-
bility. We have gone some way to achieving this
with our updated and certified CX Manual Call
Point Range. IFP
