Report from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council

On 5 December 2022, the European Commission issued the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93

Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 339/93 provides that "By 1 January 2013 and every five years thereafter, the Commission shall, in cooperation with the Member States, draw up and submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Regulation". In this respect, the Commission has adopted and published a report, see the following link: EUR-Lex - 52022DC0679 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu).

The report provides an overview of how the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 relating to accreditation and CE marking have been implemented between 2018 and 2022. The report confirms that the European accreditation infrastructure created by Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 has demonstrated its added value. The report also confirms that accreditation faces the challenge of strengthening its robustness and reliability and keeping it in line with the state of the art.

The report does not propose any changes to the European legal framework. This report is not an assessment of the current relevance and coherence of the framework for accreditation and CE marking. These aspects are assessed in the framework of the "Evaluation of the new legislative framework (NLF)" carried out by the Commission in 2022 ( see Industrial products - evaluation of the new legislative framework (europa.eu).
