Does my product need a Notified Body for EU market access?

Notified Body assessment is required for: Class II-III medical devices, high-risk machinery (e.g., lifts, pressure vessels), PPE Category III, construction products needing Type Examination, radio equipment with new spectrum. 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. EEPC India provides CE marking guidance for Indian engineering exporters.
Can Indian organic food be exported to EU?
Yes, subject to EU organic regulation (Regulation 2018/848). Indian organic food producers must be certified by an EU-recognised control body. Process: (1) register with an EU-recognised Indian control body (e.g., ECOCERT India, SGS India, BUREAU VERITAS India, OneCert Asia), (2) undergo annual inspection, (3) obtain EU organic certificate, (4) label goods as 'certified organic' with EU organic logo. APEDA manages India' national organic programme (NPOP) — NPOP has partial EU equivalence for certain product categories.
What is ESG and why is it important for Indian exporters?
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is a framework evaluating a company' sustainability performance. EU buyers are increasingly imposing ESG requirements on their supply chains — driven by: EU Taxonomy (green finance), CSRD (sustainability reporting), CSDDD (due diligence), EU Green Deal, and consumer demand for sustainable products. Indian exporters who cannot demonstrate ESG compliance risk losing EU contracts as sustainability becomes a procurement criterion.
