Search for NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations) database for EU Notified Bodies — TUV SUD, Bureau Veritas, SGS are the most commonly used by Indian exporters.
What certifications do Indian engineering exporters need for EU?
Indian engineering goods exporters to EU need: (1) CE marking (mandatory for machinery, electrical equipment, pressure vessels, etc.), (2) ISO 9001 quality management certification (required by most EU buyers), (3) IATF 16949 for automotive components, (4) ISO 14001 for environmentally conscious EU buyers, (5) Product-specific standards (EN standards, DIN, ISO), (6) Third-party inspection certificate from TUV SUD/Bureau Veritas/SGS.
