Meer over het boek

German importers, as well as their advisers, need to understand the technical standards to which products destined for import into Germany must adhere, in addition to the penalties for noncompliance.The publication discusses the concept of the CE-marking and the potential liability, under both private and administrative law, which may result from infraction of the technical standards.The book also renders information about possible consequences an importer has to face if he affixes the CE-marking without being entitled to do so.Of special note is the large, practical annex containing the CE-Directives, along with English translations of the German Product Liability Act, the German Product Safety Act, and the German Equipment Safety Act.
