Description

The European Union is one of the wealthiest market in the world... and one of the most regulated!

Selling a product in this market, whether you are a manufacturer bases within or outside the European Union, an importer o a simple reseller/distributor, implies that you takes responsibilities, wether you like it or not.

This course introduce you to the most important concept of the European product legislation.

After a short introduction on the European Union, it will explain the concept of the free movement of products, the main pillar on which the huge European market relies on.

Then the course will go into details, explaining the product legislation framework, starting with its types of legal acts, and explaining two of the most common directives:

- the General Product Safety Directive

- the Directive on Product Liability

Then we will explain when and how the legislation applies, introducing, among others, the concepts of 

- selling techniques and types of products

- making available

- placing on the market

- intended use and misuse

Finally, we will examine in details responsibilities and obligations of the main economic actors:

- Manufacturer (within or outside European Union)

- Authorised Representative

- Importer

- Distributor

- End user (even though not an economic operator strictly speaking)

At the end of the course you will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the European Union legislative framework, and you will have  the vocabulary and the autonomy to further deepen your knowledge in a specific field like for instance in the Toys industry, in the Medical Device field, and so on.

Product designers should take this course. The CE marking is important. The lessons are Power Point presentations with the instructor reading the text. Nevertheless, use it as an introduction to the documentation that you must hunt down. Electronic products, for example, must meet CE and RoHS requirements.

Hi Folks, If anyone is interested - you may as well refer to this free document https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52022XC0629(04)&from=EN than have someone practically read it to you emotionlessly slide by slide. The author did not even care enough to change the titles and the flow. He offers no case-study or any additional insight whatsoever. Cheers, Bartosz

It is not the first course from Mr. Marco Catanossi that I've taken on Udemy. Knowing the high quality of his courses, i had high expectations. I am disappointed with this one. The course consists of series of slides, that are read without many emotions. I've found this course useful to learn fundamentals about this topic, but also very boring. I can certainly recommend other courses from Mr. Catanossi, but I would suggest taking this one only if you are responsible for a product or a company for the first time and you are in need of learning the summarized basics of the European Legislation and CE marking very fast in order to avoid doing a critical mistake in the near future. Regards, Dariusz
